Queen of Queenstown - Our Cafe of the Year 2020

Bespoke Kitchen - one of the best cafes we visited in Australia and New Zealand and winner of our Cafe of the Year 2020.

Very impressive.

Bin the Butt

Ban the cigarette butts and great water fountain points (for dogs and all) in Australia

The Future of Bottled Water

Reusable and recyclable aluminium water bottles in Australia from Kindness Water - surely a great answer to the quest to avoid plastic water bottles.

Already available in UK at Itsu https://greatcafes.blogspot.com/2019/11/refill-flask.html

Refill Flask

Itsu's £1.99 aluminium Refill Flask - first-to-market they say plus  a 5p donation to the Blue Marine Foundation

A Drink to Remember

 Rosemary water is one of the latest flavoured, non-alcoholic waters
