I wish I had read the reviews before wasting good time and money on this Cafe. We walked into Indulgence on Saturday morning, they were not particularly busy. The be-speckled brunette behind the counter did not even so much as say hello to us let alone smile. Took our order for breakfast and coffee and we took our seat and waited…..and waited…..and waited. One coffee (cold) arrived after 10-15mins without the milk on the side, the barrista was obviously busy, making poncy designs on the tops of coffees. My coffee arrived after about another 10 mins. Our hearts sank when a group of 4 people who were comfortably seated when we arrived had their meals served. And then sank again when we saw the amount of food that went back to the kitchen on their plates. Another 10-15 mins and our meals arrived. Cold! And for the price that I was paying I was expecting proper smoked salmon on my eggs bene not salmon from a tin. We left feeling very unhappy, as did about 10-15 people who walked out without being acknowledged or served while we were waiting for our meals. Such a disappointment. The only redeeming feature was that we had a newspaper to read while we waited.

I won’t be going back ever again. What an easy way to go out of business when there are so many other Cafe’s in Taupo to patronise

Food wise the cheese scones are to ‘die for’. I even went back for seconds. Staff were friendly the day i was there, but decor may need a ‘freshen up’ at some point soon.
Will go back for the coffee and scones though!

Avoid this one at all costs. I waited 15minutes for a panini to be toasted and when i finally received it it was rock hard and uneatable as someone had obviously forgotten it was in the toaster. This would be semi undastandable if they were flat out busy but strabge considering there were about 8 people in there at the time.

the only positive thing was the wellington slice that i had been searching eveywhere for..although not as great as others ive had it was definately very nice!
