Cafés and bakeries in Queenstown: about this list

Queenstown’s cafés offer a selection of expertly crafted coffee, drinks, beautifully presented cabinet food and light meals. In winter, cafes offer a cosy respite from the cold, while summer lets you dine al fresco in sun drenched courtyards, or at beachfront haunts. Pack a picnic basket with treats from a local bakery, grab an award winning pie to fuel up for the day’s adventure, or just take a break from shopping and sightseeing.

Every café, bakery and dessert shop featured here is listed in Destination Queenstown's Eat & Drink directory. They are spread across Frankton, Queenstown, Arrowtown, Gibbston and Glenorchy. Opening hours are shown where the operator has recorded them in a form we can read with confidence; where they are not, check with the café before you go.
