Bespoke Kitchen

One of the best cafes around in Queenstown. We visited twice and every dish on the menu that we’ve tried has been fantastic. Major thumbs up to the vegan Melba pancakes, they were absolutely delicious and one of the best vegan pancakes that I’ve tried, texture was soft, fluffy, and not at all mushy. The vegan Benedict was also very interesting, the crispy tofu and potato hash was a standout. On top of that, all the staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming, from taking our orders to serving up the food. We will definitely be back!

I don't understand the hype about this cafe. The atmosphere is trendy, but the food is average. Although the eggs Benedict were okay, the pancakes were not tasty at all and the flat white was served without any milk foam.

Absolutely delicious brunch!! A bit crowded and hectic to find a table but worth the wait. Everything was insanely fresh and the service was perfect.

This is a very cool place to eat. All the food looked amazing as it came out. You can't go wrong eating here.

Having dined here on a previous trip to QT, I made sure to dine here again on my recent business trip @RomanticGesturesNZ. I absolutely loved my choice, and the green smoothie I took away was thoroughly enjoyed later that morning. Thank you so much kitchen team, it was so delish. See you next time.

A straight 10. Def the best brunch in Queenstown! We had the chili fried egg w roti which is so on point😌foods are amazing and the staff are rly friendly! Highly recommend the food from their cabinet. The chia pot is the best chia pudding I’ve ever had in NZ! Words can’t express how much I love Bespoke!!!!

Best brunch and coffee we had in Queenstown. Be warned this place is quite busy though. It can be hard to find a table and service might slow down. Worth the wait though

I initially enjoyed my experience at this restaurant—the food was great, and service seemed fine—until an uncomfortable encounter ruined it. Shortly after finishing my meal (I was there for less than 30 minutes), what I assume was the owner came to my table and asked if I wanted anything else. Before I could fully respond, he followed up with, “Help me out then, as people need this table.” The problem? No one was waiting. No line, no crowd, and plenty of other guests had been there longer than I had. I eat fast and like to take a moment to digest, but for some reason, I was singled out. Maybe it was because I had my laptop open, though I noticed at least two others doing the same. Maybe he just didn’t like me. Maybe it was something else entirely. I’ll never know—but I do know that I hated the way I felt in that moment, and I won’t be coming back. Good food, but not worth the discomfort.

The chicken sandwich is amazing which is what earned the 5 star. The other dish was good but lacked a little bit of meat. Service was good. Seating is plentiful but it is quite busy during rush hour. You order first and get a number to sit down after.

Easily one of the best breakfast spots I've EVER been to. Super fresh, tasty, healthy food with beautiful fine dining presentation. Can definitely attest to the vegan Benedict, smashed avocado toast w/ poached egg, vegan pancakes, cocoa hemp smoothie, and immunity juice. A MUST VISIT while in Queenstown.

A very esthetic little cafe with delicious bakery items and vast selections. They have delicious bakery items and sandwiches with beautiful presentation. I ordered a mocha and my cousin a flat white and they were both delicious. I ordered one of the daily specials which was a potato cake that a little too crispy for my liking, but overall it was good. The halloumi, pesto and egg sandwich was to die for! I want to recreate that at home since I am not local to NZ. I enjoyed this cafe and the vibes that came along with it. Great views too!

Brekkie spot that is convenient to eat at prior to a gondola ride. It gets busy with locals and tourists but the food is worth the wait. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Outside seating has bigger tables and some lovely foliage. The flat white was well made and I would highly recommend the breakfast special.

Had a wonderful breakfast, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Staff was very helpful with calling us a taxi to allow us to get to the airport after enjoying our meal. Would definitely go again

Great variety of healthy options after hiking and traveling. Similar style to California brunches. The portions are very filling. Muffins are a must

Food and service was pretty good. But they ruined it be adding a "additional profit" surcharge of 15% at checkout above the posted prices. This reminds me of the resort charges hotels charge on checkout.. Just a reminder to me never to come back.

