Coffee good taste, beautiful but not hot enough, food very average, my partner order breakfast bowl but chef forgot egg and I had to asked for him. One girl (staff) not smiley, slow and no service mind
We loved Black Betty Cafe so much we went twice for breakfast while we were in Christchurch! They have a nice menu selection, delicious coffees, and the menu is very allergen friendly. The atmosphere is great too! Genuinely zero complaints… give it a go!
Black Betty Café offers generous portions at reasonable prices, and the service is impressively quick. It’s a fantastic spot for brunch. I especially recommend the Eggs Benny—the house-made hollandaise is delicious. A cozy café that’s perfect for a quick catch-up.
Visiting from the US. This place was delicious and unique. Order at the counter, find a table and food brought to you. Employees are friendly and answered any questions we had. Ordered following Beef brisket - such great subtle flavors. All the Goods Stacy's Stack - great combinations of tasty.
Beef brisket with the eggs was a very nice combo. My partner enjoyed this alot. Unfortunately we are very fussy with our coffee and it was just a bit acidic this morning. Atmosphere was beautiful. We would definitely find ourselves back there for the food.
They had so many food options!! The eggs Benedict is probably the best i’ve had in Christchurch so far! I appreciate when a cafe makes good hollandaise. The food was so beautiful I couldn’t resist taking pictures of everything haha. They no longer sell pancakes which was disappointing so my friend got the waffles, the toppings were overwhelming. The mouse is made with Whittaker’s chocolate so it tasted so good. They were selling a bunch of non-food items too, including flavoured shots for homemade hot drinks.
Came here twice when we visited Christchurch for 3 days, both times for lunch. Really enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes, it's not often the pancake stack itself is as exciting as their toppings! Their granola mix with fruits and coconut yoghurt was beautifully presented and moorish. Both my visits I ordered the hot spiced blackcurrant, it's a cup of comfort during the cold weather. Look out for the spicy cheese scrolls that are located ontop of their food cabinet. We got one to go after our first visit and came back for more, but unfortunately missed out. They get snapped up quick! Relaxed atmosphere, quirky and spacious interior.
Don’t be fooled by the unassuming frontage of this funky cafe! Once you step inside you are greeted with energetic staff, a large inviting rustic space, delicious smells & a cabinet full of treats! Service was fast, efficient & attentive despite being fairly busy. Delicious coffee & garlic twist was had by me & I’d definitely go back to try something from the extensive menu & spend some more time in this fun space.
