Food establishment in Christchurch

“Great coffee and scones. They have an interesting history. Friendly.”

“What an absolute gem of a find. Definitely will be returning. Wish I'd noticed the speciality flavoured hot chocolates earlier. Great excuse to return! Cinnamon scroll delicious, 4 shot medium long black outstanding.”

“Pies are full of real food. $10 for a plain mince but very tasty. Also got some sweet treats. Beautiful taste, spoilt for choice. Thanking Sheffield Pies for their response: Just to clarify, our items were 'rounded' up so my apologies for not specifying the correct price per item. Thank you for doing so. I hope this hasn't been taken in the wrong light but just as an aside, I should have got another pie! They were delicious.”

“Went to Bunco’s for brunch and it was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and cosy however the hot drinks we ordered were nice enough but only lukewarm. The eggs were perfectly cooked as was the entire meal for both.”

“This evening, a staff member went above and beyond for our family! I believe her name was Kaye, working in the click and collect department this evening. After my husband came home with our order, we realised we were missing a few things. I called up to explain and Kaye was so apologetic and helpful! So much so that she personally delivered our missing items to our home after her shift finished! Just incredible!”

“Great place to explore the variety of products”

“Always get lovely friendly service. Dee in particular has given me great recommendations, he obviously knows his product very well which is a credit to him. The rest of the staff are just as friendly and helpful.”

“A very unique café with an internal garden that creates a small indoor sanctuary. There’s also a designer clothing store right next to it, adding to the charm. You’ll need to book in advance if you want a good spot, as it can get quite busy on weekends. I’ll try to come early next time to fully enjoy the atmosphere. The coffee was decent.”

“We went out to a recommended restaurant for dinner, and the experience was wonderful. The waitress was exceptionally warm, gentle, and welcoming. The dishes take some time to be served since everything is prepared fresh, but it is absolutely worth the wait. For starters, we ordered: – Smoked Burrata with strawberries – beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. – Wild Mushroom Gyoza, served with sesame sauce, chili oil, and an Asian-style salad. An excellent dish, with perfectly steamed dumplings. For the main courses, which are the restaurant’s signature dishes: 1. Fish of the day – salmon, served tender, delicate, and absolutely delicious. 2. Braised Beef Cheek – slow-cooked with miso and sweet potato purée. The dishes were outstanding, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. There is both visual elegance and exceptional taste in every plate. Of course, we couldn’t leave without dessert. We ordered the pudding, which is their signature dessert, and it was excellent as well. We enjoyed the meal so much that we will definitely return to enjoy this wonderful food again, clearly prepared with great care and passion by the chef.”

“What can I say except that it was so good, and the girls are working with a smile. As a Belgian, I've really liked the decorations with the Belgian comics!”

“Such a gorgeous place ! Such lovely people. Drinks were great, food was great, service was great. Love the decor. Cosy relaxed vibe such a sunny garden at the back loads of plants 100% make this your morning coffee spot. Came here everyday while we were staying. Lots of vegan / vegetarian options and substitutes too.”

“I've had a lot of eggs bennies in my time and this was honestly one of the best. The cloud bread was so soft and yummy”

“Serve its purpose, selling alcohol. Nice people.”

“Lovely vibe & layout. Feel like your some where special in this store. Really good range of fresh produce, bulk items and specialist grocery (including the nicest raw honeys). Fresh ready to eat salads, slices & drinks also. It’s pricey but the quality, ambience and experience justifies.”

“Another cost effective place to shop, great prices for the family on their packaged frozen goods from Ice cream to chargrilled chicken portions, fish and savouries, pastries and cheese slices, that's only a few of so many items they stock. With their great staff and products you'll be heading back for more the next week they are cheaper than the Supermarkets for the chicken and fish items especially, so give them a try if you want to save money. No I don't work for them either I just appreciate their deals and lovely staff and would like to let those people and families trying to survive out there that there are alternatives to the Supermarkets. Give them a try you won't regret it.”

“Lovely local supermarket, good parking, great range of yummy deserts and baking. Good service.”

“This would have to be the best cafe experience in Christchurch. Well worth the drive to this amazing establishment. Lovley seating, clean and tidy. Amazing cabinet food with a Devine menu. Coffee was a solid 10/10. Kiwi staff that were more than accommodating for myself and my friend. Custard fruit tart would be my recommendation.. Will definitely return. 5 star.”

“Often our go to spot for my family and I in the weekends. We absolutely love the food and cabinet selection. Service is always great, cannot fault it one bit. Highly recommend Black and White Wigram and will for sure be back.”

“Amazing Staff and products. Will be back. Yummy kombucha today! Happy partner.”

“Great service tonight from Gautam. He went above and beyond to wrap a gift bottle of gin I brought. Thank you!”

“Absolutely incredible. I absolutely love Teasme. They use real tea and have a great service first approach. Highly recommended and I can safely recommend all options as I’ve had almost all of them.”

“A lovely atmosphere with with friendly staff and unique decor. There was a great selection of both menu and cabinet foods. Many options had something special that lifted them above standard cafe items. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back to try more options. It’s wonderful on a sunny day to sit outside and enjoy the calm environment while the children have lots to see. We loved the special glassware for the milkshakes and coffees.”

“Really nice food at low prices. Staff are lovely too. Had eggs bene a few times and waffles both very good and great value”

“Gareth is awesome to deal with - knowledgeable and happy to talk things over to get you what you actually want/need, not push product you don't.”

“Awesome lot of people Very nice people well orginsed and very cheap goodies Go have a look you wont come out of the shop without tempting to spend money These are good baby snacks”

“Amazing service from amazing people who actually have your goals and wellbeing in mind while giving their advice. Their knowledge is huge! Cannot fault them :)”

“This is the best halloumi and chicken salad I have had in Chch! Absolutely so amazing Had everything in it Please don’t walk here to get one Run! It’s worth it”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding! Purple Weka Café is hands-down one of the best spots in Christchurch. The coffee is consistently excellent, smooth and perfectly made every time. The food is generous, fresh, and full of flavour – real Kiwi-style portions with that homemade feel. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with staff who go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Whether it’s a quick coffee, a hearty breakfast, or a relaxed lunch, this place delivers every single time. A true local gem – can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“Very nice cafe. All the servers and cashiers were very pleasant and welcoming. Would 100% recommend”

“Love this place. The food is freshly made the coffee is very well made and the staff are very friendly. The chef Ryo know what he is doing. The food is tasty beautiful and down to earth. It is not expensive especially for the size of the portions. The coffee was smooth and very nice. Definitely worth a visit even if it means a detour.”
