Description

Perched in Bluff near the Stewart Island ferry, this quirky café-gallery pairs brilliant coffee and hearty breakfasts with an inviting, artsy atmosphere. Fresh ingredients and friendly, welcoming staff make it a favorite for travelers, families and art lovers; comfy chairs and a large adjoining gallery filled with local work add character. Service can slow on busy days and prices skew toward premium, but the unique, cozy experience and Wi-Fi make it well worth a stop.

The food was decent quality but pricy and extremely slow we were told that it would be 30 minutes but it was over an hour to receive fairly simple food.The gallery, however, was wonderful a huge variety of art on display and there's a large back room with more to view or buy. The gallery is definitely worth a look.
