Had a very nice Sunday brunch for three adults. Great coffee, food and welcoming staff. Ciabatta toast and spreads were beautiful and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The place was warm and homely and the price was right - couldn't ask for more.
We visit Backstone at least once a fortnight, for breakfast and we really enjoy it. It is our go to place for breakfast dates. The wait staff are very professional and friendly. Would recomend to all AAAA+++++
The food here is above average for a cafe-style meal, but unfortunately they are let down by their less than attentive service. We ordered the salt and pepper squid salad and the chicken sandwich. The quality of ingredients and mix of flavours was excellent. The squid came with a mojito mayo which was outstanding. The chips with the chicken sandwich would have to be fairly up there in terms of "best chips in Dunedin". We were wanting a coffee after our lunch and although we waited for at least 15 minutes, no one came near our table - well they did of course, to take orders from other people, but did not clear our plates or ask if we needed anything else. I find this frustrating and common to so many restaurants in Dunedin. On the whole though, the food is worth it, so will make this a regular spot when in the area.
