Cafe Review - Everyday Gourmet

466 George Street, down the road from Rob Roy. 5 Stars.

Prices: Flat White: $4.20, Long Black: $3.20, Mocha: $4.70

Why I came here: A friend and I felt the need for a coffee to get through our Friday morning lectures and decided to venture towards George St

Atmosphere: Cute, homely and European

Service: Polite and friendly

Food: Each visit I struggle to refrain myself from the almond croissants ($4.50) on the counter – SO good! There’s a vast array of cakes and confectionary as well as plenty of savouries to choose from.

Overall: I love Everyday Gourmet! Walking in, you can’t help but be distracted by the little details that seem to make Everyday Gourmet one of the best cafes in Dunedin, whether it’s the assortment of specialty jars and jams on the left hand side of the store, the little red blankets provided for cold outdoor patrons, or the French music that resonates throughout the cafe. The coffee was delicious, sweet and authentic and the place was buzzing with people of all age groups conversing together. If I can recommend one thing, it would be to bring your mum or grandma here. She will love the delicatessen-like aspect of the cafe and marvel at the imported indulgences. Feeling daring? Try one of the specialty hot chocolates which come in flavours such as chilli and crème brûlée.
