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.

Amazing food and service. We went back several times in our short visit to Queenstown.read more

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.

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...!)
