Merino Country Cafe Gifts - Omarama

Good to see they had some non-cow pies. I was really hungry and craving a pie so I coughed up $9 for a chicken and mushroom pie. For that price, the most expensive hot pie I have ever purchased, and I would expect it to be the greatest pie I have ever eaten, even better than the $6.50 amazing Fairlie pie I had the prior day. But it didn’t compare in terms of taste and texture, and the bottom wasn’t crispy. Would have been more appropriate if the price was under $6.50.

Stopped by for lunch and found the space in doors to be open and spacious. Lunch was a mix of cabinet food with a limited menu selection. The retail area is good with a great selection. Worthwhile stopping to have a look.

Wonderful shop to browse and buy some gifts and thing for yourself. I thought the prices were reasonable. There is a cafe here where you can get yummy things to eat. I thought I had taken more pictures here to show off the shop. Bargin prices on t-shirts from kids through to adults.

We went to this cafe on our way to Queenstown. The carrot cake is very delicious, the pie is so yummy and big, what's most amazing is the coffee is definitely the best coffee I have ever had. The staff is very nice and friendly. So we came back again to have the lunch there on our way back home. We loved it. So satisfied.

A small place for a quick stop throughout your journey. They offer food, drinks and coffee, as well as a large selection of souvenirs and wool garments.
