The combination of 654 reviews and a 4.4 out of 5 average gives the listing a substantial record among Dunedin cafés.
South Island's temperate climate means summer, from December to February, draws the most visitors, while winter remains mild at low altitudes. New Zealand cooking leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, and Dunedin sits within reach of those producers. Domestic flights and ferries connect the islands, and English and Māori are the main languages spoken. Reaching Dunedin from Queenstown, Christchurch or Nelson is straightforward by road or domestic flight, which makes the café a practical stop for travellers moving through the lower South Island.
