Cafe coffee shop in New Zealand

At Meltingpot Papamoa, the menu stays Japanese‑leaning with tidy execution. Broths and noodles keep good heat and snap. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go.

“We went here for dinner tonight and the food was amazing, we especially loved the eye fillet, fried chicken and pork pieces! The hazy beer I had on tap was really nice too and the dessert was fantastic. Great service also, the staff were really lovely. Overall was one of the best restaurants I've been to in Dunedin, will definitely be back!”

“This is a special place to enjoy a delicious French-style galette. It's so high quality. They also have a good selection of pastries, so I recommend using them as a café. They have a wide range of menus, and I think you will enjoy any style.”

“My flat white (that tasted great) made it to the table the same time I sat down. Food was fresh, well made and tasted great. Clean, modern cafe. Will eat there again when we're out that way.”

“What a beautiful location! We had high tea - the food, all made in house, was divine. The hot scones, made freshly for us, were light and fluffy and served with delicious jam and fresh cream. The tea was lovely, with bottomless refills of the tea pot. And there is something peaceful about looking over the garden, watching ducks and chickens foraging whilst sparrows gather for crumbs. The service was also wonderful, friendly but professional. I would thoroughly recommend a visit! N.B. There is other food apart from a high tea, and it looked wonderful!”

“Sarah and her staff are very welcoming, personable and super friendly and helpful. They get to know their customers needs which is rare in some Cafes. The Chefs cook great tasting meals. The food is always delicious! Coffee, 5-Stars”

“Great espresso, very acidic but just the way I like it.”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“Super helpful staff member helped us get everything we needed and very nicely gift wrapped a gift for us.”

“Amazing service and quality always get a really good service I visit this place all the time 10 out of 10”

“Had a biscoff waffle and pumpkin pie latte. My son had apple cinnamon muffin. Lovely!!”

“This place has such a good vibe. The owner and staff are so warm and friendly and the food is sensational. I had the chilli scrambled eggs today and it was an AMAZING dish. Coffee always epic. A fave spot for sure.”

“First time here and will definitely be back as the food is nice and fresh and the staff are friendly. They also have a great selection of gluten free items. Love the wide open spaces, the seating, and the general vibe.”

“Coffee is wonderful. The team at Georgia really know their craft and deliver delicious espresso every time. We came here every day during our holiday”

“Lovely spot to stop on your drive up the coast. Fresh fruit & veg plus stellar coffee. The owner is wonderful too. 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”

“Awesome place to get your coffee on the run. We always make a quick stop when we close by.”

“Absolutely awesome. My egg cheeseburger was great and Dad got the snapper... He says it's tastier than the Loch Ness monster”

“Unreal brunch spot, chicken cheese melt reminds me of prime Fortnite days, simply perfection. Never been more of a brunch man than I am right now. Top stuff”

“This evening, a staff member went above and beyond for our family! I believe her name was Kaye, working in the click and collect department this evening. After my husband came home with our order, we realised we were missing a few things. I called up to explain and Kaye was so apologetic and helpful! So much so that she personally delivered our missing items to our home after her shift finished! Just incredible!”

“A wonderful dairy that has literally anything you could need or want. The people who run it are lovely and the chips are actually the best!!”

“Outstanding customer service, friendly, staff followed through with my complicated order. Then to our surprise we were overwhelmed with the attention to detail. I personally loved the micro greens and swirl of beetroot for presentation. All three of us gave five stars for the size and taste of our brunch. Coming from Christchurch for the short drive was well worth it. You won’t be disappointed!”

On the plate at Cinnamon, the idea is burger‑led and well judged. Ribs and steaks arrive seasoned and tender. Value feels fair for the quality. Takeaway travels well and holds its crunch. Cakes and sc...

“we had a problem with 2x products we purchased. .we returned them...not a problem..Rodgers and Wendy were the ones that helped us..we were offered a money back or a purchase another product..we go a product similar..thank you again for your fantastic service..which seem to be missing these days..thank you again”

El Cartel leans into a coffee‑and‑cabinet approach without the fuss. Value feels fair for the quality. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Serve sizes show solid value. Service stays presen...

“What a great find, one of those small local wineries that have really passionate staff and make you feel welcome. All the wines we tried we liked and we bought 6 bottles because they were all so good. Food was awesome too and they had some really great vegan options, the pizza was so good and the home made hummus to die for, which was a nice change. Highly recommend.”

“This cafe is all heart. I came as a recommendation and could not resist coming back. The food, the atmosphere and the service was just top drawer. I highly recommend Helen and her team as a core part of the Cafe culture here in Dunedin. I so wish they were in Wellington.”

“Just love Beachhouse Eatery. Food excellent. Just had Noodle Salad, new to the menu and a winner, staff are friendly and onto it, the view to die for and atmosphere so Orewa. My favourite eatery.”

“This bar is really great. Heineken is only NZ$6 if you drink that. Also possible the listen to your favourite song on the jukebox. Best bar in Auckland. Staff is amazing to”