Fresh, delicious, and hearty breakfast options abound at Bespoke Kitchen. They also offer a fair amount of healthy food options too. Despite being quite busy on a Monday morning, the staff were all energetic, helpful and friendly. $21 Bacon Eggs Benedict on Ciabatta...A nice solid heavy breakfast to get the day started, albeit a bit pricey, though thats the norm for Queenstown. $24 housemade beetroot cured salmon...this was a wild and unique take on smoked salmon, but it was creative and delicious! Also comes with healthy avocado & pea spread, rye toast, ricotta, citrus salad, charcoal seed bark. A pricey but excellent breakfast $5 Parmesan and chive scone...rich, buttery, and filling! This is surprisingly dense and enough to fill you for several hours. Bespoke is also conveniently located near the Gondola and Kiwi Bird Life Park; a perfect place to start our day.

Very extensive good looking menu but taste and execution didn't meet the hipster standards we were expecting. The eggs Benedict were nothing to write home about. The pancakes were very dense and not fluffy, undercooked and dry. At least they were kind enough to refund. The drinks were all decent and the double cooked fries were good. They also kept having issues delivering the wrong food and drink orders to our table and insisting it was our order. Turns out, they had handed out our number twice..

Very lovely place, friendly staff and quick service even though there are lots of customers at the moment. I found my order (eggs benedict with bacon and a side of mushrooms, berry good drink) with $35 rather pricy though, especially as I found pieces of eggshell in my food. Otherwise very delicious food and so instagramable ;)

There's a reason that Bespoke Kitchen won both the Best Urban and the Supreme Winner Cafe of the Year of New Zealand...they do an incredible job at providing delicious, beautiful and healthy food in a very cozy, bright and modern atmosphere. During our 5 days in Queenstown, this was our daily spot for breakfast/brunch. Stellar customer service with friendly staff, and not to mention those views of The Remarkables in the background! Hands down our favorite was the Breakfast Board! Perfectly savory Avocado Toast, a bowl of Muesli with yogurt and fruit, and fresh squeezed orange juice, all displayed beautifully on a wooden board. It was perfect for sharing between 2 people. Coffee is on point here as well, and our daily Flat Whites were strong, smooth, creamy, and the perfect kickstart to our mornings! I also loved their cold-pressed juices, especially the Daily Greens. Don't forget to check out all of the amazing salads, sandwiches, desserts, and baked goods in the display case and on the counter (you can't miss it!). You may have to practice some serious self control to keep yourself from buying one of everything there!

We ordered the Days Special - a pumpkin, quinoa curry. Simply fantastic ! Perfect curry. Very spicy, but real hot-spicy like many places do. Flavorful spicy. Creamy and the flavors attack the taste buds. It was advertised as a vegan dish and ingredients suggest it would be very healthy and tasty. It was perfectly executed. I would definitely recommend their yellow curry, especially the vegan/quinoa version.

This place is awesome. Wish I had gone back more than just once. I started drooling at all the stuff in the display area. Then I saw a combo plate going out. That was for me. It had a small open faced sandwich w avocado and a Poached egg, an amazing-coconut and fruit chia pudding and a tiny smoothie. It was soo satisfying.

Let's speak about Bespoke. Bespoke Kitchen was the first meal out that my boyfriend and I had the day after we landed in New Zealand. Fun fact: our very first meal in New Zealand was technically "homemade" and was comprised of fancy brie cheese, salami, and hummus on crackers paired with some not-so-fancy cup noodles. So, while I was originally a bit taken aback by the seemingly high prices at this cafe, I quickly learned during the rest of our trip that Bespoke's prices are quite typical for New Zealand eateries, especially in larger cities. I ordered the $20 breakfast board, which comes with 2 poached eggs atop avocado mash spread on sourdough toast and a pile of chili lime salt on the side, a berry chia pot with pineapple coconut whip, and a daily greens shot. The poached eggs are perfect, but the avocado mash isn't flavored, so sprinkle that chili lime salt to add some kick to the dish. I super enjoyed the berry chia pot with that light and fluffy whip, moreso than my boyfriend's $16.50 smoothie bowl. His large bowl came with a blackcurrant, acai, almond butter, date, banana, and coconut cream smoothie pooled next to a mound of puffed rice, hemp and fruit. I thought his smoothie was a bit too sour for my liking, so I stuck to my petite pot o' chia. A good cafe with plenty of healthy options to fuel your day!

