Got an amazing banan bread here and a hot chocolate! The salted caramel cookie is good but a bit overpowering. I think we came at a busy time but would definitely come back here for the amazing banana bread! Recommend it highly :)

Wanted a light breakfast with excellent coffee. This place came highly recommended from Google reviews and it hit the spot just right Found a warm friendly welcome from the wonderful ladies behind the bar who made us 2 beautiful cups of delicious coffee and the croissants were just what we needed for breakfast The staff were nice enough to offer a refund when they realized they had overcharged me for an extra coffee but the coffee here was so beautiful, definitely did not mind a second cup

The coffee here is spot on. While in Queenstown for a few days, I searched Google for the best coffee in town—this place came up in the top three with a ton of glowing reviews. One recent review said, “As an Australian, this was excellent coffee,” which was all the convincing we needed. And they were right. The coffee did not disappoint—we ended up coming back multiple times a day for the rest of our trip. The ladies running the café are warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely. Combine that with consistently excellent coffee, and you’ve got a winner. If you’re serious about your coffee, don’t miss this place.
