The moment you step inside this cozy coffee haven, you are greeted by the friendly barista, whose passion for coffee and genuine care for customers adds a personal touch that’s often missing from larger chains.

Located just slightly off the Main Street, got a great cup of coffee from the warm and welcoming lady that runs the store. Been here twice on my visit to Queenstown already. Would recommend a visit

My family & I stopped to grab coffees on our way out to Cromwell this morning and I just wanted to say wow! The service was incredible, the barista lady that served us was chatty, polite & can I just add she made the best coffee! Makes such a difference especially when on holiday, thank you a million! :)

Ordered small flat white to go. The lady was nice and asked if i wanted to keep my receipt. It’s not often for store staff to ask that.

We went here after a terrible coffee from drop. You saved our morning. We thought it would be fairly strong considering the sign says all double shots, but the coffee was fairly weak. But still nice
