Flaky, light, buttery, and not dense at all...I'd happily come back every morning for the scones alone. In addition to the scones, all the other drinks and dishes here are fantastic. Each dish is served using fresh and locally sourced NZ ingredients, and they make for the perfect wholesome meal to start your day. Having had a few long days of travel, I also opted to try their hot honey ginger lemon drink, which packed a spicy gingery kick and made me feel 100% again. Great drink if you're feeling even slightly off.

Oh. my. goodness. Florence's is the best kept secret in all of Wanaka. This is a hidden gem and I…read moream so, so, so glad we discovered it! Myself and two friends were in Wanaka for the night staying at a nearby yurt. We stopped by That Wanaka Tree the next morning and decided to try to find breakfast on our way out of town (we were on a Camper Van adventure around the South Island). As always, Yelp led us to this magical paradise that is Florence's Foodstore & Cafe! So unassuming from the outside - particularly in the winter months - but once I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with this warm, homey feeling, among both a foodstore and cafe, that is not easy to do! I should note, it looks like the patio space would be quite a hit in the summer months. I was so taken aback by the delectable dishes in the display case and the assortment of teas, jams, mustards, etc. etc. around the store I almost missed the fact there is plenty of seating and even a fireplace to enjoy your meal(s) at!!! Once we took a second to collect ourselves from all the excitement, we ordered at the counter and had a seat at the table nearest the fireplace. I ordered the eggs benedict with salmon (eggs smoked salmon: sourdough toast, hollandaise) and a coffee (flat white, I'm sure). But, quite frankly, I wanted one of everything on the menu! What I ordered was simply melt in my mouth delicious and was delivered in a timely manner. Everything was SO good, we all ended up ordering something else to go (take away), for lunch later in the day. I ordered this amazing chicken salad on a croissant and a hot chocolate and even got my mom's souvenir from the foodstore portion of Florence's. If the foodstore wasn't great and if the cafe wasn't out of this world, then you must meet Florence for she is the true highlight of the place! Florence was so, so lovely - she ended up giving us suggestions for the remainder of our time on the South Island, much of which we followed and I'm glad we did as it made our journey that much more scenic. Florence - I cannot thank you enough! If you're in the Wanaka area, be sure to check out this place. They even host a high tea and community dinners throughout the month. Florence's is surely the place to be!!!

I placed my order and stepped away, my husband paid and a # was placed in front of him which he brought to our table. After a bit we were brought two cups of coffee when only one was ordered, the wait person was confused and walked away. We waited for the soda to be brought but after a wait we decided to go ask. My husband was treated rudely and was told that "he" took the wrong number and messed everything up! Although we are just passing through we would not come here again and would not recommend this place, there are far too many other eateries to choose from that will offer better service than Florence's. ~ Mona

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.

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.

The pie was delicious! I had an excellent latte and shared a Louisa bar. The bar was a delicious combination of a buttery crust, raspberry filling and a macaroon like coconut topping.
