Gourmet ingredient sourcing in Christchurch

“A must visit for vegans! Delicious food with varied prepared and cooked to order menu options! Service was great and personable, and the store is well stocked. Seating is limited.”

“Delightful little Cafe on good street. I was quite surprised to find a Cafe in this quiet area tucked away from the main street! The iced coffee was delicious, the breakfast we had was good portioned and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the sausage and bacon as they were cooked perfectly whereas some places quite often burn these or are quite oily. The lady was very nice and served us with a smile!”

“Lovely simple menu, food was delicious. Chicken was juicy and not overcooked and the salad was delicious and fresh. The overall atmosphere was great. Perfect place for a beer as the craft beer distillery is adjacent to the caravan. My sweet pet rabbit has just passed away and the table number was really perfect. ❤️”

“One of the nicest places in the city for Sunday high tea brunch. French creperie with multiple choices of both sweet and sour French crepes, including some vegan options. There are plenty of suggested options, but you can also go wild and create your own one. Crepes are really amazing, very tasty, good size portions and amazing taste. It’s really great that there is vegan options available, made of buckwheat. If you have not enough of sugar you can finish with a great desert selection. Coffee is slightly bitter and not the best blend , but tea selection is perfect.”

“This is a lovely wee place that serves your standard cafe food. Nothing fancy or over the top but very well done. The eggs bennie was superb, eggs perfectly runny and a good quantity of delicious bacon (ordered with a side of delightful crispy hashbrowns). The flat white was a perfect flavoured shot and served hot. The staff were also friendly and efficient. I came during early morning as the cafe opens at 7 am, it was a quiet spot where I could enjoy my own company. Wheelchair accessible although the tables can be a tight squeeze to get past in one. Plus an outdoor area perfect for those hot summer days. Free parking lot available but be mindful to park in areas labelled cafe.”

“Took an hour to serve 35 people all at once. We take our hats off to you. Lovely meal, great atmosphere, good prices.”

“Best coffee's in Rangiora by a long way. Awesome, super friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Wouldnt ride anywhere else, absolute quality instruction with fantastic well cared for horses. They even offer riders the opportunity to compete on their horses which is awesome. You not only learn how to ride, you learn everything from horse mastership, grooming , how to lunge correctly etc.”

“Nice coffee, tasty fresh pies. Convenient 5 min park just out front. Friendly service and cute little shop☺️”

“Holly at checkout was very friendly and helpful. The girl staff member who was helping her bag around 7:30 pm on August 7th was also very sweet. Very good customer service. Will return, very well presented store. Thank you!”

“5 stars purely for the new york brownie alone bc it’s so damn delicious and addictive. it does get a bit loud and the coffee isn’t the best on campus, but it’s the one cafe i always go back to for the cheap toasties and ofc the brownie.”

“Great cafe with good service and atmosphere at the University of Canterbury.”

“The best chicken burger you will ever have.”

“We got a pizza & chicken tenders to go. Very tasty.”

“Great service by staff store looks small bit its not its very long to back !! Price of liquor very cheap ! 100%Recommend”

“Reading books while having coffee? What's not to love? I ordered mocha and it was lovely. Also the toilets are really clean, to think that the cafe is busy, and,and, and,(yes 3 "ands")because they've got 3 bathrooms! With exclamation point! They've got 3 clean toilets! Normally cafe's have only one right? But they've got 3 and it's a big deal for me because I've got 2 kids 6&4 where they tell you that they need to go the toilet when it's almost too late (mom's will know what i mean). Therefore I highly recommend this to all mom's out there who just want to go out once in a while and have a simple coffee.”

“Great drinks, berry smoothie was the best. Breakfast was very good, eggs poached perfectly and the best tomato sauce I've had in ages. Excellent service, all staff were helpful, prompt and made me feel welcome. A few other cafes in Christchurch could learn a lot from these guys. Will definitely be back.”

“Absolutely Amazing customer service. A great way to get a lifelong customer!!”

“Hilltop retreat was an exceptional stay. The owners were a welcoming couple and had a beautiful sense of humour which made our stay all the more enjoyable. The studio is beautiful and gives you a warm home feeling, and the place smelt great! We loved our stay and we’ll defiantly be returning. Thankyou hilltop for our most pleasant stay”

“Please ignore last review was a mistake, my partner and I have been coming to this store for years and Fenil’s smile and service will keep us coming back :)”

“Best flat white I have had on my holiday. The milk was the perfect temperature. The coffee bean was not burnt. There was very little froth and no ground coffee at end of the cup. Thanks for the excellent coffee.”