This was our lasts stop in Queenstown and we were not disappointed! Since we're both vegan we had 1 of their juices (super good - citrus boost I think it was called), 1 cappuccino, the vegan eggs Benedict and the pancakes. Everything was delicious! The eggs Benedict was out of this world and it had a great crispy fried tofu-thing and for 2 people who don't generally eat or even like tofu this was a great surprise! All the flavors was just spot on and the service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be going back and can recommend!

Found this gem on Yelp when I searched for "eggs Benedict around me", we entered the place and saw series of unique delicacies and ended up having something else :) wonderful selection of desserts as well. Plan to go again tomorrow for eggs Benedict (maybe!) Edit: Went again next morning for the benedict and their famous breakfast board! As expected, everything was delicious! Loved it!

Place feels like it's right out of San Francisco.. communal seating, very healthy meals that you've never heard of. The food was beautifully plated. Like art. I wish it was as delicious as it looked. Don't get me wrong, it didn't taste bad at all. It was good. Not great. What really turned us off is the communal cafeteria like atmosphere. The people sitting on either side of us at the shared table were nasty human beings, who were certainly better than we were, what with their wheat grass drinks & food with zero nutritional value - of course they're better. But it's not the patrons that bothered us most. You order at the counter - along with 100 of your closest strangers, and you hurry to order because of the line - all while someone was fighting off the hungry wolves to maintain your seats at the awful community table. Then the service doesn't really come bring you your flat white coffee with almond milk or whatever your ordered for quite some time. They wander aimlessly instead of looking for the number that you're displaying and sometimes waving at them to identify the customer who ordered the wheat grass... Just not my/our cup of tea. Not at all.

Absolutely delicious food! I've been here twice in two days. I got the breakfast board with added haloumi on the side and a coffee. Then the second time I got a smoothie bowl and a slice of carrot cake. A lot of food but worth your money! I stayed full for a while. Definitely a great place to eat alone or with people. If you come alone, it's not too hard to find a seat but if you come with other people, plan on waiting or getting their early as you have to order at the counter and then find a seat. Definitely worth a visit while in Queenstown!

My favorite food spot in the queenstown central area and a short walk from the jucy snooze pod hotel. Thank god for something somewhat healthy. Slightly confusing location (it's upstairs from a small mixed medical practice facility) but the restaurant itself is wonderful with plenty of seating. Similar style to most places here, you grab a menu, seat yourself and order when ready at the bar/counter/register. I probably would have enjoyed 75-80% of the menu, and certainly loved the breakfast platter with avo toast and poached eggs, chia pudding and green juice. I also got a small bottle of daily kombucha (made in nz) and it was so so tasty / the perfect size.

CAME 2 times: breakfast/lunch. For Breakfast our group had: breakfast plates, stacks. Lunch: Salads, Salmon Eggs Benedict, Raw lemon cheesecake as well as savoury pancakes. Prices can be a bit high (but so are the rest same quality places in QT) 5/5 Location: Right next to the Skyline Gondola, offering nice views of the Remarkables from the outdoor seating, a bit farther from the main shopping centre. 5/5 Ambience: chill out, big windows. Providing high table seating, benches, big tables indoors as well as smaller two people tables. Fresh daily food serving in the cabinet. Can be quite loud inside - if you want quieter space do seat outside. 5/5 F&B: the food has plenty of choices of GF, Vegan, Vegetarian, as well as for those that are meat eaters. Breakfasts: breakfast bowls, Eggs Benedict. The cabinet varies from daily salads to sandwiches. Lunch: Sharing plates are available in the afternoon. Daily Soups available as well. DRINKS: Great juices available as well. Coffees can come with almond/coconut/soy milk. Sweets: the desserts are great and beautiful with edible flowers: fruit loafs, raw cheesecakes, and bliss balls and more. 5/5 Staff & Service: great and friendly. They serve fast 4/5 Internet: free for 40minutes, but very slow. 5/5 Time Limits/Power outlet: None. Fantastico posto anche se affollato dalle 08:30 fino alle 11:00. Da provare i breakfast bowls, poached eggs e coccolatevi con i dessert!

