Arthur's Pass Cafe & Store

Arthur's Pass Café & Store has been welcoming locals and travellers for many years. They're well known for their food, coffee and friendly service. Enjoy a quick snack or a hearty meal – the delicious range of freshly prepared food includes hot or cold food ready to go, or order from the menu for cooked breakfasts and tasty meals.

Being an iconic Kiwi café, they are renowned for great pies and savouries, home-baked cakes and slices, mountain breakfasts, ice-creams (very large ones) and, of course, fabulous espresso coffee. They're also licensed, offering craft beers and New Zealand wines.

Hopefully you have time to stay and enjoy the spectacular scenery of Arthur's Pass National Park. If you sit on the outside terrace you are likely to meet a playful Kea, New Zealand's indigenous mountain parrot. On a winter's day you'll be cosy in the café and lounge, where you can access free wi-fi.

The store supplies a good range of groceries as well as beer and wine. They also have a selection of quality New Zealand merino clothing and souvenirs.

Petrol and diesel are available during opening hours (and sometimes for an after-hours call out!). This is the only fuel supply for almost an hour in either direction.

The friendly team members are locals and international travellers on working holidays, who make the most of living and working in this stunning alpine environment.
