Stopped in while visiting Dunedin, and the hospitality towards us was amazing! The owners are so welcoming, lovely and kind. The iced mocha was delicious! I will be back again next time im visiting Dunedin. Thank you!

Lovely little cafe right across the gardens with fantastic coffee and home made cabinet foods that cater to a range of dietary requirements. Best custard square I have tried, can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!

Just had coffee here, strong and tasty. Apparently has gluten free food options, though we only got drinks today. On busy street corner, view of roads and gardens. Some street parking. One loo: accessible and unisex

Absolutely love this cafe! The owners are very friendly and create such welcoming atmosphere. They’ve got a yummy variety of ice cream and the coffee was solid too. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Nice to be able to have afternoon tea (most other places close at 2 or 3). Good leaf tea; nice dairy-free, gluten-free lemon slice. The service was good and everything seemed clean. However, the vibe is decidedly old-school and homemade, so if you're expecting a trendy atmosphere, go elsewhere.

Amazing service, super friendly couple. Best coffee and hot chocolate we’ve had in NZ. Delicious creamy chicken and avocado ciabatta and yum as ham and cheese toastie. So reasonably priced as well!
