amazing place! Order a cake and a coffee , play pinball , watch burgers transporting through the tubes and get some free water through their sewing machine . Pure entertainment! *****

I really fall in love with this coffee i like every details especially the ways that food comes to the costumer but the latte wasn't good but totally everything was amazing i want to go every day.

Lucy Davidson

Everything about this place is awesome! Not just the ideal of sliders via a Shute - staff were so friendly and great little quirky details to notice during your visit all around the restaurant !

Frank Castle

Fantastic flat white . Funky, clean place with a good sense of whimsy with bookcases that roll back to reveal doorways, a sewing machine that doubles as the water dispenser and a pneumatic tube system .

Darrell Webster

Amazing cafe . A must-drop-in spot. I like coffee with flavor you can see. A small corner room displays their roasting machine through a glass door. Water fountain built into a Singer sewing machine .

Darren Davis

Still one of my favourite places in Christchurch. I particularly recommend the Super Choice Bro breakfast . Opens at 7am every day of the week but get in early as it gets crazy busy.

Hazel Lam

The atmosphere is great! Just the portion of coffee is a bit small than standard size of regular, also for the large size of flatwhite not coffee enough, u can add another shot with $0.5 added.

David Kennedy

Had a great, well priced breakfast ! Quick service , atmosphere plus in a heritage building! Highly recommended

Andre Siregar

I love the black coffee here -- bold and chocolate taste. Beans are freshly prepared. Highly recommend the C1000 coffee beans

Vani

Amazing flat white , great cakes and super funky interior, a must visit in Christchurch. One of the best cafes I've been too.

M. Scott

Great for breakfast and lunch . Lots of vegetarian and vegan options . Breakfast burrito with jackfruit is amazing. Great place to work . Fast and free unlimited WiFi .

Flat whites are really good. If you order a pot of tea you get to take some leaves home in a wee matchbox. Nice touches all round!

Tine Wanderlust

Best place to go and read, have a tea or eat. Great food and drinks. Miniburguers that go over the hidraulic pipes are OVER PRICE, recomend getting french fries instead!

Lewy Jones

The water stations are an IQ test (I failed). Ignore the three large black knobs and go directly to the tiny switch beneath. Or look hopeless until some helps you

Helen Giddens

Loved my bacon and avocado bagel and had a pot of delicious earl grey tea with the added extra of a matchbox of tea leaves to take home too :)

Lewy Jones

Excellent vegetarian , vegan and free-from options and lots of opportunities to tailor your meal

Darren Davis

Great food and speedy service but get in early to get a table as it is very popular. Order and pay at the counter.

Eva Zakoucka

Atmosphere, desserts and coffee to die for. Also the retro caffeine level testing machine :)

Cool place, funky water fountains ( still is a sewing machine , sparkling is a dentists well ) arty and good vibe. Check out the taps on the toilet cisterns

Zi Shaw

Coffee is great, fab vibe, friendly service , great breakfast and heaps of vegan options !

Alex Taylor

as most coffee shops in NZ the coffee is fairly inconsistent I wouldn't rave about C1 coffee the location and venue is probably the deal breaker, service is fairly average a few staff wreck it

M Hansen

Free wifi , great coffee , beautiful interior . Christchurch' best?

Lewis S.

Man, this place is amazing! Great good, great coffee , great atmosphere, some super cool features and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Anna Jasinski

Good flat whites with soy milk , however to me it had a hint of goat flavour to it. Weird. If you order a Chemex coffee , you get the Chemex and have to prepare it yourself, did not expect or like that.

Matt Rowles

The building is an old heritage site and looks sick, get on the hash browns ! Only gripe is, they should do table service as the line can get pretty long. Food was great though!

Marília Lagger

Very good coffee ! Great value for money . Scramble eggs awesome

Joanna

Very cool design and atmosphere, unfortunately bad coffee (burnt) and boring menu (eggs on toast , eggs on toast , eggs on toast )

Tommie Nordholm

Really nice place. Perfect for a cup of coffee and some work. Free wifi as well . Best place in the area indeed.

Carol Fung

I love their mango shake , its delicious! And the fritters ! The sliders come in the mail tubes and check out the bookshelf!

Joey Carmello

My favorite cafe in New Zealand. Has it all, ambiance, WiFi , food, great coffee .

Neel Hajare

The pneumatic tube experience for ordering burgers and fries is really cool, but neither the food nor coffee is actually all that great. Also beware Chemex is DIY

Ms Helene

Good not great soy latte , seasonal fruit plate $12, friendly quick service and loud rock music

Simple Discoveries

You can't go wrong with the sliders via pneumatic tube ! And the fries aren't shabby either!

Jose Rodriguez

Great coffee and espresso but I can do without the water fountain that makes everyone feel challenged

Hank

If you order sliders or curly fries , they are delivered by a vacuum tube system . And the bathroom is behind a hidden, automatic bookshelf door.

KK

Loved the drinks and vibes. Plus they were playing a Harry Potter book on tape in the bathroom , so that's a win.

Michal Krasnodebski

Fantastic flat white , one of the best I've had in NZ.

GregWasThere

Very nice place. Loved the Chicken pie . Internet is sadly not the best though. Difficult to work there

Alex Gaio

Pneumatic fries — literally! You can get them sent to your table in the tubes snaking around the café .

Leo Gatti

Wifi free good food and coffee chch is getting better and better

Jackson Tsai

Great breakfast joint & beautifully renovated!

Peter B.

Great place, excellent coffee , friendly staff . Highly recommended.

Oliver Ng

Hipster heaven. Burger delivery alone is worth it

Yoav Segal

A delicious coffee with a surprise at the end

Fred Turkington

Crazy good food. Whimsical secret bookcase door, water-dispensing sewing machine .

Tim Lucas

5/5 for decor, 2/5 for the burgers

Joshua Haftel

Best coffee I had in chch, nice atmosphere.

????️ella????????☘️
