Oaken Cafe - Dunedin

It's on two floors. The ground floor has mostly outdoor with a couple of indoor tables. The second floor covers a large area with lots more more tables, chairs and couch options.

I ended up getting their eggs on toast and asked if they were able to add bacon, but decided not to just due to price (not too bad, it’s just everything’s expensive nowadays) but even after they put in my order, they still added bacon I thought it was really sweet and even after checking if they wanted me to pay, they were very respectful and didn’t have me pay for the bacon! The meal was amazing, the coffee was just perfect and the atmosphere, though earlier in the morning, was still pretty vibrant. All-round, it’s cafes like these that make my day a little better.

I tried out the new dinner menu. The grilled chicken breast was cooked perfectly and the mushroom sauce with it was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful!

This was onThursday 24th Feb at 1230pm I delayed making a review until I heard that the others in the party were just as disappointed as me. Despite having changed our booking from 4 to 5 we arrived to find the table set for 4 only. Very disappointing to then have 4 of our party of 5, finish the meal before the 5th meal was ready even more disappointing that the meal was not as ordered (this meal was for a pregnant woman who was clear on ordering that she did not want hollandaise sauce.

Great food well cooked and presented, good coffee, friendly staff, comfortable dining area, good price. It was the perfect start to a drizzly Dunners day. Thanks!
