Really nice cosy shop with good service. Me and my partner have lived here for 5 years and tried almost all the cafes in Dunedin- but this place is our local regular for coffee :)

An amazing place to get your coffee. It was deliciously home roasted, with a lovely interested lady taking the order and a nice roadside spot to enjoy the coffee. Sadly the beans you are able to purchase you are not able to be made your coffee with

Nice coffee and place. Sitting by the street with a cup of latte, watching the world go by. The pace is slow, not much noise, just the occasional footsteps, a distant hum of life.

Honestly a 10/10 for me. Got a flat white with soy milk and it was perfect. Pretty hard to come by a place that can do alternative milks the same as normal milk. Espresso was tasty. Service was great too, baristas super friendly. Can’t complain at all!
