This family-run café offers warm, homey hospitality and hearty comfort food — pies, cheese rolls, baked potatoes, cakes and vegetarian options — making it a popular stop for locals and travelers.

What Jessica Mead dislikes about Catlins Cafe:
The coffee was terrible. It seems the cafe has changed ownership since our last visit, and it was quite disappointing. The coffee tasted like dirt, was excessively hot, and overpriced. Service: Takeout. Meal type: Other. Price per person: NZ$1–10. View all feedback.
A great place to stop for a meal, a snack or a drink. Good food and service
The very accommodating proprietor opened the cafe on a very cold rainy windy day and lit the fire especially for our group of families to sit inside and be warm and enjoy the wonderful food. Thank you very much
We've been exploring the South Island for a while now, and I can confidently say that this is the best breakfast we've had! The staff is hilarious and even treated us to some complimentary cake. Plus, they're all quite good-looking! As someone from England, I'm not used to having steak for breakfast, but I had it here and I couldn't be happier. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, especially since we're sitting by the fire. Caitlin's Cafe really is a winner!
