Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Christchurch

“Excellent food with OK service. Kitchen is typically very busy at lunch time so be prepared to wait a little longer than most cafes but the wait is worth it. Coffee is excellent and service for coffee is quick. Recommend the cooked meals and range of slices available. I would eat here every couple of months that I visit Rangiora and it never disappoints. Parking is typically good but heaps of extra on the road.”

“Chance upon this very nice cafe while holidaying in South Island…enjoyed the foods and love the coffee.”

“we went in to this cafe for a coffee tea and some food. A group of about 6 of us would have chosen scones. but they had sold out of their cheese scones and said they would make some more for us hungry bikers. WELL they were the size of a very large muffin and were so soft and tasty. we were all a bit blown away. Thanks we will be back Helen”

“Have stayed at this hotel many times and I have to say it definitely is one of my favorite hotels to stay in lovely staff lovely rooms comfortable beds and spa jet bath in our room, the only thing I would recommend is getting the place fitted out with sound deading can hear people in room next to you other than that the restaurant food is pretty awesome, my main highlight everytime is the buffet breakfast it is top notch”

Silver Dolphin Fish n Chips@ Parklands runs with a classic fish‑and‑chips menu and a relaxed pace. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Fries and sides round things out neatly.

“Excellent pies, great recommendation. Great variety of pies and still had mince and cheese at midday. $31 for three pies, and three Chelsea buns.”

“Good customer service and nice food. This was originally a 4 stars review but since my feedback is valued by the business owner, which shows that they really care about their customer, that I’m “upgrading” this to 5 stars. Well done!”

“It's a well-established bakery, likely bustling during peak hours. The decaf soy latte paired nicely with almond meal-spiced pastries. While not modern or trendy, the place offers ample seating and park space for weekday (visited around 3pm) coffee and treats.”

Belfast Food Bar keeps things classic fish‑and‑chips and focused on flavour. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Fillets arrive fresh and the fry stays clean. The team keeps things friendly and organised.

Miss Peppercorn 花椒小姐 favours a pan‑Asian comfort mix with clear flavours. Value feels fair for the quality. Portions are generous yet well judged. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Best coffee in town and the staff are incredibly friendly too. I love that you can order your coffee ahead and pick it up too! Lovely atmosphere and modern decor inside. Highly recommend this cafe.”

“Great cafe with a lot of seats. Nice and warm inside when it's a bit cold out. Staff are friendly, food is good. Looks nice but isn't too over the top either.”

“Had the biscoff latte! Pictures looked great so thought i should try it! Was very good! Would recommend swinging by!”

“Stumbled upon ten27 while waiting for my aunty to finish her dentist appointment, and what a lovely find. This cute café has a great selection of cabinet food. The teapots were such a nice touch (and big—definitely a bonus), and I loved the glass cups as well. We really enjoyed the scones and the savory muffin—both were fresh and delicious. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, with lots of smiles. A charming spot I’d happily return to.”

“A seagull stole my bacon, but the owner was incredibly generous and replaced it for me. Absolutely delicious food, excellent staff and a lovely setting for a late breakfast. Highly recommended ❤️”

“My partner and I have been going to Sushi Ya for 3 months now, every weekend. The customer service from Jack has never disappointed us. He truly goes above and beyond for us and fellow customers. He never fails too put a smile on our face and we always leave the store itching too come back for more. The food is by far the best sushi we have ever had, we’ve never had a bad experience here. Thank you Sushi Ya but most importantly thank you Jack for always making our experience a better one. You never fail to disappoint, keep doing what you’re doing! the world is better with people like you around.”

“Delicious food, great for kids or adults. Lots of nice fresh salads. Salsas are really good too. Friendly staff.”

“Went here for a friends birthday dinner and it exceeded expectations! Fabulous service from Georgia and Molly, and even better food! Drinks were lovely and will definitely be coming back!”

“An absolute must-visit! The food is simply superb, with standout dishes like the lamb shank, tender and full of rich flavor, the perfectly crisp squid, and the irresistibly crispy pork bites. Every bite is a delight!”

“The food was delicious. I had hare and my wife had fillet steak. The service was great. Ryan and the other waiter were very helpful, attentive and polite - great service! This is our second time at this restaurant and we will be back again and have already recommended to friends.”

“Good experience and quality yummy fresh food. Nelly, the waitress, provided wonderful service and recommended dishes that exceeded our expectations! Everything is beautiful and will definitely go back again with friends.”

“生煎包 is highly recommended, good taste. Would appreciate if they could advise the portion of dishes when customer placing the order. Portion is big, we order too much that couldn’t finish. Overall dining experience is good.”

“Highly recommend! Amazing food, lots of cabinet food as well as the menu. Great service and nice coffee. Won't go anywhere else now. Eggs Benedict is amazing.”

“Speights went out of their way to make a triple birthday dinner super special for my sons. They allowed us to go in earlier and set up decorations and put the 3 cakes in the chiller. They supplied little plates and napkins for them to be served on after dinner Although there was close to 30 people eating the waitress had it all under control and the meals came to the table quickly and all the meals were delicious, with generous sizes.”

“Great store and staff here. Sad to hear that it's being closed down.”

“Service was great, emailed stationery list to them , fast response to email and order was ready that afternoon to collect. Checkout staff were also friendly and helpful. Will definitely do school stationery shop through these guys again. Thanks”

“My hubby and I really enjoyed our delicious entree and mains this evening. My calamari was so tender and the beef cheeks were deliciously melt in the mouth. So great to have this lovely restaurant in our neighbourhood. We will be back.”

“Went to the Cust Country Pub for dinner last night with some friends. Had a lovely time. The staff were all very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Nothing was a bother for them. The food was great, from the entrees to the desserts. I had the fish and chips which was served with yummy chips and a lovely green salad and was unfortunately more than I could eat ( and believe me I tried). I would recommend this pub to anyone who wants a reasonably priced good meal in a comfortable friendly atmosphere. Well done to the staff and management.”
