Cafe Ambience — Restaurant in Southland

Stopped in Gore on our way back to Queenstown and needed some food and coffee.

Popped into here and was super excited to see there were plenty of vegan options available. From breakfast options to lunch!

I got some toasted sandwiches with vegan cheese and they hit just the spot! It was good vegan cheese that melted and tasted so good! My only regret was not ordering a third one!

Coffee was quite nice and just what we needed on our drive. When I come back to NZ, this place will be high on my places to pop back to for a good meal!

The staff were super friendly, which for me is always a huge...

I'm from the states and when we went to New Zealand now three years ago we stopped at Cafe Ambiance on our way south. Let me just say WOW!

3 Years have passed and I still think of the two most amazing little breakfasts I had at Cafe Ambiance... I hope i can retire in Gore simply to go here daily!

Do yourself a favor and eat here for me and savor...

It was a great breakfast—thanks heaps for going out of your way to accommodate me. Highly recommended, and totally lives up to ratings on...
