Cafe coffee shop in Christchurch

“Having climbed here 2 years now, this place definitely deserves a great review. The facility is well designed with the main bouldering area having a comprehensive variety of climbing sets that get regularly rotated out with fresh ones by the route setters. There's a gym, plenty of hangboards, additional training area, spray wall, moonboard, circuit board, yoga space, cafe and even a fun climbing play area for kids called blocland. The cafe sitting area is up a flight of stairs that overlook the climbs and an adequate selection of food and beverages. Toilets are clean and personal storage cubbies aplenty.. although they can definitely be full up on busy days. I guess you can see all this details in a couple of pictures but what you can't experience without being there yourself is the friendly and accommodating staff and the very encouranging and welcoming community of regular climbers that just makes this a top locale. Closing at 10pm is a boon for many with family commitments after regular work hours.”

“Great place to grab a delicious coffee and go for a beach walk ! Coffee blend is fantastically good and nice they multiple options including non dairy milk, such as coconut, almond, oat , soy ! Love their coffee! Don’t be put off by the long queues on the weekends and public holidays, as they are quite efficient and turnaround is usually very fast. Owners always welcome customers with smile and make feel everyone welcome.”

“Olive was absolutely tremendous, she was so kind and caring with a great energy and service she made my day would really recommend going as definitely will be thank you olive.”

“An adorable cafe, with delicious food, nice atmosphere and great service and delicious coffee. All the important things.”

“I have never eaten at this place as I usually order their food on Uber eats. Today i made my order but they had forgotten my drink. I rang and spoke to the manager asking for a refund. He was unable to do this and said he would get back to me about what he would do. Within the next 20 mins, he had delivered my drink himself and gave me another one for free. I just want to say how thankful I am to him and his staff for being so kind as to go out of his way to personally deliver the drinks himself. Not to mention, the food is amazing! I would highly recommend this place to others!”

“I totally endorse the positive comments. Sarah (or SJ as I now know her) may well be the best barista I have chanced upon. She simply makes the best coffee without question. Extremely efficient. Knows my name, knows my car, knows my coffee of choice. She knows where I am in the line. I don't have to order, I simply sit down, converse with her and it's all done. It's like being Norm on Cheers (for those of that dynasty). Absolutely brilliant. I travel from Lincoln just for the friendly face, fantastic service and good banter. I am now waiting for the batch of coffee and walnut muffins to greet me as I frequent the establishment once again ..”

“Great cafe in Waikuku. Good choice of freshly made food in the cabinet. We had the salmon quiche and chicken filo - both were excellent. Coffee was good too. Worth a stop on SH1.”

“Visited today for a cup of coffee and foods. Very busy but staff served me kindly. Many choice of foods and coffee was hot. This little cafe is managed as I always see the staff cleaning every corner of the cafe. Recommended.”

“Super delicious！We ordered the Ed breakfast，you can choose the egg either boiled or fried. All stuff are crispy and yummy. Highly recommend ：）”

“My Cycling friends and l call into Robert Harris in Lincoln at least once a week we all rate the Coffee food and quick friendly service so quick etc I certainly think this place is better than many others in the area I'd be comfortable taking any of my friends to this Cafe . Simply the Best !! Janice T”

“Gorgeous breakfast and super friendly team. Busy for Fathers Day but they were helpful and served as fast as possible. Great meals and coffee.”

On the plate at Chats Bar & Cafe, the idea is burger‑led and well judged. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Fries and sides round things out neatly. Serve sizes show solid value. Pricing...

“Since rediscovering TBB&C it is now our come to place for our coffees and scones. The staff are super friendly, courteous and accommodating. Our wee Ruby already knows the way when out walking where she gets spoilt by the staff with a treat ( so good when visiting and animals are shown affection) Thank you”

“Delicious food and fantastic coffee!”

“Friendly staff, a nice clean store and great prices. What else could you ask for?”

“Really good coffee. Put your phone number in the tablet and build up coffee purchases until you get a freebee. Awesome service and a modern industrial vibe to the place. It smells amazing in the mornings.”

“The staff member was very friendly and welcoming and my food came out quickly! It was excellent - I got the chicken souvlaki as well as baklava. The restaurant is nice inside and has Greek charm.”

“Best coffee in Christchurch! Whenever I’m back visiting Christchurch I always come here for a flatwhite and a focaccia sandwich. Delicious. Sorry I ate the food before taking a photo.”

“Absolutely love this place! Hands down the best coffee in Christchurch—maybe even the world. The team is always in great spirits and incredibly efficient at getting your coffee just right. Their baked goods are also top-notch! You can text in your order for convenience, or relax in the outdoor space, which is perfect if you’ve got a toddler in tow”

“A lovely place to relax for an hour with all the cats with a Good coffee. They do such good work for their resident cats and their cats who are looking for a loving new home”

“Aside from their amazing coffee (and seasonal drinks), this is the only coffee spot that offers lactose free milk! Even bigger cafes don't do that. Imrpessive! ❤️”

“The host breathes hospitality. Their warmth embraces you the moment you enter. The drinks are incredible experiences, and the food sings in your mouth. Don't be fooled by it's location or appearance, this is a must try in Christchurch, especially if you love Ethiopean. They cater very well towards plant based, gluten free, and lactose free diets.”

“Fabulous! We both really enjoyed our lunch. The meat was lovely but the roast vegetables were outstanding. It was so delicious we bought cabinet desserts to take home (also really great) and a couple of meals for another day. Outstanding value and we both loved that we were supporting a great cause as well. We will be back!”

“Perfect coffee I’ve ever had. Quite strong and rich but not sharp. Really tasty. I love their coffee.”

“Lovely cafe. Good selection of brunch options including vegan meals. Coffee is also very good. Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch.”

“Excellent coffee, and if you're a fan of Carrot Cake, theirs is the best I have ever tried!”

“Fantastic little spot. A really great cafe with friendly staff, good food, and bloody good coffee. They're dog friendly so take Brewster along and hope he behaves. If he does, he may even receive a treat. Woof woof!”

“Great food and great service with very nice coffee, not much else to say, limited seating but great pricing and along the tram line so get a good view too, definitely recommend”

“Beautifully presented and delicious food, calm, peaceful atmosphere and friendly service :)”