Delicious! Medium sized little cafe with a few students working while having a coffee or smoothie. The rest of the crowd was here for lunch, as were we. We walked in at the perfect time.. about 12:30 and were able to grab a table right away. Tip! Grab a table first and then get up to place your order at the counter. They had heaps of options in the glass case to choose from.. snacks, sweets and things. I opted for the salmon, kale and curry lentil special. Whoa!! It was phenomenal. So much flavor. The smoked salmon was cooked to perfection. I also ordered green tea which FYI was enough for two. I grabbed a to-go cup on the way out to take the rest with me. Highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch. It's just past the parking deck near Jervois.. up the hill just a way. You may think you've passed it but you'll see it soon . The green building on your right.

Great coffee but my food was a bit of a let down. I got the potato croquettes and whilst they were perfectly formed and crumbed, they had zero seasoning, the salmon was overlooked and also under seasoned, the fried egg was a-ok. We walked into town afterwards and shop owners all said it was not too be missed so we're thinking we just went on an off day but since we were leaving that afternoon didn't have time to go back. The cabinet food did look TDF though... Despite our meals being so-so, I still think Bespoke Kitchen is worth a looksie when you're in QT!

We had our last meal in NZ here and I'm so glad we did!! Super cute atmosphere, beautiful baked goods and awesome food. You can really tell that they take pride in all of their cooking and baking here. We got the breakfast board and the hash and both were delicious! Highly recommended

Great first stop in the morning, or afternoon if that's more your style (4pm close during our trip). They cover a lot of bases and as our group had carnivores, vegetarians and vegans in the mix, everyone left happy on multiple visits. There can be a line in the mornings, but even if it's running out the door, it moves through quickly enough and the food is worth it. Some of our favorites included Eggs Benedict (w/ Salmon, Mushroom or Bacon as the additional protein), homemade granola with yogurt, eggs+fresh bread+pork sausage, hash, toast and jam, smoothies. I expect everything to enjoyable. Enjoyed many of the fresh baked items on display inside the carry-out case and across the top. Missing this place already.

Ha! First to review and I'm not even in Australia! They may be OK at Rugby but at Nitbull, gulf, beskitbull, and Yilp Aussies rule. Great place by the same folks that have Vudu. Trifek cuffee! Had a few cups of coffee here and on the last day we had the leek and something else soup and we nearly missed our plane because I lapsed into a state of soup rapture and couldn't be roused. The best soup I've had since Keeno's pea and ham.

My favorite place in Queenstown. Super tasty food, beautifully served, by nice people with some (albeit limited) quantity of free wifi. I have never had a slice of banana bread, just a simply slice of banana bread, so precisely and colorfully presented. With a stripe of sauce, a nob of butter, and a candied slice of orange. And that was just the first thing I ordered. Every other time I came in, there were new pastries, clean and fresh presentations of them, and very satisfied customers.

The 'Vegan Benedict' is everything! Visited a few times now, always the first pick when I'm in Queenstown. Delicious food (especially the raw treats!) and coffee and always get great service. Nice little suntrap when the weathers good and the outdoor wood Fire is a bonus.

Thank you, Yelpers! We got here shortly before closing but got a table outside and ordered everything that looked good to us! We got the atria fries, the hash, curry plate, the superbowl, and three pastry looking things! Everything was amazing, with fresh ingredients served by friendly workers in a cool environment.

