My partner and I both ordered lamb burgers and 30 mins later we get chicken… some sort of frozen processed chicken… not very nice. Came with lots of fries though

This was the first time I had visited the Museum Cafe since the museum itself took over the running of the cafe when the previous, very popular, lessee’s contract ran out. It was a legal takeover, but seemingly unfair and certainly unpopular with many of the Dunedin public. Anyway, the new management seems to be doing well. Albeit my visit was just for a coffee and scone, the scone was fresh, large, and in a nice change from the norm for sweet scones, it wasn’t stuffed with dried fruit. I turned down the offer of jam and cream, and really enjoyed a plain, buttered scone. The coffee was good too, and the service pleasant. Close to five stars, but these days I use Riverstone Kitchen as the benchmark for cafes and the Museum Cafe isn’t quite up there.

I regularly come to Otago Museum Cafe, and every time there is excellent front of house service, consistent quality of coffee, and never a noticeable wait for food. Really pleasant experience. I frequently recommend it to friends and family!

I went there for lunch a month ago and was very disappointed not only with the limited selection of food available but also the quality of the food. My friends and I had all three of the choices of made-to-order food and each of our meals came with fries. My meal was basically a small sandwich with fries, hardly worth it and not particularly tasty. I will not be going back there again.
