“So glad I stopped here. I had the farmers breakfast and it was worth every $. Huge serving and it helped me get through the day. The toast that comes with this dish is crispy yet fluffy, no hard rock toasted ciabatta. The coffe was great too. Loved the atmosphere and there were many regulars. Will return.”

“We are here for my father’s birthday, brought a home-made cake. The friendly staff gave us candles and offered to put cake inside the fridge for us, that’s really lovely. Also introduced the food to us. And food is very good and special! Highly recommended”

“Delightful little Cafe on good street. I was quite surprised to find a Cafe in this quiet area tucked away from the main street! The iced coffee was delicious, the breakfast we had was good portioned and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the sausage and bacon as they were cooked perfectly whereas some places quite often burn these or are quite oily. The lady was very nice and served us with a smile!”

“Huge shoutout to the amazing staff. We're regulars (Hot chocs and cotto pizza) and I just want to say how fantastic everyone is. The food & drinks are delicious, the ambiance top notch (love the new look), but it's the staff that make the place extra awesome. Special shout out to everyone yesterday and today! (Sep 18-19)”

“Boutique coffeeshop tucked in between two tramway lines and a few other landmark venues... Superb coffee.... The biggest croissants that fill an entire plate... Cozy, quaint, casual, soothing tunes, arches and wooden interior adds to the ambience of this petit delight... Two thumbs up!!”

“Great little pit stop about a half hour north of Christchurch. Home style food, lovely staff, great BLT, good coffee.”

“One of our favourite cafes, always friendly, great food and a lovely setting with a big garden.”

“This cafe is absolutely gorgeous! The outdoor seating area is such a treat – you even get a free concert from the local birds! I tried the seafood chowder and the Morning smoothie, and both were amazing. Huge shoutout to Sophie for the super friendly and professional service! This place totally made my day.”

“Popped in this cafe after a long time away from Christchurch. The ownership changed. So did the Italian atmosphere and the furniture looks a bit tired. But the coffee is still good and they have a good and varied selection of cabinet food. Service is impeccable and super friendly.”

“Oddfellows has consistently good coffee, and a delicious selection of cabinet food. Everything I have tried from here has been fantastic, they never disappoint! Having a gluten free scone or similar baked item would be an asset”

“Nice place with nice view of Golf course but the menu changed, no Egg royal etc...anymore”

“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.”

“Scott and his team at Redcliffs Auto Centre did a great job for me on a recent WoF inspection. He shuffled his busy appointment schedule to accommodate my requests and then finished the work promptly and efficiently. His shop will be my “go to” preference for future repairs and maintenance. Highly recommended”

“Our favorite cafe we stopped at on our whole trip. The vibes are cozy, the views of Christchurch are wonderful, and the food and drinks were delicious. 10/10 must stop here.”