This is a super cute restaurant and located on the way to the gondola so I stopped by for breakfast. The atmosphere is nice, it was pretty busy but there was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. All the food in the cabinet has a really nice presentation, kind of a posh hipster vibe. Considering the price of the food, the food was kind of disappointing. I got the salmon scotch egg (came with a side salad) and a flat white, together my meal cost almost 30 NZD (20 USD)! A scotch egg is like street food in London so I was a bit taken aback, but the smoked salmon version sounded unique and I wanted to give it a go. It was pretty good but underwhelming...maybe I was comparing it too much to the vegetarian scotch egg I had in a London Street market. I also wasn't a fan of the side salad because they used arugula which is so bitter! I just ate the salad toppings which were really tasty (other veggies like cucumber and watermelon radishes!). My friend ordered their smoothie bowl, it was weird. Very herb-y (sage??) and floral! I'm not a fan of floral foods personally so I didn't like it...It was also a bit more watery than other smoothie bowls I've had in the past. The presentation and colors were absolutely beautiful though! Last thing that kinda grossed me out were the water cups. They were in the corner next to the sink to fill up with water...But the water cups looked kinda unwashed. I didn't feel comfortable drinking out of it and just filled up my water bottle instead. I actually picked up a cup that had some food bits stuck to it!! It makes me question the actual cleanliness of the utensils...

I loved this place! Everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. I had the poached eggs, and they were fabulous. So fresh and naturally tasty. The sourdough was also quite amazing. I saw a few tables which had various yogurt creations, and the plating was so beautiful. This restaurant is really close to the gondola, and I recommend it before heading up. Also, they have a delicious, local hot sauce in the back by the water station, make sure you grab a bottle for your food! One negative: we got there early (8 am) and they had their soup special advertised in several places. However, when I ordered it, they said it wasn't ready. I understand soup takes time to cook, but I would recommend not advertising if it's not available.

Ate here three mornings in a row! Amazing vegan options. Great coffee and service! So good we had to come back again and again. My favourites were the pancakes and the wellness salad!

Their name literally means customization and special to you, but yet when I told them I couldn't eat chia and could they put a dollop of yogurt on my breakfast board instead, they were unwilling to do so. They we're also out of avocado at 9am. Hold on. 9am. At a breakfast place known for their avocado mash. Food was fine (not a lot of flavor TBH) and their unwillingness to adjust a plate based on a dietary restriction when I can't eat the thing when it's in your actual brand name was super stupid.

This review is for Vudu AND Bespoke, which are pretty much the same cafes--same owners, same menu, same font on the menu, and same adorable deliciousness (though Bespoke has a bit more space than Vudu). I loved these places so much I actually planned all my days in Queenstown around them--no day was allowed to start without their Flat White and breakfast goodies. Yep, they're super crowded, but their servers double as hostesses and keep their eyes out for tables to reserve for you: while you're in line something opens up, they nod you to it, and you're good to go. Excellent organization. Their coffee is marvelous, their food incredibly fresh and delicious, with an array of local ingredients, and their servers all cheerful, energetic, capable, and painfully good-looking. Always nice to wake your brain up with coffee, bacon, and eye candy, isn't it? Order anything on the menu and you will be surprised at how fresh, healthy, and flavorful it tastes--even the bacon tastes healthy, as though it came from a pig fed only milk and honey, lovingly cuddled every night, and given a room of its own on the waterfront. The breakfast sandwich and Benedict were the best savory items (they should do an Art Show showcasing their perfectly cooked eggs, I would definitely pay an entrance fee just to ogle at them), and the Bircher muesli with whipped coconut cream, decadent strawberry sauce, date puree, and other gorgeous flavors was so delicious and energizing I immediately raced up a mountain. No, seriously, I did. And I think it was all thanks to the muesli, which was, after all, invented by a Swiss dude and therefore meant to get you up and down some Alps. Tons of other baked goods and dessert-y items, all of which change daily depending on what's freshest. This place makes me wish I was ten years younger so I could move to Queenstown, work here during the day, party at night, and place myself in simulated life-threatening situations on the weekends. *Sigh*

Big five stars. Everything is so artistic and delicious. Really cute artisanal restaurant with a lovely menu. Free wifi with a purchase. Don't miss this place.

