Moinho Café

Moinho cafe, recently established in Queenstown’s Frankton area, is an extension of the renowned Padaria do Moinho bakery founded in Cuiabá. The Queenstown branch continues the tradition of quality artisanal baking, offering a tempting range of breads, cakes, and savory treats in a relaxed, welcoming café setting. The menu blends Brazilian and South American flavors with New Zealand café classics and caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Portions are generous-one cheese scone was enough for two-and the cabinet food looks appealing. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the cappuccino we had was well made. The café’s casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch. Our experience was enhanced by the clean premises and reasonable prices. Moinho cafe stands out for its fresh, quality baked goods, friendly service, and unique Brazilian flair, making it a welcome addition to Queenstown’s café scene.

Came in with friends (we were on holiday) for a mid morning coffee, they all wanted scones and a coffee. I was prepared to have nothing but coffee being Coeliac (GF). But to my surprise they have a whole dedicated GF menu, quite a few cabinet choices including a delicious cheese scone and melting moment. Highly recommend, was a fabulous find. They even use separate tongs without being asked to avoid cross contamination. Thanks CS.

Came here for brunch. I liked that they had separate menus for vegans and vegetarians and gluten free it made it really easy to order plus you don’t get worried they will forget to swap something out. The coffee was not very nice but oat milk coffee is often not nice. I had the vegan brunch and it was not bad i really liked the artichoke chips but whatever the vinegar thing was there was a bit too much, however overall it was pretty good. The playlist was not good it was only old bad pop, a more interesting playlist would be great. Service was good
