Ran up the mountain path to be greeted by this cute little cafe. It's pretty basic in its offering but does the trick. Service is a little depersonalised with the buzzer system and would be nicer if they were to give a number and wait on customers but like I said - basic and does the job.
It's really all about the expansive view up here!

Thought this would be touristy and therefore not necessarily motivated to be quality. However, I had the best cup of coffee in NZ in this place! The views are stunning, and this is an essential stop for your South Island roadie 👌✨

Must Visited cafe in NZ
Stunning view of how turquoise blue the lake could be and Lake Tekapo town from bird eyes view.
Cute hot chocolate in the sun during windy day.
We had a little hard time about opening hours and days but We glad we made it here and You will love it!

Astro Cafe is the perfect spot to start the day! Enjoying a cup of peppermint tea with that stunning view was simply magical. I can't recommend it enough

Nice warm coffee on a cold day , specially if you have hiked from the lake , a nice stop on top of the mountain with perfect photo 📸 opportunities.

A bit overrated. Coffee is average and pricy (large soy latte costs 9NZD) also need to pay $8 per car when accessing.

Came here for the photos and there was a queue mid way up, which we waited for 15 minutes on a weekday lunch hour.
View is absolutely stunning overlooking the to take photos overlooking Lake Tekapo.
Bench outside were available most of the time for pictures since it was too windy, we also climbed down (safe to do so) and the view is even better from there
Don't expect too much on food, it's average but not overpriced - but Astro did a great job in maintaining a nice space

The view is amazing so it’s definitely worth the trip up there! At the main entrance, they have a one car out one car in policy. So if it’s full, you will have to wait till a car exits before entering. You need to pay 8NZD to enter. I had their mocha and it’s the best so far. The mocha (L) is 7NZD. It closes at 3pm and last order for beverages is 2.45pm. I think for food, it’s earlier.
