They do a great ristretto and flat white , will have to come back and try the food next time!
Serves Switch Espresso . Good coffee for the area with aeropress , pourover , and siphon methods available – if you're not in a hurry. A nice shop overall.
Modern interior , traditional breakfast options, some glutenfree cakes but they look very unhealthy. Wega coffee machine , unfortunately the "barista" needs a training as the coffee is burnt.
Wow, these guys really, really know how to make a simple and perfect eggs benedict . Yum.
excellent espresso , good food, nice place
They do have smoothies and yes, they are amazing. Also love that they switch up the menu a bit from time to time!
Reputedly the best coffee in Christchurch right now! Great cafe , and I can recommend the delicious seafood chowder .
Best coffee in Christchurch - No contest.
The coffee adventure was interesting and much fun!
delicious scons, the coffee was nice toO(∩_∩)O
Entree size pork spareribs ! Tre tasty
You can't go wrong with the eggs benedict . Unless you spill it on yourself or something.
Great coffee , but there is always a queue, worth a little wait
Great coffee and food , but don't come here if you want to book a table, they don't take bookings :(
Food is likely very good, but the kitchen closes at 2:30pm, so I had to go elsewhere for food!!
Great coffee and food
Best coffee and delicious food!
Coffee is good!
Poached eggs turned out half boiled. Bread was too tough it was a chore trying to chew through it.
Egg florentine is the best!
Ethiopian single origin coffee tastes like raisins .
Creme Brûlée a 5/10 not exactly bad, but not super smooth
Too crowded for some reason, WiFi didn’t work. Coffee was fine
Great coffee
So. Goddamn. Slow. Don't come in on a weekend unless you like waiting 20 mins for coffee or an hour for food.
Bad service!
Best place to go for a real banana smoothie and bid breakfast or just anythink is yum!!! - Alex Powell
