Perfect start to my first trip here with a strong vanilla latte and a mocha. They have wonderful…read moreoutdoor seating and inside seating. 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.

A friend recommended this place to me so on one of the mornings I got up to try it out. I came in…read morearound 7:30am and there were only a few other tables occupied. I ordered my go-to breakfast item, which is their Vudu Benedict ($30NZD), along with a cup of their Housemade Lemon Honey Ginger ($6). You order at their counter in the middle of the shop, and then they give you a number to take to your table. The tea came out pretty quickly, and the benedict followed maybe about 10 minutes after. The benedict was good, and while there was only 1 egg, the whole thing stuffed me for hours afterwards. The bread at the bottom was definitely the most filling part, and I was struggling to finish it all. They had a glass display with various bakery items, and they looked so good I was so tempted to get something even though I was stuffed from the benedict. If I ever come back to Queenstown I would definitely be coming back here to try some of those bakery items.

Freshly baked-a warm date lemon powdered sugar dusted scone-ready to go. Outside, crispy, flaky crunch, then inside a moist, dense, rich flavor. Hearty ample chunks of dates, with a light lemon zest. Absolutely delicious. Had I not grabbed the scone to go on our way to the airport, I would have definitely returned to The Exchange to try out more eats- highly recommend.

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.

This place is originally a Melbourne based shop, but good to see they are expanding to Queenstown. Prices are moderate to expensive and they have a ton of samples inside.

There are only two with one out of order, with the code given! I see many people struggling to get the door open and the handle was flimsy, too! I see one of their baristas always needing to help the customers open the door to their bathroom! She was not happy about that either! All in all, the inside is spacious enough with the quick turnaround of customers.

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...!)
