"Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Should have got a second be as suggested by the waitress. Great food. Definitely a return visit next time I’m in Dunedin. Also, the stairs! Amazing construction."

"Friendly staff and great service!
The food is delish! We ordered “Works” and Breakfast stack with Home-smoked salmon. It was really well-portioned too! Will try their pizzas next time! 🤭"

Mhyedaz

"I had the stacked poached eggs with roasted tomato's and mushrooms. Dee-double-licious, as my mother would say. Decaf cappuccino, also d-double. I can readily recommend this place. The whole place is artsy. The upstairs comfy and well lit."

We think most Dunedinites will agree when we say The Vogel Street Kitchen (76 Vogel Street) is the best place for brunch in Dunedin. We could give you so many others but we couldn’t go past Vogel Street being the absolute first place on our list. Located right in the heart of Dunedin’s re-vitalised warehouse precinct district, this café is a great place to stop while taking a tour of Dunedin’s street art.

The Victorian red-brick has been restored and turned into a stylish Sydney-esque eatery, which uses locally free-farmed pork, chicken and eggs. A wood-fired pizza oven turns out sandwiches and pizzas for lunch and an all-day brunch menu features favourites like granola, waffles, stacks and warming soups.
