   New management as of 2025 and finally this is a cafe worthy of such a great museum! Freshly baked cinnamon scrolls, sandwiches, slices... All really nice. And genuinely good coffee + smoothies and things. The bad reviews refer to the previous version, when it was terrible, but dont let them influence you today because it's completely different!!

   Excellent coffee here this morning. The cinnamon bun was prefect. The seating is inside the settlers museum , toitū, or on the deck. Recommended.

   Went to the Toitu Cafe for a coffee. Stopped by this cafe which is located near the entrance to the Toitu Otago Early Settlers Museum. Ordered a few coffees which costed $5.50 each. One of the worst coffees I've tasted. Milk was far too over steamed that it tastes burnt (in both coffees). The cappuccino had multiple tablespoons of cinnamon on top forming a thick layer. Reminds me of that viral spoon cinnamon eating challenge except dumped on my burnt coffee instead. Couldn't finish the drinks they were that bad. Food looked unappealing so I didn't order any. The pies were cold and on display which indicates that if you ordered them they will nuke them in the microwave and serve them. They did however have a free water area, I'd stick to this and save your money.

   Husbands extra hot latte was great but my mocha was made with syrup and was extremely sweet. Too much for me. Would go a long black on return.

   A good place for a coffee and/or a bite to eat while at the museum. Pleasant for meeting friends, parking is often easy near here.

   Kids love coming here. So do I. Had fun doing a Easter egg hunt this Weekend. Hard to find things to do for free now. Highly recommend.

   Told us the Belgium slice had come from the freezer and may need to defrost a bit. Cheesecake and friand served without yoghurt or cream so quite dry. I’m still waiting for my coffee, I’ll let you know when I get it.

   Good coffee, wonderful staff, amazing surroundings (Josephine!). Wish they did more (or any) gluten-free food though - the options for dietary restrictions seemed extremely limited. This used to be a branch of Ironic Cafe, but was taken over by the museum recently, and is now considered a branch of the Otago Museum Cafe. This upside of this is they now share the coffee loyalty cards from the Otago Museum Cafe, which is a nice touch.
