We took a bathroom break but ended up staying for a flat white and the view! It is a quiet cafe with a goat in the back, super cute but be careful of putting your finger in the fence to pet him, he sticks his head out to get grass on the other side and will bite anything in sight. Also tip: if you order take away it is a $0.50 NZD charge for takeaway cup even if you bring your own, plus the wood cabin dining room is so nice so take a load off and enjoy the stop.

Best cafe in Tekapo…read more We stopped by for breakfast all 3 days we were in the area and our flat whites (one regular, one with soy) were consistently great. The muffin flavor rotates daily. We tried the banana caramel, chocolate and Nutella flavors and all were delicious (& not too sweet). The berry French toast is also delicious. We also tried the curried chicken wrap which was tasty, and minced meat pie which was decent. Service is great and staff is friendly. You are given a number if you decide to eat-in and the drinks are brought timely. The food may take awhile, but it's fine since you can sip on your drink in the meantime. Communal tables available with a fair amount of seating. Cute vibe. Lots of parking. Definitely our favorite spot.

Can only order from the cases after that. Vegetarian Greedy Breakfast: so good!! Love the spinach, mushroom, tofu for this! The beans are super yum! Turkish eggs: loveee the sundried tomato spread on toast with the poached eggs and yogurt. Incredible combo. Creamy Mushroom Risotto: wow wow. The miso makes this dish. So much flavor yet still light. Love the edamame too! Hello Me Toast: this is more of a snack but still good! Sausage Roll: one of the best we had!

It wasn't very busy but I was intrigued by the fabulous collection of china cups and other pieces. My lunch was fine (poached eggs, salad and cheese) but the atmosphere wins the day.

It was more of an undone type of avocado toast with seasonings, poached eggs, tomatoes, and some sort of tangy butter or aioli, I'm not sure. It was just so pleasing to the eye and tasty! I did have much more avocado left, so I wished it had a bit more bread but it was still a good amount of food. I would recommend, it seemed to be a busy place with a few tables inside and some outside seating. Also a great spot on regent street next to other shops.

This is a great, small cafe that specializes in all things coffee, but also pumps out some pretty amazing cafe dishes as well. I'm pointing at you, Bacon and Egg Brioche. I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to pair with my flat white because their menu items sound just as appetizing as their case items look. The menu is small, which helps you make the decision quickly, but I can promise that no matter what you order, you won't be disappointed. Seating is limited so I wouldn't bring a group of friends (5 tables) but it's great for a coffee date or for takeaway.
