Cafe in Christchurch

“Went on Sunday for my wife's birthday, not too busy at 6pm, friendly staff, price was a bit high (but not too bad) and the food was delicious. I had the three sausage meal which was good, my wife had the pork belly which was beautifully tender (the crackling was very salty but when drunk with the suggested cider was just right).”

“Ok supermarket, which is well presented. Plenty of car parking and centrally located in Rangiora. Countdown has a good variety of products. Reasonably priced with most of products that you will need. Good customer service at the check outs and reasonably easy to find assistance if you need help. This supermarket is an ok place to get what you need. Nothing brilliant stands out about this Countdown apart from it's a quite new building, so it is has a very good layout inside and outside.”

“Great pub to have a catch up and have a cold beer”

“Me and my wife had lunch at Columbus Coffee Rangiora and really enjoyed it. We ordered Coffee , pasta and large fries the pasta was delicious and the fries were excellent. The staff were polite and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended, we will definitely come again!”

“I stopped by Coffee Culture at lunchtime for a mocha latte, and it’s the best I’ve had so far in Christchurch! I’ve been hooked on mocha drinks ever since a tea-tasting ceremony in Japan, where I had the most unforgettable mocha. The mocha latte here had a well-balanced portion of tea powder, delivering a pure, smooth, and hearty taste—perfect for colder weather. However, the mocha powder didn’t fully dissolve, which was a bit disappointing—definitely could use a better tea whisk. The customer service was fantastic! The staff were super friendly, and I was especially impressed by the person taking orders—patient, welcoming, and greeting everyone with a warm smile. The café is also in a great spot, surrounded by a variety of stores, making it a convenient and enjoyable place to visit. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!”

“I went to have a chat up with my friends today, and this coffee club does make it a fantastic experience! The club sandwich is huge and delicious. Their iced chocolate is also a stand-out with plenty of toppings. The place is spacious and super clean. And the staff are always so friendly. Couldn't ask for more, five stars!”

“We visited La Luna last night and were so impressed! The pork belly was absolutely delicious – perfectly crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. Great value for money and the staff were super friendly.Highly recommended❤️❤️❤️”

“Valentines Hornby is our favourite place to eat! We go at least once a month and cannot fault it. The food is fantastic - a great variety, very fresh, always beautifully cooked, and nicely presented. They often experiment with new dishes but you can rely on the favourites to always be there. The food is always hot and constantly replenished, and there is a great salad bar too. The dessert is amazing! Such a variety, including a chocolate fountain and ice cream machine. I love all the small portion mousses, meringues, cheesecake, hot dishes and the sides, like berries, cream and sauces. The lemon roulade is so good! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service is great too. We cannot praise this place enough - do yourself a favour and check it out! Great value for money too.”

“I just want to give the Deli staff a shout out - they are AWESOME! I regularly pop in to grab something for lunch and they are always so friendly, and each one of them is a pleasure!”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Fast and friendly service. Piping hot and tasty chai lattes (have had them good takeaway too, my only comment is that I wish the 'large' takeaways were bigger as they are pretty small) . Lively atmosphere and lovely decor with all the different pictures/paintings hung on the walls. Great selection of cabinet food. We had a custard muffin, it was delish. All in all a great new cafe on the block.”

“Beautiful library building enhanced by decent coffee, simple food done well and kind service.”

Top marks all around.”
