Fuel To Fly

Fantastic coffees including soy flat white from the Barista sporting dreadlocks, great service, really friendly and on the way back out they even let us try the wine before buying. Lovely smiley staff. Remember, this is an airport so nothings ever going to be perfect but these people were great. Thanks.

Great coffee. Good ham & cheese omelette, the hash cakes served with eggs Benedict had ice in the middle of them - maybe process gap in the kitchen. Cabinet contained a fine range of sandwiches and breakfast items including croissants

Fuel to Fly offers a decent experience if you temper your expectations for an airport café. Located before security, it’s important to note that their menu availability can be extremely limited. During our visit, key items such as avocado, halloumi, and chicken were unavailable, forcing us to ask, “What do you actually have?” While this initially set a low tone for the visit, we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and quality of the food they did offer. The scrambled eggs on toast and the burger were both sizable and surprisingly delicious, far exceeding our adjusted expectations. The coffee was satisfactory, meeting the standard for New Zealand, though not remarkable. Another positive was the comfortable seating, which provided a pleasant spot to relax while waiting. Overall, while the extensive menu might mislead you into thinking there are abundant options, be prepared for a pared-down selection. If you stick with what’s available, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by the quality. Fuel to Fly may not deliver on its full menu, but for an airport café, it offers a satisfying meal and a comfortable space to unwind before your flight.

Don’t usually review run of the mill service transactions but was so impressed with the service at Fuel To Fly that I just had to do it. Both the young guy at the counter that served us, and the chef that delivered our meals were professional, courteous and friendly. More than that, they cared, and took obvious pride in their work. Such refreshing interactions from staff in what I have noted is an increasingly jaded industry. A credit to the industry and the airport. The meals were tasty, and the coffee hot and flavourful. Great start to the day!

Perfect coffees, very clean set up and super friendly team. Perhaps one of the best cheese rolls in Dunedin. Thanks team, you rock
