About Black Lab Coffee Roasters Queenstown

Cabin 7 at Frankton’s Country Lane is where visiting coffee obsessives go to reset their standards. No paper takeaway cups in sight—house rules demand you sit and drink from proper ceramic. Touring baristas drop in for the three-bean piccolo flight, while travelers haul away bags of fresh Tāhuna roasts to brew back home. Across the walkway, a warm bite from The Remarkable Cookie settles right beside the saucer.

  • Sit-Down Philosophy: A strict no-disposable-cup policy encouraging visitors to slow down and drink on-site from proper ceramic.
  • Curated Piccolo Flights: Multi-bean tastings featuring light roasts, dark roasts, and the house roast served side by side.
  • In-House Roasts: Freshly roasted whole beans bagged on-site, including the layered, clean-finishing Tāhuna blend.

  • Comparative Piccolo Tasting Flights

    Baristas calibrate multi-bean flights featuring light single origins, dark roasts, and the house blend side by side in dedicated ceramic service.

    When I first arrived I ordered the piccolo flight, which is 3 piccolos on 3 different beans, a light roast single origin, the house blend, and a dark roast single origin. All 3 were full of flavour and prepared perfectly.

  • Artisan V60 Pour-Over Extractions

    Single-origin pour-overs are brewed to order on V60 drippers with dialed-in balance, prominent body, and distinct varietal notes.

    In 2 weeks of traveling in the South Island I finally found the place with V60 pour over coffee! And oooo boy it was tasty. Really nice balance and strong body.

  • Roastery-Direct Fresh Whole Beans

    Freshly roasted specialty batches like the signature Tāhuna blend are available to take home by the kilo with brewing guidance to recreate cafe results.

    I’m headed home happy with 1.5 kilos of beans to see what I can reproduce.

  • Sustainable Zero-Waste Jar Refills

    Customers can bring their own jars directly to the bar for fresh whole-bean refills, cutting out single-use packaging.

    I also really appreciate that I can take my own jar in to have my beans filled—such a great touch!

    Please note: NO take away. Take your time and sip your cup on-site.

  • Comparative Piccolo Tasting Flights

    Guests can explore extraction differences through a three-cup piccolo flight that places light-roast single origins, dark roasts, and the house blend side by side.

  • Zero-Waste BYO Jar Refills

    Coffee drinkers can bring their own reusable glass jars to the counter to have freshly roasted whole beans weighed and filled straight from the roaster.

  • Barista-Led Extraction Guidance

    The baristas walk guests through precise brewing variables, explaining roast characteristics and pour-over methods so customers can replicate cafe-grade results at home.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on finding the cabin, the sit-in policy, and food pairings. Book your visit to experience Queenstown's benchmark coffee.

  • Finding Cabin 7 & Parking

    Cabin 7 can be tricky to spot when you first arrive at Country Lane Retail Village. Head to the left side of the parking lot where the roastery is tucked back among the village shops.

  • Plan to Sit Down (No Takeaway Cups)

    Black Lab has a strict no-takeout policy with zero disposable paper cups. Plan to slow down and enjoy your pour-over, flat white, or tasting flight in ceramic on-site.

  • Pair with Cookies Across the Lane

    The cabin focuses purely on coffee craft without a kitchen. If you want a sweet bite with your brew, grab a fresh cookie from The Remarkable Cookie directly opposite before pulling up a seat.
