Coffee house in Christchurch

“Always found the staff to be courteously and friendly,great coffee, depending on time of day can be noisy with closeby indoor play ground.”

“Best location. Great coffee and the best loos in the city. Wish the loos played tunes so none could hear me while they were perusing the floura in the botanical garden.”

“Great staff and fast service. Facilities are clean and well kept. Had great laugh as the staff dealt with the rudest woman this earth has seen. On the phone, whinging about slow service but to lazy to listen for her number being called on multiple occasions. She ended up leaving with cold food and cold coffee. The staff handled this entitled horse enthusiast who left her child in a hot car beautifully. Well done.”

The kitchen at Papanui Flame takes a coffee‑and‑cabinet path and lets the food speak. Sides support without crowding the plate. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Had to try the Ballantynes hotdogs,did not disappoint”

“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.”

Bean&Co. runs with a coffee‑and‑cabinet menu and a relaxed pace. Cabinet bakes and slices cover a quick stop. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Portions are generous yet well judged. A sen...

“I have to say BROOKE is the BEST MACCAS EMPLOYEE in the world!!! She was very friendly and provided great service. She solved my problem quickly despite being very busy. She came like an angel when people were in trouble. I have never spoken so highly of any service person. Brooke must be a role model for all service professionals. If I were Christopher John Kempczinski, I would give this girl a promotion.”

“Needed a couple of random little plumbing bits for work, knew this place would have everything we needed and after a bit of rummaging managed to find exactly what we needed. Saved a couple hundred bucks over buying new. We felt like things were priced pretty fair. Basically what you want to sell things for if you were the seller but still a few bargains in there. Amazing variety of items, you could spend half the day in there! The guy at the counter was friendly, had a nice chat and a laugh when we paid but great how he leaves you to look at things rather than trying be a salesman and bothering you. Love this place, will be back :)”
