Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Dunedin

“Had an awesome evening at Craft Bar & Kitchen! Enjoyed some great beers and a delicious dinner — the food was absolutely amazing. Special shout-out to Libby for her friendly service and making the experience even better. Highly recommend!”

“Great gig, good venue, felt real old school going upstairs at the Cook :)”

“I had a great dine-in experience here. The atmosphere was very good and the servers were very polite and helpful. Unfortunately I ordered a main gnocchi dish and got a spaghetti starter instead but i was hungry enough to not care or say anything. Regardless the pasta was delicious and the restaurant was also able to provide complimentary parmesan to accompany my meal. The portion size of the hot chips for a starter was big and great value. Thanks for the great hospitality!”

“My five stars that I've given are all for our server who was Harshit. Harshit was very helpful, friendly, prompt and made the dining experience very positive. I have to add how good the ambience was beautiful surroundings. My husband and I appreciated watching the birds as we looked out the window while dining. (Not all seagulls)”

“Went into this cafe and I was welcomed by a friendly face straight away. Quick service and the bene bagel and mocha were great. Nice music playing gives a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely will come back again.”

“Changing to 5 stars since I adore their custard squares and the customer service brilliant job guys well done!!”

“Great boozer, good service. Pokies don’t pay though”

“We had amazing cocktails and Alan was the absolute best! The space, yes it is small but its a cool hidden bar with great cocktail makers and a little outdoor area which is well done. Come before 10pm as the young crowd will almost seat on your lap ... but that has nothing to do with the service nor the delivery of the cocktails. Awesome! Cheers”

The service is consistently excellent; the baristas are friendly, efficient, and always ready to make a great recommendation if you want to try something new. The coffee and beverages are standard Starbucks quality, which means reliably delicious and the selection of food items is solid for a quick snack or light breakfast.

Highly recommended!”
