Federal Diner

Absolutely amazing banana bread. It’s enormous so sharing is recommended. Great hot chocolate, eggs on toast, and bacon butty too. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. We’ll be back for sure.

Nicely tucked in a corner, this place serves pretty yummy scones and egg benedict's! Kids' pasta n pizza were wiped out in a flash. Nice ambience with an efficient set of crew!Food: 4/5

Busy public holiday in Wanaka Central, everyone wants a good nosh and java...very happy to be greeted by a friendly staff she has her hands full and more. She made room for us to sit inside and took our caffeine withdrawal seriously. The coffees hit the spot! My vegan toastie was elevated by the savoury granola and my hubby's mushrooms are fried to perfection. Sorry for the influx of Aussie but Federal you handled it with grace! Many many thanks.

Ordered the vegan toastie with gluten free bread and vegan cheese. Yummy and definitely better than average. I also ordered fresh beet juice, small but yummy. Highly recommend. Friendly staff. A bit hidden, in an alley, next to 2 other cafe. It is between two shops.Food: 5/5

The food here was great! The eggs were super well done and the cheese scone was perfect! Highly recommendFood: 5/5

Tucked away in a little alley, it can be slightly hard to find. Reasonable prices for wanaka food scene. Must have - date scones. Fluffy and crispy on the outside. Absolutely delicious.

I always grab a scone when I drive pass. Unfortunately, they can’t keep their standard as usual. On 24 Feb, I bought a coffee and scone to go. The coffee was bitter. About date scone, the staff cut it half and put a big piece of butter into it without even ask am I want it or not. A cool date scone with butter to go? Really? Sorry, I am not a big fans of butter scones. And I couldn’t return the scone because I was driving on the road when I noticed. Dear owner, Please please please keep your high quality and standard like before, keep the good staffs! You was one of the best cafe in Wanaka, don’t ruined it.

Omg Delicious!!!! I'm only sad I can't go back again as everything looked amazing. Went for lunch but the all day brekki also looked great. Also the tea was excellent and date scones yum yum. Great vegetarian options

Very busy, so waited a long time to be served 2 cups of coffee! Our breakfast was eaten before we got them. Beware, takeaway would have been quicker..!

Perhaps the best eggs Benedict in Wanaka or even south island! The cafe is hidden in a small alley and they are one of the few cafes that open real early for breakfast. Service was prompt and quick and the breakfast was really delicious! Coffee was also top notch.
