What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Maggies offers a unique and eclectic atmosphere with a focus on quality coffee and a fun arcade element. While many praise the coffee, unique ambiance, and breakfast fare, some diners have noted inconsistent service and issues with lunch menu items. It's a spot with a lot of personality, but service can be hit or miss.
"Such a cool cafe! Loved the artistic approach and can visualise how awesome it would be to have an event there. I only got a cappuccino as I was exploring more of the city but it was a great cappuccino at that! Highly recommend coming to Maggie’s for your next cup of coffee!"
Jade Fitzpatrick
"Contemporary design, excellent location, friendly staff, highly recommend for your chilled breakie time while you visit Dunedin.
Reasonable price, nice and easy breakfast selection menu and the display cabinet.
Veru luxurious large dining space to a cafe so you get to choose your preferred corner to have your "ME time".
Love it!"

"Really good food and nice and interesting interior.
Very sad and disappointed by the staff, not friendly or smiling, or a basic good morning/ hello. Needed to request to clean our table as nobody came to remove the previous dishes.
Waited long time for food and served our plates to another big table who arrived and ordered way longer after us.
Little things could change a lot for a little moment.
Don’t go there for a good service"
