Good coffee, fine looking food in the cabinet and on the blackboard menu. We enjoyed the brioche and it was excellent. We bought a couple of jars of the jams - one for a gift and one for ourselves so we are still enjoying the flavours of this gorgeous little café. The historic building was a real bonus too, as...

Jane and her team are world famous for their Sticky Buns and they did not disappoint this trip either. There is a great feel in this cafe - you are treated like a friend coming in for their regular coffee, even as in our case you are an annual visitor to the area rather than a local.

For our five day visit we ended up here every day. Coffee, sticky buns, ginger bread, and jams as well as a cute cookbook. Would definitely visit again next time I was in the area.

I have been back to Provisions many times since my last visit in January 2013. Whenever I'm in Queenstown I go there - it is just that good. The sticky buns are their signature thing, but actually all the food is excellent and the coffee is great too. The service is also excellent. The only thing to complain about is... More

There's a board outside the cafe that describes the sticky buns as 'obscenely good' and they really are!!! We drove here from Queenstown 4 times just to eat the marvelous sticky buns. Ask the friendly staff to heat buns up for you if you're eating there - they taste a million times better warm. However, there is definitely much better... More

Loved the coffee and the outside seating area was perfect for a sunny day. The best cafe in arrowtown. Had a hot cross bun which was delicious! Would recommend it to others

We made the (wonderful) mistake of trying the famous Provisions sticky buns on our first day in Arrowtown, and had to return every day! Coffee was fine, but those sticky buns... A first class Arrowtown attraction.

WOW!!! Came here four times in seven days. Fantastic team working here who keep things moving. Great coffee but oh my.........those buns. They were incredible. Whoever is the baker here is a goddess - amazing array of things but those buns... I'd better stop right now.

Nestled a minute walk away from the town but make the effort, it's worth it just for the sticky buns! Great coffee, very pretty and rustic.

Visited twice on a recent visit to Arrowtown, the sticky buns and scones are great, one of the nicer places around the area.
