Veskolini Cafe

Such a cute place. Great place to work at if you're a hybrid or remote worker. Good for board game or card groups. Lots of the goodies are made in house, like the croissants. The lattes have a thick foam at the top and you can clearly see the layers. You can tell she loves her work! This place is immaculate.

First time at Veskolini Cafe and it did not disappoint! Tasteful, beautiful, and very clean. It's close to the heart of downtown Dunedin but on a quiet street, perfect place to relax and enjoy your coffee or dessert. Nice furnishings, has an upscale feel to it. The Cafe is actually pretty big, they even had a gathering room where a group of ladies were doing some sort of wine and paint (check out the photo below, lol). We received a very friendly service from Lena, we already had some drinks and she was so nice, humorous, and patient with us. Their coffee was absolutely delicious, almond Danish flavorful, chocolate cake very rich without being too overwhelmingly sweet. Usually I'm not a fan of baklava but theirs was delicious, very fresh and moist. I can't wait to return to Veskolini Cafe.

Upon entering the cafe, it is spacious and welcoming. A Mediterranean atmosphere entices you forward to the counter where a smile greets you. The menu has good readability and the bakery items are in full view.

A wide assortment of coffee, tea and other beverages (including wine) are easily viewed with bottled water and sodas as grab and go. Service is excellent 👍There is a private event room available that has a large table for 8-10 people.

Other popular menu items include paninis and cakes or baklava.
Personally, I ordered an iced coffee and coffee cake muffin to eat outdoors on the picnic table. The muffin was warmed and the day delightful.

This building is accessible ♿ and has a paved parking lot (small).

Suggestions: Even though cold brew coffee is Japanese in origin, it's a value added to any cafe menu. Please also install a bike rack. ☺️

This place is a diamond in the rough!! When you walk inside it completely opens up into a European style cozy cafe. The vibe is very mellow. With the smell of coffee mixed with croissants in the air, and grand piano music playing in the background. It creates its own atmosphere like no other. Service is very good. You order at the counter and you coffee and pastries are brought to you on white plates while you sit on a couch or italian chair. The pistachio ricotta cake is to die for. Even at breakfast time its amazing with a espresso. The croissants are fluffy and buttery. Offering a variety of pastries, paninis, desserts and coffees. This place is a must go to for a relaxing Dunedin experience.

True European atmosphere in Dunedin. Owners are so genuine and nice, Olena is the sweetest person! One of my favourite places in town. In fact we go there all the time. My kids love it there too. Quick, polite, friendly, tasty, what more would you ask for?

Very lovely Italian cafe. They have a nice selection of bakery stuff and desserts. The coffee was delicious. I also loved the decor and the ambiance overall. Highly recommend checking it out. I will surely come back whenever I am on the area.
Parking: I found parking on the street however there is some limited parking by the cafe as well.

Very nice cafe with excellent coffee and food!

It is roomy inside. Plus, they have tables outside.

There is parking on the premises.

If you drive and EV, there is a free charging spot right behind this restaurant.

Stuff is super friendly!

Prices, I think, at ~10-15% above average. But, food was very tasty!

Nice clean bathroom.

Coffee to go or enjoy it here, in very comfortable setting. Great food! I like Caprise Sandwich my Wife loves the Breakfast Bagel. The ice beverages and deserts are excellent too. There is plenty of free public parking and free EV charging (use the Shell recharge app) 1/2 block away at the Old Dunedin City Hall. The Earl Grey Latte is very tasty too.

Fantastic food! I had the bacon egg and cheese everything bagel. Came with tomato slice, arugula and cucumber slices and was a perfect combination. I also had a Hazelnut Latte which was great!

The pistachio cake is very good-light and fluffy.
The flourless chocolate cake is super decadent and great for chocolate lovers.
It was a perfect day for an iced coffee ☕️
