Their passionfruit cheesecake was unique and tasty as well. There's a lot of seating area and if you get lucky to sit upstairs in the window you have a very nice view. Also upstairs is an opportunity to see them making some of their products behind a glass window. Overall, their desserts are very tasty, and upstairs is unique, but I would not say it was the best desserts I have had. The server also seemed slightly annoyed when we asked for it to-go because she assumed we would be staying to eat. Still a very solid dessert place but I think because of their popularity makes the staff stressed and other customers rushing for you to hurry up.

On an early summers day, we couldn't even bear the thought of standing in the super long line of Patagonia in Queenstown. Luckily, our travels took us to arrow town that afternoon, and we were delighted to discover a Patagonia chocolates there! Steps away from the historic downtown and the riverfront, this is a perfect location to relax and enjoy the terrific ice cream without the lines! Can't wait to return on our next visit.

Stopped by this general store on a recent visit to Glenorchy to check out what sorts of stuff they…read morecarried. I was impressed with their selection - they had everything from hot food to groceries, to clothes, to postcards, and knickknacks. As a big aquarist, I had to get this cast iron bottle opener when I found it there. It's just so cute and it's really solid since it's cast iron. I ended up getting a hat too (not pictured) and it's also really nice. The staff were helpful and quite friendly, the only reason I'm docking a point is the prices are on the more expensive end.

We read so many good things about Mrs. Woolly's General Store, so of course we had to check it out…read moreand wow, what a gem! This place is part café, part gift shop, part secret garden, and 100% charm. On one side, you've got coffee, pastries, pizza, flatbreads, and sandwiches. On the other, shelves of handmade goodies you didn't know you needed until now. But the real magic happens outside: there's a cozy dining area tucked away on the left, complete with 90s music, free wifi, and a super clean bathroom (yes, that deserves a shout-out) We tried the boysenberry almond pie and hazelnut brownie, which were absolutely delicious, not too sweet, just right. And the pepperoni flatbread? Crispy, flavorful, and totally worth it. Prices are very reasonable, too. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger a bit longer, sip your coffee, hum along to the music, and just soak in the small-town charm. Definitely a gem worth stopping for! This is the only restaurant you should visit in the area (we tried two others and weren't good at all).

The staff was friendly and very patient going over every type of cheese as well. I loved the relatively large assortment of other goods they have for sale. Chutneys, jams, chocolates, and super cute soaps. Decently priced as well. Basically, stopping here after a wine tour is essential. Go on a tour, then stop here for a full glass of wine and a cheese board and enjoy the amazing views.

Spending a few days in Queenstown, we attempted to dine at some of the specialty, fancier dining…read morerestaurants, but quickly discovered either 1. most places were unexpectedly closed due to staffing shortages, or 2. they required a reservation. So, we decided let's repeat the previous night's pizza & beer takeaway, dining on the waterfront. Previously, we tried Winnie's; enjoying three small pizzas varieties, packed with NZ signature toppings. This evening, on our way back to Winnie's, we passed by HELL pizza & decided to peruse the menu. Creative, flavorful sounding pies, we decided to switch things up & dine in HELL the appeal was the enhanced toppings- a lot of pies were similar to the favorites we had at the other pizzeria, but there were a few more toppings on each comparable pie in HELL (and not just the Gluttony pie haha), plus the ability to be a Creator! Drool! So we ordered a Lust Deluxe snack-size thin pulled & a Creator (smoked salmon, calamari, mussels, mushrooms, onions, prawns, extra mussels, lemon pepper sauce) Oh, I am glad I don't live in HELL; mainly because I would be eating non-stop. The toppings were delicious-hearty chunks, well-seasoned, unique flavor combinations. The crust wasn't anything special, it had a light buttery flaky undercooked dough taste- wish it was a bit more oven charred crispy, but it held all the toppings well, without being too soggy, falling apart. Overall, would recommend!
