“These guys know how to get repeat business. They do everything right (in my book), and completely worthy of their high rating. Their service is impeccable. The location is handy, in the Central Parade block of shops just down from New World and Z petrol station. Easy drive in, most the time grabbing a park close by or out the front. They have a great menu covering all your kiwi fish n chip classics, burgers and Chinese selections we’ve come to expect in NZ. Their online ordering system is super quick and easy to use. Added bonus, a 10% discount coupon for online orders over $15 ✅ Even if you don’t order online, you won’t be waiting long. Did I mention they do coffee too? And free wifi (NZ establishments are mostly slow on that one). Our favourites for Friday night takeaways; Gurnard or Terakihi which comes in a light batter with a hint of lemon and herb salt. Always fresh. Good chunky chips, a cheeky hot dog and spring roll always go down a treat. Their Nasi Goreng is the best Ive had in NZ, and their wonton or dumpling noodle soup too. Its 5-stars all the way from me. I recommend Central coast takeaway to anybody who asks which is what spurred me to write a review. Credit where credit is due as Nan always said, and these guys deserve the credit… best takeaways in the Bay!”

“Best coffee around and Caleb is super friendly!”

“What a fabulous place to meet up with friends. Set on the edge of Coronation park, it's away from the hustle and bustle, but close to the main shopping street, and Pilot bay. The treats on offer are devine, but my favorite is the cheesy savory scone. (They do celebration cakes too) Excellent coffee and the lemon ginger tea is delicious. The staff are awesome and look after our sizable group with ease, and nothing is too much trouble.”

“Thank you for your lovely customer service, delicious coffee and chill atmosphere”

“- Welcoming and patient staff. It was our first time and the lady waited until we made up our minds. - Halloumi cheese sandwich. It was fresh and the sauce on top wasn´t spicy whatsoever. Good option to share. - Granola bowl. Surprised me a lot because because it was a huge portion (of granola). However, it came with just a tiny cup of yougurt, some milk, banana and strawberry jam. In my opinion, the should add an extra portion of yogurt. - 1 restroom available. - Great atmosphere. Good place to read. - Outdor tables are available.”

“One of my favourite cafes in Dunedin, great homemade food at a great price and friendly service”

“Lovely place serves tasty food! Definitely will come back. I love all the decorations are so delicate and exquisite. Every things place together like a museum.”

“My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at EBB Dunedin. We loved the unique design of the building and the beautifully styled interiors — the room was thoughtfully furnished and very comfortable. The overall atmosphere is modern yet warm, and everything felt high quality and well considered. The service was welcoming and professional, making the stay even more pleasant. We had a very comfortable experience and would happily recommend EBB Dunedin.”

“Found our way here with a random stop while checking out the local area. Grabbed coffee and googled the reviews. Decided to try food, very reasonable prices compared to cafs in the city but there was no compromise on quality. Wicked stoked we came here, this place is awesome. Ginger slice was good but tan slice was the better. Thanks heaps.”

“Great range of products really focused on your much loved pet at Great prices. Awesome staff very knowledgeable and keen to help. Highly recommend”

“Russian bakery!! Honey cake is blowing my mind…. Light and not as sweet as I thought… Pistachio cake is the one you have to try!! It’s basically dacquoise with crunchy pistachios instead of almond, cream filling.… I have tried chicken liver pie, it also delicious. Nice combination with liver and veg, well seasoned. In general everything is above my expectations. I will definitely come back soon for other choices of pie!!”

“Great local. Good coffee and vibe. Excellent service and so dog friendly”

“Twas the first time experiencing this shore. I went to their Mt Albert shop today. I told the 2 ladies who helped me that I'm from up north and they told me where I could possibly buy my goods in my home town. They even gave me a shop address for me to go and look even though it wasn't 1 of their branches. I have to say it just made them look really good. They obviously know the law of karma. When I'm down in Auckland I will still definitely call into 1 of their 2 branches. They even went and found a box and newspaper for my trip to keep them chilled and frozen and taped the box up for me. In my experience that's a very rare thing for them to go that far. 5 ⭐'s are clearly not enough for their service with me today.”

“I visited Goodness cafe several times with my family, and each experience has been consistently delightful. It is a quite friendly spot that offers a peaceful escape from the weekend rush. The food is always fresh and delicious._definitely top-notch for the price. What truly sets it apart is the cheerful, well trained staff who provide prompt service with a warm smile. It's become one of our favourite go_to places for a relaxing break.”
