Cork & Beans Coffee House & Wine Lounge

If I could give 10 Stars I would. I visit Dunedin fairly often and this is the BEST coffee I have found when I’m there. I drink espresso, and everywhere else downtown is very bitter and almost undrinkable. The espresso here is consistently perfect. In the evening I will stop in for a happy hour beer and enjoy talking with the regulars. They make you feel like family. You cannot go wrong with a lavender mimosa either. It’s always service with a smile!!!

Bought lunch down the street- Stopped here for coffee x2 and the barista (owner?) told us we couldn’t eat inside or out, even though we were paying customers and there was literally no one else there.
I understand they sell food, but come on….
I’ll be going to the coffee shop across the street in the future.

11/4/22 Cork & Beans. THE PLACE to indulge in good coffee, good wine, and good food. Plus the unique opportunity to MEET new and interesting people. And possibly cultivate new FRIENDSHIPS.

The outside is enclosed with a tables-in-the-round arrangement, reminiscent of European cafes. A style conducive to cordiality and FRIENDLY CONVERSATION which easily percolates between tourists and townies.

In one sitting tourists can get the INSIDE SCOOP from enthusiastic locals on Delightful Dunedin: recommendations on parks, beaches, restaurants, markets, local arts-and-crafts fairs, and more.

Host Jessica, originally from Italy, carries on a tradition of Italian-style HOSPITALITY and CHARM. Like a good bartender will remember your drink, she'll likewise know your coffee or wine blend, and have it ready in a flash, with a pleasant smile and a warm word of welcome.

Besides vast coffee and wine selections don't forget their DELICIOUS FOOD MENUS. And don't miss their evening HAPPY HOUR -- when the wine and conversation and laughter are pouring out in abundance. All at a VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE compared to some in the downtown area.

Cork & Beans is the most pleasant place to START the day. And END the day.

Cork & Beans. Where everyone knows your name. And you'll get to know theirs.

Super charming coffee spot right in the heart of Dunedin. Hot coffee, cold coffee, etc. -- it's all good. There's also outdoor seating. It's my go to whenever I'm with friends or family nearby.

Fantastic hidden coffee bar that has several options of coffee and wine with a fun atmosphere. Great variety of speciality drink flavors for any coffee craving you have. They can all be ordered iced which is fantastic on those hot summer days.

Excellent espresso although the new owner is not friendly, acts like we are disturbing her when we ordered our coffee and dessert. It is the best coffee around!!!!!

Nice coffee shop! They have a variety of items on their menu.

My boyfriend and I love to stop in here for coffee when we’re in Dunedin. They have a ton of yummy choices and the prices are actually very reasonable!

Great experience. Got the Matchi Latte was very good. Would definitely recommend this spot to relax and have a conversation. Jessica was very accommodating. Absolutely going back.

What a great coffee we had this morning! The owner was fantastically fast and observant with lightning speed…I recommend getting a specialty coffee they are amazingly good!
