Delicious flat whites and iced Americano served here. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was bustling around. It was a good spot to sit in for a coffee whilst shopping around the Dunedin Central area.

We had the spicy chicken, special baguettes and eggs bene with salmon and it was all so fresh and delicious. The flat white and hot choc was rich, full and hit the spot! Highly recommend Kiki Beware on George Street

They have the best iced blended mocha in town and nothing can ever beat it. It is large enough to share with a friend. Sandwiches, poutine /chicken and chips are our go-to and can’t go wrong. Recommend this place to anyone from any age group.

Staff were friendly & answered our questions patiently. Coffee was delightful! We loved it, both the espresso & the milk were of great quality. Personally I loved my Mexican Iced Coffee — it was unique & delicious. Would recommend this place! It’s decently affordable too.

Such a lovely wee cafe! Cheap coffee compared to other cafes in the city and the baguettes were fresh and tasty. Great to have some vegan/vegetarian options - highly recommend the tofu boy! Will definitely be coming back!
