Airspresso is an airport café in the Dunedin International Airport terminal at 25 Miller Road, Momona, and the website describes it as a bespoke airport café with an aviation theme. The walls are hung with vintage aviation memorabilia and biographies of local pioneer and wartime pilots. The café serves freshly roasted New Zealand speciality coffee, in-house baked goods, deli cabinet salads and filled breads, with an à la carte menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu includes burgers such as the Halloumi We Go and the Buffalo Bruce, Butter ME UP streaky bacon on buttered toast, and smashed avocado on sourdough or multigrain. There are also potato wedges, beef mince nachos and fries with a choice of sauce, and a small list of Central Otago wines and beers.
Airspresso is run by a team with hospitality experience, and the website says its founders combine that with a passion for aviation. The café is a short walk from the departures lounge, so it suits travellers passing through the airport, and it also works as a stop for people meeting a flight. Our pick at Dunedin Airport for a coffee and a burger before a flight.
