The kitchen at The Hokitika Sandwich Company - Christchurch takes a classic fish‑and‑chips path and lets the food speak. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Portions are generous yet well judged. Fillets arrive fresh and the fry stays clean. Service stays present without fuss.
Honestly one of the best sandwiches! My partner and I went back about a week later for three more! The quality of every single ingredient is top tier! You really can’t go wrong, everything I’ve tried on the menu is phenomenal!
First bite was in Hokitika. So please to see they opened a branch in Chch. Filter coffee was strong. We ordered 2 x half loaf. Veggie and the New Yorker. Packed with filling and taste amazing. Highly recommend. Went in April 2025 after 1.30pm and they were busy.
Get a load of sandwich this place is unbelievable. With all of the other sandwich shops popping up with wacky and different new sandwich creations this shop goes the opposite way. All of the sandwiches are as classic as you get with the most unbelievably high quality ingredients. I never thought that a sandwich with meat, cheese, egg, and salad could be so good but by god they've done it. Definitely a must have for lovers of the traditional sandwich
Came here to drink a coffee and sort out a few things of my personal to-do list and stayed the whole morning. The staff is super friendly, the coffee is great and their taste in music is marvelous. Toilets are also in pristine clean condition, which usually says a lot about how the business is run. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone who just wants to grab a quick snack or coffee or who wants to chill out in a chilled environment for a while. Thanks guys!
The nearby trendy coffeehouse had lines out both doors so I wandered in to Hokitika and had one of the best sandwiches in years. This food rivals anything you'll get on the other West Coast (San Francisco / Seattle). The king fish sandwich was extraordinary - get one. Super fresh tasting flaky white fish with cream cheese, medium sized salty capers, mild red onion and butter lettuce. The 'half' size is quite satisfying. The texture, coverage, ingredient quality and ratio are all on point, and the bread - a crispy Ciabatta type loaf baked fresh daily - is superb. I liked it so much I bought a half loaf to take out the door. The cafe space itself is bright, naturally lit, clean and airy with good sight lines and comfortable seats. Music was 'classic hits', but at an appropriate background volume. Chilled water is in the corner cooler and a collection of eclectic drink ware and spoons are available for your coffee. The coffee, incidentally, is the equal of the best Christchurch has to offer. But don't take my word for it. Service was friendly and helpful despite it being snarlingly early. I can see why Hokitika Sandwich is expanding and encourage anyone with an interest in well crafted food to pop in. Personally, I can't wait to return.
First time visit and with an extremely appetising looking menu I couldn’t decide on what to get. Was recommended by the friendly chap at the counter to get the Coaster. Now this had to be one of the tastiest sandwiches I’ve had in a while and it’s presentation looked like a sandwich you might find somewhere in Europe. The bread was soft but sturdy holding all the filling in. As for the filling there was a generous portion of prosciutto, cheddar, greens and a fried egg (with a slightly soft yolk) - a perfect breakfast sandwich that was extremely satisfying For the portions, they make to a half or a full. I went with the full and unfortunately my eyes were bigger than my stomach as I really had to pack the second half away - something to keep in mind when ordering as these are some pretty hefty sandwiches All in all had a great experience and now have another reason to revisit Christchurch
Great sandwich experience. Friendly and helpful staff greet you and show you how you can have your sandwich, half or full. Delicious fresh bread and plentiful fillings.
