Reviews of The Courthouse Cafe
T.
Some of the best food I've ever tasted. I came across this cafe while working in Alexandra on a temporary project and boy was I impressed by absolutely EVERYTHING! The taste, the setup, the atmosphere, the pricing, the presentation, the quantity & quality.
This is one of those rare local owner operated cafés where you can taste the love and passion behind everything. The type of hidden gem, which mostly only locals know about!
So, don't second guess yourself, try it out today and give them your honest feedback ratings (I'm sure it will be 5 stars), so that more people can enjoy this amazing hospitality venue!
G.
On Saturday evenings they do a range of genuinely delicious, real value for money pizza. This is a pizza worth traveling a long distance for. You will savour every mouthful. Let's not forget the great location, or the super helpful and friendly staff
C.
Beautiful decor here. One of the best I've ever seen at a cafe. Warm, sumptuous, beautiful, fresh. Good tastes here, just losing a star for the pricy cabinet food, not unusual for cafe fare these days
S.
Lovely food and lovely outdoor seating area. Great spot to catch up with friends! Staff super friendly too!
E.
Magnificent decoration at the counter, comfy atmosphere cafe. Cozy place for breakfast. The food and drinks are so presentable, love that. The strawberry milkshake is so yum.... Hot Chocolate, Caramel Latte, and cheese rolls and scones are recommended. Always visit here if come to Alexandria.
S.
We enjoyed The Packing Shed Art in the Garden run by Rebeekah and Baz (owners of the Courthouse), I enjoyed Coconut Prawns in coconut cream with avocado, onions, and salad greens. My friends enjoyed the dessert options. The service was quick and efficient, with obliging wait staff.
p.
Super cool place to chill on a nice sunny day. Lots of sitting outside. We were here for the Blossom Festival and this place was busy. We duly queued up and placed our order and was surprised at how quickly the food arrived. The food quality was good and yummy but I gave it a 4 star bec I felt the coffee was not up to my taste. I understand different people may like the coffee but I found it a bit sharp and acidic. I normally swear by Atomic coffee so was a tad surprised by this. Maybe a 1 off, else a pleasant experience, food and service.
Addition - visited this place again on 29th Dec 2020. Lovely Christmas decor and themes.
S.
Cycled here and asked a local where a good cafe was and was told to come here. Best looking and tasting cafe food in an incredible historic building with outdoor seating and bike parking. Meringues like I've never seen before!!! Huge!
R.
Good coffee!! I wanted to see someone order the HUGE meringue with cream but alas, nobody did while I was there. I was tempted but it would have made me sleep within five bites 😁
B.
Amazing everything! Great service, delicious food & coffee, generous portions, gorgeous flowers and a cute setting. An absolute must when visiting Alexandra.
H.
Amazing food and good coffee - ordered the special, a potato gratin with bacon and eggs. Everything was delicious & it's fun knowing it used to be a courthouse (a bit of history!). Highly recommend if you're passing through.
C.
Thanks google map helps me find this cafe! Super recommend!! Amazing! You can try everything here! No regret! Latte must!
C.
Good place to have a relax time by yourself or with your friend.
I had a flat-white which I prefer.
Though it was a windy day on the day, I did have a enjoyable time with my colleague.
K.
Friendly staff, high speed even when busy. Tasty food and sweet treats. I will have to come back with the family.
G.
Best coffee in Alex. I have one day in town a week and this is the highlight. Staff are friendly, and even when its busy the wait for coffee is never too long. Looking forward to the end of lockdown and I can get a good coffee again!
K.
Bread and butter pudding was Devine definitely a 5 star. The macchiato and soy cappuccino we're very 3 star... At best. The other patrons food looked great too.
A.
Great Coffee, great food and they always serve with smile
E.
Would 100% recommend the waffles. So crispy and delicious with strawberries and bacon. Staff were super friendly too.
E.
Exceptional Cafe. The food is amazing and coffee great. Staff very helpful.
N.
Love that place!
I will return to have a flat white with Barry
from Ireland again some day…
J.
What a place! The food was absolutely Devine. The atmosphere was wonderful and the overall history element of this cafe made me just want to sit and think what kinda of stories the walls would hold.
S.
Great selection of food and great coffee
R.
A great little cafe! We came here while doing a bike ride and stopped for slices and then lunch on the way back. The menu was very limited (about 5 lunch options) but many cabinet options. It was a sunny day and lovely to sit out in the sun and relax.
A.
Outstanding. No photos because we ate the food too quickly. Duck hawker roll-excellent. Chicken taquito-excellent. Caramel slice-large, bad for you, and also excellent. We'll be back.
N.
The food is fantastic & friendly staff highly recommend
F.
Great little cafe with excellent on-site baking-some mammoth meringues and other treats. We had eggs Benedict-the hollandaise was perfect.
C.
Great coffee. Loved the Friday treat idea .. what a great idea to end the week. Yummy cinnamon scroll/scone for $2..
K.
I love this cafe; not only is the food amazing and the coffee strong and hot, but they have fantastic displays around the counter area which change with the season. My only consideration when coming here during my lunch hour is sometimes the queues are long and I can’t get served in time. Definitely a local favourite!
R.
One of the best cafes in Central Otago. Funky, eclectic atmosphere, tasty baked treats, and a wide selection of pre-prepared items to take on the go. Dine in for some unexpected additions to your plate, done tastefully and stylishly. I love the history of the building as Alexandra’s 19th century courthouse. Lovely outdoor seating area for the area’s frequent sunny days. Friendly staff and fair prices.
M.
