Lovely place and kind staff! We ordered some drinks and foods there after hiking around Lake Matheson and it was simply amazing! We had Flat Whites alongside with the Lemon Raspberry muffin and the Venison burgers and everything was really good! I recommend the Venison Burger just because it was simply delicious! The view onto Mt Cook is stunning and all in all the place is lovely!

The cafe was highly recommended by our fox glacier guide! We went there after our fox glacier hike. We were starving! And wow, what a good recommendation by our guide! Cafe has a majestic view. The gift shop is very cute and the items they have there are very unique.! Food was sooo yummy! We love it. After the meal, you can even go for a trek nearby.

Amazing cafe with a view to match! Perfect spot for breakfast which you can then follow the walking track to take in the rainforest environment and take in some incredible views of Mt Cook. The gift shop has a nice variety of wares too - you will definitely find something tasteful to bring home as memorabilia. Also - you may recognise some staff here who work in town too! Nice to say hi and hi again to friendly faces.

Not whole lot of food options. But what we had was good. A fruit and nut bake. Coffee was a little strong. We got two flat whites. Not as smooth as the ones I have had in NZ It was really nice to get the view of the glacier from their outside seating.

It was a lucky visit after the unlucky cancelation of the helicopter Franz Josef Glacier trip due to the bad weather. There is a great hiking path around the lake. Great location, kind staff, and tasty coffee.

Must stop here before heading to Lake Matheson. The soup is really good here and we had the poke bowl, which was also fantastic! Beef is well grilled! The view here is nice too!

Had a great lunch, both the poke bowl beef and the jalepeno bagel were very tasty!! It is affordable. Portion size is good, nice staff and the view is great!

Amazing cafe with beautiful view. It's about 10mins drive from Fox Glacier village. Staff is very friendly. The food and coffee was amazing as well.
