Wifey Says “Bacon always tastes better in the sun”.

Shawty’s cafe sits in the middle of town on the green and we sat outside at a table nicely sunny for Wifey with some shade for me . . Happy Wife Happy Life. Shawty’s did Twizel proud, the food is really nice, serving sizes were...good and the staff are attentive and friendly. Ten out of Ten Shawty’s, we will be back.More

Honeymoon Stop

Glad we stumbled across this Cafe! The food was great! Breakfast/ lunch was so good we couldn't stop thanking the staff (they were great too). Waffle fries were perfect and not burnt and the coffee? Was my highlight. Thank you!

Good food and outdoor area

Cafe has a good outdoor area which we enjoyed on a sunny day. There was a limited range of food in the cabinet but all look good my wife and I both ordered from the cabinet. I had a large pork apple and fennel sausage...roll and my wife a ciabatta ham and cheese sandwich both were good. Good service place is licensed would go back.More

Delicious Zucchini & Corn Fritters!

Great spot for a quick lunch on the way to Queenstown. The fritters were yum as were the halloumi sandwich’s and mozzarella & tomato sandwich. Waffle fries and a glass of cold Zeffer apple crumble cider finished off the meal perfectly!

Lovely Breakfast

We just stopped by Twizel on our way back to Christchurch from Queenstown to grab any kind of breakfast and we found this little gem of a cafe. I loved the eggs benedict and my husband and our friends enjoyed their food as well. The...staff was amazing and service was quick. Overall a very nice experience for a stopover meal. :)More
