Tuppence Cafe - Dunedin

Great spot, amazing coffee and food. The “bedside manner” could be improved however. No Wifi. Pretty expected these days especially in a town with many international travellers. No indoor seating on an extremely windy Tuesday afternoon.

Excellent food at great prices. Will go out of my way to eat here again. No indoor seating, just simple benches outside, so best for grab and go (along the Peninsula or to a nearby beach)

Truely delicious bacon egg spinach sandwich 5 star all day

I have not been to tuppence before but my mother suggested we go there together today for lunch, as she has been herself multiple times. When we arrived, the cafe was currently operating at half capacity due to staff shortages. That is no problem, but what was below standard was the service and the lack of greeting. Staff (a young woman) did not greet us hello and when I looked down into the closed part of the cafe all she said was “that part is closed, we don’t have enough staff to service it”. Understandably, staffing shortages happen, but the approach was unprofessional. There was no greeting, no care in the explanation or effort made to look after us as customers. We walked in, and walked back out again. Do not recommend.

Great service food. Curtains or shades needed on windows to deal with winter sun.
