The staff at Paraflight recommended this place and I'm so glad we decided to visit! The food was delicious! We got the crispy chicken and blue cod dumplings. Both were delicious, reasonably priced and the wait wasn't very long. We also ordered the juice blends which were refreshing but a tad pricey. Didn't end up trying any of their desserts... More

Nondescript store front, but great choice of food items for lunch and breakfast. We ate here twice while in Queenstown. Nice to sit outside and people watch. The food was good. No complaints here!

During my stay in New Zealand I have also stopped in Queenstown. Beautiful little town on the lake! My friend from Te Anau suggested I go and have a meal at Vudu Cafe. And god, was she right! I had amazing veggie sandwich in New Zealand. I've chosen wholemeal ciabatta bread with roasted vegetables and halloumi cheese. It arrived neatly... More

I ate here twice while in Queenstown- once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times were incredible, but if I had to pick, I'd say lunch was better. The food at Vudu is amazing! I went with several friends and we all ordered something different and shared- we loved every single thing we ordered. Save room for dessert- they... More

The food is unbelievably good here! Everything is really fresh and never takes long. The coffee is the best too.

Vudu's reputation is widespread leading to it always being difficult to get a table for lunch at either of the versions of Vudu. The range of counter/cabinet foods demonstrates why that is - the food looks and is superb as is the coffee and the service.

Had a breakfast here and was just amazed at the selection of food in the display cabinet. I could have chosen just about every single thing in there. Then the top of the counter was covered in delicious Kiwi Cafe food, like muffins, scones, you name it, it was there. Great atmosphere and excellent service. We ate in the Rees... More

I have been going to Vudu for years.. The food is always fantastic, a great variety to suit all tastes. The only GREAT coffee I had on our weekend away was at Vudu. The place is always busy and its a great relief to find a seat. The hustle and bustle of Vudu adds to its charm. Congratulations on years... More

We got the coffee and breakfast rolls (pastries and scones) we wanted to take away. This little shop is crazy busy during breakfast time, so patience is required. While we waited for our coffee, we had to move around to avoid the wait staff, who were hustling back and forth taking orders and serving food. We didn't eat cooked breakfast,... More

All their breakfast dishes look and taste amazing. Prices are reasonable. Don't come here in a hurry since eating here is an experience in itself. Takes about 15-20 minutes for your food to come out. Seating is limited so have someone in your party save a table while the other orders.