The place in my dreams does exist and it's called Bespoke Kitchen! Great staff, incredible food and an unbeatable location.

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly service, great coffee and amazing food. I tried the breakfast board - edamame on sourdough with poached eggs, a hot shot with honey turmeric and cayenne and a yoghurt and muesli taster. Delicious. I sat outside as I was after some fresh air and quiet and it was blissful. The team are amazingly friendly, quick service. The coffee was perfect, hot and well made.

The food here was so so delicious. We had the spiced pancakes and they were perfect. Also the scrambled eggs on sourdough toast was amazing. They were so buttery and really hit the spot. We also tried the vitamin c boost juice and it was great. It was more pulpy than store bought juice in a good way. It tasted fresh and the flavor was spot on.

Great breakfast. Had the eggs on toast and as promised I had scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. Toast could have been more toasted and a bit of butter and jam would have been a nice touch. But was still yummy. Offer drinks were delicious. They offer a lot of prepared options. Didn't have any but they looked pretty. Wanted to try them all. Will go back while in queenstown. Too good to pass up.

The food is amazing! We went to both locations:). The first day they messed up on our order but made it right!

The best food ever! Place is packed but the service is so fluid and friendly that you don't mind the wait. Went back twice in one day. First for breakfast - breakfast board is amazing. Avocado toast with two perfectly poached eggs, energy juice shot and chia coconut raspberry parfait. So much attention to detail- wisps of watercrest on eggs, pansies frozen in the ice cubes in my juice soda. So fresh and great variety. And then went back later for a snack - delicious gingery chai latte and amazing lemon tart. Can't recommend this place enough.

Best breakfast ever, hands down. If they opened a spot in San Francisco they'd be millionaires.

The best granola!!!! What a great way to start the day here for breakfast! And the service was great!

This place was our last stop before heading to the airport to fly back to the states, and what a choice it was. Despite the grey weather, our seat on the front deck of the café still yielded lovely views of Queenstown and the quiet surrounding neighborhood. The decor is modern and simplistic, highlighting the local flora, and the wait staff were incredibly helpful and polite. The food was DELICIOUS. The All-Day menu offered many healthful options without sacrificing taste, and the bakery case was filled with creations that were almost too pretty to eat. Almost. We managed to beat the rush by stopping by early on New Year's Day, but we'd imagine any other day the place would be packed. Avoid this by stopping by early, and watching the day start over a cardamom latté and some delicious hot smoked salmon.

This is place is a find! I am not vegan or vegetarian but their offerings are so tasty I am considering it. Everything is this little space is delightful. I wanted to eat every meal here. We ordered takeaway lunches. Ate breakfast and then counted the hours till they opened their doors again. It is so rare that a kitchen takes presentation seriously. This kitchen does. Not only does it taste good. It looks good. I would consider coming back to NZ again, just to have one more meal here. I am still dreaming of the food. Hoping they will start cooking classes or make a cookbook. Move over Yotam Ottolenghi, you have competition. Luckily they are on the other side of the world. Don't miss this one.

Incredible filling, healthy, beautiful food. Takeaway pastry and sandwiches just as good as the sit down fare. Casual ambiance and just delightful.

Best vegetarian food and great views from outdoor seating.

CANNOT RATE THE EGGS BENEDICT HIGHLY ENOUGH We have been here two days and have been there both mornings and will more than likely continue in that fashion. Great staff, great juices.

Farm to table freshness and goodness. Everything tasted great! Smoothie, pastry, avocado toast!! Highly recommend this place.

Excellent food here. We went for Sunday brunch. Absolutely buzzing with a great vibe. Huge queue of people but don't be put off, service is rapid!
