Food establishment in Christchurch

“It has everything you need. Coffee shops busy and free coffe with certain spend. Lotto with second chance draw. Great fish selection, bakery, deli and best range of wine and beers for a supermarket. Friendly and helpful staff. Self-service. Events with freebies and tastings. Wide aisles and not stacked high.”

“Always wonderful friendly staff. Please bring back the little kids trollies though! It's been years and my kids still ask about them.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped in with the family while visiting New Zealand and really enjoyed it. The pies were excellent – fresh, tasty and exactly what you want from a local bakery. Coffee was decent and did the job too. Great spot for a quick bite with the family. Would happily come back for the pies again!”

“Good coffee and tasty treats, a breakfast menu, sweet and savoury pastries and special meals Saturday evenings. Vegan treat options that I’ve enjoyed include the raspberry slice, ginger slice, brownie ball and a delectable, apple-and-cinnamon scroll. The scrambled-tofu on toasted sourdough (choice of bread) was very good too, served with dukkah and tomatoes. I’ve also attended a three-course vegan dinner: delicious, leek-potato soup with croutons, lentil shepherd’s pie and sticky toffee pudding with coconut-milk ice cream. Now licensed for beer and wine, including both non-alcoholic and regular Budvar, a classic Czech beer. More seating upstairs. Pleasant service.”

“Staff were friendly and helpful”

“The lady with the side braid is so awesome, we had such a great customer experience! 10/10 would recommend to a friend”

“Love the guys working there. Knowledgeable and laid back.”

“Great selection on hand and fresh produce”

“A great playground! Loads of fun and spacious. Clean as well”

“Lovely lay-out, good selection of groceries and love that they still have a Deli and Bakery section where most supermarkets have moved to pre-packaged goods only. They have Lotto and also a Cafe at the entrance too.”

“Incredible medium cooked sirloin and gratin! Absolutely perfect! Served by Philippe who was very knowledgeable and provided a great wine recommendation to complement my meal. I overheard him talking with another table and he had excellent knowledge to share. The steak was easily the best I’ve ever had!”

“A pleasure. Had exactly "what the doctor ordered " ...... although my doctor has told me that I need to be moderate in my consumption....”

“I was here for dinner last night, and I loved it so much I came back for lunch today. Nachos are superb, and the guacamole is outstanding. Great homemade chips. Lovely service and good prices. A winner! And a stunning view of the mountains from my table :)”

“Great atmosphere and vibes. Lovely, genuine staff. Excellent wines on offer. Can't wait to go back in summer and sit outside overlooking the park.”

“I recently visited Green Room Cafe in Christchurch, and I was thoroughly impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and friendly service. The menu offers a delightful range of fresh, healthy options, and I particularly enjoyed their signature smoothie bowl, which was both delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The cozy seating and thoughtful decor added to the charm of the cafe. Overall, Green Room Café is a fantastic spot for a nutritious meal or a refreshing drink, and I can't wait to return!”

“Great place. Lots of different foods. Good value”

“Love these guys, small and friendly community-based store with great long-term staff who really know customer service to the nth degree. Tried the new click-and-collect, really great, you don't have to book a slot, they just email you once the order's been received and collated, pick up any time after that. Awesomeness!”

“Get your old container and refill at cheap price or you can buy container in there and fill with product. Which is awesome. I went to get peanut butter but got whole lot of things.”

“Absolutely delightful and warm service. Great wine tasting experience and my kids couldn’t get enough of the luscious pastas.”

“Awesome country pub with a good menu”

“Went for lunch today at Raspberry Café. I’ve been to this place many times and have always loved their cakes — they’re my favourite! Today I found out the café is now under new ownership, which is great to see. The service was excellent, and I really appreciated that the new owner personally visited tables to check in with customers and get feedback — a wonderful touch. They have plenty of hospitality experience, and I’m excited to see some new items showing up on the menu soon.”

“We found ourselves with an hour to spare while our car was being serviced and on recommendation, went to the Crate & Barrel for breakfast. We were made very welcome on entering and were seated next to the fire. While our breakfasts were being cooked, we were given a guided tour to look at the extensive memorabilia. Wow!! The sports section was impressive as was the musical instruments as wall art and many other collections. Food was delicious and plentiful, coffee superb and service impeccable. Highly recommend and we will be back soon.”

“I love this place & travel quite a distance to buy my fruit & veg. All produce is really good quality.”

“This fruit and vegetable store is amazing! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the prices are cheap, and they always have great specials. Their online app is also excellent, allowing for convenient delivery, even for small orders. A true hidden gem in the Somerfield/Beckenham/Sydenham area. Highly recommend!”

“Great prices. But most importantly great service. I was on crutches unable to carry anything. Luke helped me grab vegetables and took them to my car. This dude deserves a promotion”

“Fav vege shop to shop at by far, I bought $77 worth of groceries the other day and it worked out to be half price compared to big supermarkets!! For the same quality / if not better! They do $3 buckets of veges getting close to there expired date and these buckets are the best deal in town, I just got 7 brocolis for $3!!”

“Good range of pet food at affordable prices friendly & helpfull staff especially in the butchery! Good range of other specialty meat & groceries. The checkout ladies are courteous also!”

“Absolutely scrumptious breakfast! We’ve been touring the South Island for almost 2 weeks and this has been one of the most divine breakfasts we have had. Great prices too for the sizes.”

“Best kosco shop in christchurch. Quality customer service and lots of product deals.”

“Awesome experience. I came here on a Monday morning after dejectedly leaving Liberty Market, having been refused service when attempting to buy my groceries for the unforgivable sin of having a mask exemption. Not being able to wear a mask for medical reasons, I was unable to shop in Liberty Market's store for food when I came in on a Monday morning, and was asked to make an online booking time in order to come in and buy food (a functionality I later found is not even available on their website as promised!). I surmise that this option is perhaps simply offered in the moment by the staff at Liberty Market in order to placate those with mask exemptions, and avoid a fuss at the till without offering them an actual solution. I'll be bringing all of my business to Wholefoods on Riccarton Road from here on out, and have advised my mother to do the same. In addition to their lack of virtue signalling, the produce here at Wholefoods is also consistently fresher and I have noticed is restocked far more often than the produce at Liberty Market. An added bonus? Service was delivered with a smile. Keep on keeping on, guys! Yours, Another happy customer.”
