The Batch Cafe
Invercargill's most recommended brunch spot, beloved by locals for its miso sweet potato and house-made scones.
Located at 173 Spey Street, this brunch spot is frequently recommended by Tripadvisor and local food guides. The Spinoff's 2026 local guide named it the top choice for breakfast. Signatures include miso sweet potato, scones, granola, and brown butter cookies, alongside light meals like Vietnamese pancakes. The kitchen usually closes at 14:00, after which mainly coffee and cabinet food are available. It fills up quickly after opening, so arriving early on weekends is advised. Located on the east side of the town center, about a ten-minute walk away.