Fantastic food. Great coffee. The most amazing cheese scones (biggest and best!!) and great historic surroundings. Deservedly popular (it was bursting at the seams when we visited). A great place to spend a cool wet day.
k.
Amazingly they reopened for us after just closing for the day. Great cakes and deserts not to mention fancy teas. They had great looking savoury dishes but we didn't sample.
G.
Lovely lunch and great service.
N.
Great coffee and food, especially the sweet treats in the cabinet 😍
P.
Deliciously food in a nice historic location. Lovely spot to sit outside and enjoy the sun. We had the avocado smash and pork belly ciabatta and both were very tasty!
H.
Great iced coffee....thanks Jack😊
C.
Nice coffee and wonderful snacks
N.
Really nice place to have a brunch outside on a sunny day.
There are some good healthy and original propositions on the menu.
Not 5 stars because we wait a really long time to be served, it seems our order was lost.
L.
Stunning cabinet display.
Great coffee and the dumplings were 10/10.
Beautiful cafe, glad we stopped here on our travels.
K.
Great food served by friendly people
B.
Stopped by for a coffee and a pastry. I wouldn't say the coffee was excellent, but it was better than a lot of cafés. A regular latte was a little weak for my taste, so if you like it strong, ask for it strong.
A.
Very good food, just need to get their billing sorted. They called many items miscellaneous
and then came back to our table saying we didn't pay for one meal, however turned out it was one of the misc ones. Otherwise beautifully presented and delicious food.
V.
Delicious food, beautiful clean environment. Very worthwhile a visit.
H.
Yuuuuum!! What a line up in the cabinet - so many options, including Vegan options 🎉 also hooooly, thee most beautiful flowers as decoration inside. Stole my heart!
A.
Ordered the Potatoe Gratin (daily special), cappuccino and a cream cruffin.
Very generous serving, was starving from missing breakfast and this easily filled me up.
Great coffee, keen to come back and try all the delicious looking cabinet food on display.
S.
Just the best berry scones
T.
Absolutely loved this cafe. Their setting is in a beautiful area and the whole cafe on a historical building has nice sitting outside
Their coffee along with their cakes are delicious
Must try cafe when in this beautiful town
M.
Counter display is amazing! Fresh flowers everywhere! Pleasant atmosphere and nice surroundings. Smoothies and the corn fritters are highly recommended.
V.
High quality food and drink, professional staff, beautiful building and gardens.
M.
Lovely spot...well done to the owners and staff very friendly. Tastefully decorated and a yum food rating ...we shared a blueberry scone perfectly light and fluffy and smash parked with lots of blueberries srummy yummy
M.
Amazing cafe. Amazing food. Great staff. Tonnes of seating inside and out. Highly recommended. Must do if heading through central.
M.
The slices are enormous! Popular and busy cafe with plenty of inside and outside seating. Great coffee and they also serve panini and all kinds of savoury offerings too
S.
Really nice food. Prompt and friendly staff. Meals served fast even when they were busy. Outside tables have a view of the snow capped hills.
G.
Coffee perfect - so much
Variety! makes choosing challenging Savoury Scones & Raspberry lemon scones Both really light and delicious
J.
Decent cabinet food with the usual wheat based focus. I had a tasty ciabatta and ok coffee. Mine was tasty but served a tad too cold.
S.
This cafe is really awesome, they always decorate really well with fresh flowers and are based in a historic site for Alexandra. Shame there's no 6th star
S.
The food is absolutely beautiful, as good as it looks! The coffees, hot chocolates, and milkshakes are fantastic. And the decor is bright and cheery. A very nice cafe!
B.
Absolute favourite place to eat anytime, early open for coffee and breakfast at 7am. Suits us 5 days a week
M.
Delicious Burgers and Thai dumplings tonight. What a joy to have a takeaway of such quality. Simple and very tasty.
J.
Good selection but food a little bland/average - especially the cheese rolls! Bakery/cakes look and always taste great! Nice garden in sun
D.
Came here early on a Monday AM. The cinnamon muffins are worth the trip alone. It was Fairy Tale day so the staff were in costume. Food was nom. I had the corn fritters and hubby had eggs on toast with added bacon. Coffee was nom too. Took away the muffins and 2 slices of fudge slice... Like I said, mufiins were super nom. Building was cute and it was a beautiful morning all round. Good work.
A.
Wow, if you have not been to place, you need to go. I had egg Benedict with bacon, apricots and strawberries and a "wow" sauce. Delicious
H.
Absolutely amazing place. Highly recommended to stop and check it out if you are passing by. The food is amazing and the staff very friendly and attentive!
D.
This is easily the best cafe in New Zealand. There is nothing they could improve on. The only issue they have is being too popular so sometimes the wait time is not ideal.
r.

Food options were limited and food took a bit to come out. Food was nice though and had nice seating in the sun
N.
Probably the best baked goods in the South Island! The garden seating is great in the sunshine and gives a view of mountainside clock.
P.
Good but expensive. Great for occasions, breakfast with distant relatives, or taking your girlfriend out for lunch. Recommend the French toast
V.
Absolutely awesome food! Try the pork belly ciabatta oh my...so good. And prices really decent!!!

This cafe is lovely. Tasty food, quick friendly service and reasonable prices. The mushrooms on toast was the best I have ever had. Our dogs were welcome to sit with us outside and water was provided for them. We liked it so much we went back again the next day. Definitely the best cafe in Collingwood. You have to be quick to get a loaf of the sourdough to take with you. It sold out before we got there on the second visit. Delicious!
