Black Lab Coffee Roasters Queenstown

*no takeout available*. Best coffee shop during our NZ trip! You can see their own roaster right in the shop. We tried three different beans in two days, all pour over. We really love the one with the pineapple note! Just beware that they don't do any takeout. So prepare to slow down and enjoy your coffee here!

Accidentally came across this quaint roaster in the middle of a local shop. Decided to try their coffee pour over Pititi. Strong aroma of peach and mango. It was absolutely juicy, ending with a tea-like note. Owner was also roasting beans in, which give a very strong confident of fresh beans. Would have bought the freshly roasted beans if the packaging is airtight with a one-way valve.

Solid coffee roaster that only offers dine in coffee, seemingly for a controlled experience and flavour profile. Ordered the flat white but it did came out to have too little milk for my liking - which makes the coffee slightly overpowering. That said, the coffee felt really clean, and it was the house blend beans if anyone is interesting to buy the beans. They do also have other variety of beans readily packed for purchase as well.

This coffee roastery may be a little off the beaten tourist track, but well worth the trip from Queenstown. Coffee is top notch, great flavours in the house blend, nicely presented with pleasant service

Best coffee I had in Queenstown :D ☕️ There are some different flavors of coffee beans available for purchase.

Best coffee and friendly owner. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet the dogs. My own speculation about the dogs, since a few weeks earlier, a crazy person, dog hater, and judging by her other reviews, generally unstable, interpreted some regulation to mean that dogs had no place in grocery stores. It's a real shame, because the dogs would have been a great addition to the scenery and a relaxing coffee.

Tried many of the single origins and house blend as a pour over and in milk drinks, all very nice and dialled in well. The barista kindly informed us of his brewing methods for each coffee. Hands down best cafe in Queenstown.

Black Lab Coffee Roasters feels like a pause button for the day. The air hums with roasted warmth, a quiet confidence in every corner. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk, and it arrived like a small miracle— foam soft as a cloud, coffee deep and steady, the oat milk lending a gentle sweetness that didn’t ask for attention, only appreciation. Each sip was balanced, calm, and intentional, as if the barista understood exactly what the morning needed. This isn’t just coffee; it’s craft with soul. Black Lab doesn’t shout—it listens, and then serves you something brilliant.
