TESTIMONIALS

We just loved our stop here after flying in from Nelson. Lovely eggs Benny, coffee, staff was friendly and welcoming, and service was prompt! The patio was also gorgeous so we sat outside on a nice sunny day. Would highly recommend this spot as a must stop if you’re in Christchurch 🙂

As a coffee addict and entering without a good appetite this was surprisingly good! It's all about the little things eg. Bacon was perfectly cooked with little fat and more meat in it, them being careful with covid-19, the seats were comfy. They opened my appetite and I came out smiling 😊. The waiters were doing excellent service and food was good. Worth my money!!

Was fabulous to go for lunch with my gluten free bestie and have her spoilt for choice for once 😁
Have been here a few times myself and have never been disappointed, great menu with lots for vegetarians and gluten free customers. Always beautifully cooked and presented.

The food was delicious and service was really good, although the rosti was soggy which was disappointing. It was a cold day outside and inside and there was no music playing, which at a times it felt like other tables can hear your conversations. Not a bad experience at all, but just little things that can be improved ✨🙏🏼

Coffee was great, extra shots, had omelette and husband had eggs Benny both spot on. Suggest toast with eggs Benny would be my only comment.
Worth the travel to get here. Place looks nothing from the outside, so don’t judge from that perspective. Would go back.

Delicious vegan and vegetarian options, just wish they wouldn't charge so much for alternative milks. Service is fantastic. Can get very busy and noisy at peak times. Nice outdoor space for sunny days.
Vegetarian options: Delicious veg options, plenty of things to choose from too
Nicole W
The staff here are wonderful. Even when packed and short staffed, they show their passion in fantastic service and food.
Dog friendly outdoor area, which is also smoke-free, with well kept facilities.

We used the GrabOne deal which got us a breakfast item with a coffee for $22 and it was definitely great value for money. Food was yum and the staff were very friendly.

I really enjoyed the relaxing and quiet space of this cafe. It's very suitable for seniors, couples and families with pets to chill here. Indoor and outdoor seats available. It kind of looks ordinary on the outside, but actually quite spacious when you enter the cafe. Really nice compared to some fancy busy and crowded cafes that try to maximize ever inch of their floor.
Food and drink is good. Staffs are also friendly. Recommended!
