Cafe Baku
Cafe Baku is a casual spot serving European fusion breakfast and lunch in New Zealand, including Allpress coffee and a licensed bar. Vegan diners will find a limited selection such as the vege stack breakfast that can be veganised and a Mediterranean Chick Pea Salad, though options are sparse and may lack substitutions or replacements. The cafe offers outdoor seating with views over Lake Taupo but has inconsistent vegan menu labeling and hygiene concerns raised in recent reviews.
