"One of the best coffee experiences I’ve had in New Zealand! The flat white here is exceptionally smooth and flavorful—better than many I’ve tried in Melbourne. The café’s environment is bright, clean, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax. Their eggs Benedict is absolutely delicious, with perfectly poached eggs and a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. The fried chicken is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. You can tell the ingredients are incredibly fresh, which makes every bite even more enjoyable. To top it off, the staff are super friendly and attentive, adding to the overall fantastic experience. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for great coffee and food!"

"LOVE coming here! Food is always delicious and quick, the best part is that the service is excellent. We don’t always bring our doggo but I equally love that Qubed is dog friendly and has water bowls and a tap to easily refill. Thank you Qubed!"
