At peak hour, the minimum waiting time for menu-ordered food was 30 minutes which made us go for cabinet food. We love the salmon bagel and pizza. The taste of the roasted vegetable frittata was not bad. The coffee with vanilla had captured our souls. Very good service and attention. Oh yes, the patrons had mostly left near 11 am for my photography action. Wonderful! (2023-12)
Stopped by for breakfast. Had the hot smoked salmon bagel (amazingly good - the salmon was so flavorful and was warm (capers with it too). Bagel had pumpkin seeds on it and cream cheese was very good too) and the big breakfast (very tasty, large amount of food).
Also had the kiwi berry smoothie which was nice and refreshing. Got an earl grey with milk and a latte as well.
It’s a cute place with character. Reasonably priced. The service was exceptional too very friendly staff. Shoutout to Rachel!
I believe she mentioned it’s woman owned with a woman chef too so that’s extra cool.
Coffee was excellent. Yet to try other coffee around here so can't say it's the best but definitely one of the better ones in South Island.
I ordered the steak sandwich while my partner ordered the corn fritters. There is ALOT of corn in the fritters and some chili too. So avoid if you can't take the heat.
Price was up towards the mid-high end mark but I guess it's the normal price around here. Will come back for other things on the menu if there's time.
Super yummy breakfast and the butterscotch latte was perfect! Loved the hash brown stack eggs Benedict as the toast/bread is my least favourite part and this comes on hash browns instead!
Highly recommend!
Visited this cafe a few times when I visited Te Anau in August 2023. It is in an amazing location, with views towards the mountains - perfect spot to soak up some sun with your coffee or breakfast.
Plenty on outdoor seating, with shading, & the inside has plenty of comfy chairs & a toasty atmosphere. Toilets are clean (but very tiny).
Staff were great & service was fairly quick, even during the busy breakfast period. Price was very reasonable.
Perfect local cafe, friendly team and plenty to eat! I haven't managed to eat everything on the plate yet (granted only 2 visits in my two days here so far!). Highly recommend! Note that you may need to ask for double shots of coffee if you're a coffee person. It was very busy Saturday morning so look around for a seat, but Sunday morning was easy.
Great old school cafe with 90s vibe. Big breakfast and flat white coffee in a huge mug, every meal is pretty much a kiwi classic. Can be very busy thou. Hats off to the staff keeping up with the orders!
Very busy but efficient café. The herbed scrambled eggs had plenty of cheese in them. Strong coffee. Don't dither near the cash register, decide what you want, order it and go sit down at the huge wooden tables. Protect your food from the seagulls. Te Anau has thousands of tourists and the local cafés and restaurants all seem to be struggling with the numbers.
I loved this place. We were on a road trip and had a quick stop for a bite. I loved the breakfast burger. All the items were so nice and tasty and the coffee was nicely done.
The decor, the staff and the vibe make you want to visit there anytime.
Well done to the team.
Fantastic food and service! The coffee was sooo good! We got the big breakfast and it was BIG as well as very tasty.
