Cafe in Dunedin

“Took my moko there. Love the ambience and enjoyed the movie. Although when purchasing tickets, would be good if we could see how long the movie is. I wasn't expecting Jurassic Park to be so long.”

“What a terrific Saturday afternoon. The sun is shining and shining bright on my new favourite little cafe on the harbour. The service was truly impeccable and certainly was welcoming.

I am truly grateful for an incredible experience that I will reflect on with joy.”

Was a neat tidy unit, heater was on when we got there which was nice......we were late with our arrival and they couldn't have been more understanding. Rural location, really quiet, no light coming into room at night and pet friendly!! Cutest receptionist ever, thank you Mr Darcy. Would happily go back and recommend.”

“Coffee & Food --- both 10 out of 10. Coffee is not only delicious, it is also well presented(golden cream color & shape well drawn). I had toast sandwich today with up to 3 fillings only cost me $8! So delicious & great value for money. Let alone eating inside the most beautiful building of Dunedin so much like some of the arty buildings in lower Manhattan New York city. Love this place & will become my regular cafe now”

“My Beautiful Daughter bought me here for Father’s Day (Sat). Never been here before one of the best mouse traps I’ve ever eaten and I eat a few but a stunning gourmet pie (Corned Beef) and I hope when you visit it’s still only eight dollars unbelievable value. Mosgiel it’s lucky to have such quality food in a cafe. DJ”

“Fabulous coffee and food! Highly recommend the filter coffee, check what’s on offer each day as it changes, I had a very nice single origin Ethiopian. Espresso also great. And, very tasty food, we had breakfast 3 days in a row and can recommend the granola, also had poached eggs and bacon with a house made rosti in place of bread to make it gluten free (gf bread also an option). Staff are super helpful and friendly :)”

“A beautiful plant nursery and garden center with an on-site coffee shop – perfect for a visit any time of the day. They offer a great selection of rare and exotic plants alongside a wide range of garden tools and outdoor décor. The layout is spacious, with ample parking and easy access, making it a stress-free stop. Just across the parking lot, there’s a large pet store with plenty to explore. A wonderful destination for gardeners, plant lovers, and families alike.”

“What a find! We wondered why it was so busy on a Monday night, until we got our meals. This is pub food at its best. Great food, beautifully cooked and reasonably priced. My blue cod had crispy batter, with moist, generous fillets inside. Couldn't fault it. If you're in Dunedin and want food like it used to be, try the Concord Inn.”

“PRECINCT cafe at Otago Museum is my regular place to catch up with colleagues and friends over coffee. Today, I had jasmine lime tea, which was incredibly refreshing and organic, instead of a tea bag. I love their gluten-free carrot cake. The staff were attentive and friendly as usual and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Overall, Precinct Café offers an exceptional dining/coffee experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Dunedin.”

“Great vibes!! Super cute little bar. Drinks were delicious and fries were *chef's kiss* - will 100% be back. Also really liked that the cocktails were vegan (i.e. aquafaba instead of egg white).”
