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.

Service was very friendly but it took awhile longer than expected to get our simple order of soup and nachos. Coffee was good. Soup wasn't bad according to the wife.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, you really can't go wrong here. We opted for dinner and needed a reservation as it is a popular place in town. It was the perfect choice to see the sunset over the glacier. If staying in town for the night, this is the way to go. Food was just as good as the locals said it would be. Service was quick and our server was very attentive and checked in with us often. Everything here was fantastic. The only thing (not the cafe's fault) is the bugs around sunset and once the sun goes down are very annoying. After sunset, we along with the other guests at nearby tables all requested to move inside to enjoy the rest of our meal. They were use to this request and able to accommodate all of us right away.
