We ended up coming here for breakfast one day, lunch another, and pre-dinner snacks another. My favorite thing I ordered here was the veggie stack for brunch/breakfast. They serve brekkie here until 11:30am and their poached eggs are where it is at! Their baked goods are also fresh, dense, and worth every cent. They change up their specialty scones daily at the front pastry container at the cashier. My favorite was the cheese scone - I had two of these in one day! When it's good, it's good! My friend enjoyed the fruit muesli baked slice as well as her ham and egg benedict. They have clean restrooms in the back, free WiFi, and a patio for smokers in the back as well. Service was good and free water is available with glasses in the cooler. I can't say enough about this place - what a great!

I appreciated that the salad had just the right balance of cheese and nuts added. Mushroom fettucini was delicious as well.

He ordered the chicken wrap and I ordered the ciabatta with cream cheese and marmalade. It came with three pieces of fresh bread grazed with a lemony sweet marmalade and delicious cream cheese. I separated the bacon because the combination was weird to me but I ate it after and it was a nice finish. Overall, a very satisfying meal. The chicken wrap was flavorful and hot, a tad bit greasy/drippy but overall satisfying. We also ordered some english breakfast tea and a flat white which came with a small taste of chocolate fudge. Our total was $27 which was fair in comparison to some of the other few options in town. I'm glad we looked around and settled on this spot. They also have a lot of knick knacks and variety of things to browse from lotions and bug repellents to books and jewelry. I would recommend a visit.

They put real cherries and cream on top. The serving sizes are definitely generous.

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.
