Peruse the multitude of merch and coffee bean bags before making your way to the cash register. They feature an old school drum roaster in the cramped cafe area which pumps out their small batch brews of single origin beans and specialty blends. Order and select your bean type for your espresso to allow for the ultimate customization in your morning cuppa. They always recommend their seasonal blend (my choice) though a decaf and single-origin are on deck as well. A flat white with the Seasonal Blend was truly dark chocolatey, biscuity, and lemony in character with the essence of blueberry aroma. Espresso they specialize in though a specialty latte drink was available along with black coffee and a batch brew. Obviously, I took some beans for take away (the Seasonal Blend), the 200g at 20 NZD a little pricey, but very much worth the price!

It happened to be a lovely, dark latte boasting nutty flavors. It was exceptionally strong and not a tad bitter; in fact, I barely tasted the milk. I almost thought I was eating dark chocolate! The lady that works here was extremely welcoming, informative, and efficient with orders. Though they don't have Wi-Fi, it's a lovely spot to catch a quick morning caffeine boost or afternoon pick me up. Highly recommend stopping by if you're a coffee connoisseur. Done enjoying your drink? There's a water fountain, too, for a quick palate cleanser! (Or to be used to enjoy a second drink...!)

If you're a fan of Mackenzie Coffee, stop by at one of its two cafes in New Zealand!…read more This cafe is along Cow Lane, near Beach Road. It's a small, but spacious cafe that might be more suitable to go, but there are counter seating along the side and window. The big, open window is a nice touch, and a nice place to sit and relax with a cup of warm coffee while watching the world go by. The Flat White was good. Clean, solid, milky flavor. The Long Macchiato was good too. Strong and creamy. Don't skip on the food as the Bacon Jalapeno Scone was very good! Soft and tender inside with a crispy and crumbly crust. The savory bacon and spicy jalapeno were subtle, and didn't overpower the scone. The Pesto, Mozzarella, Tomato, and Red Onion toastie was good. It was a light, simple sandwich with more so the sour note from the tomato with a touch of savory from the pesto and mozzarella. Overall, a nice, cozy, quiet cafe with solid Mackenzie Coffee and a nice variety of cafe food that was delicious. The service was good. Barista was friendly and makes a good cup of coffee. A nice place to stop by while walking around Queenstown!

We were seated fast and ordered 2 coffees and pancakes with a pastry. My biggest standout were the pancakes, I'm a simple guy who likes my pancakes and they were oh so fluffy, chewy, dense and honestly that filled me up surprisingly a lot because I wasn't expecting them to be so big. They put real cherries and cream on top. The serving sizes are definitely generous. I recommend them for their breakfast and coffee, especially for the central location, great view and seating areas.
