“My best friend and I came to celebrate my birthday over brunch. Lovely lady at the counter was very accommodating and welcomed us with her beautiful smile. The food was delicious!! The portion sizes are perfect and well presented. This is definitely one of my favourite Cafe's I've been to in a very, very long time. Even the coffee was great!! 5 stars all around for me. Thanks to the chef for coming to check on us and if we enjoyed our meals. Our plates were empty - the answer is a definite Yes, we did :)”

“A beautiful spot for a sweet treat and cuppa (you can even bring your dog for a special doggie friendly gelato!). Tea serving size is generous. Staff are lovely. Highly recommend.”

“Great selection of food, both hot and cold. Highly recommended.”

“Great scenery, worth the trip. Even if I wasn't allowed to play on the rides.”

“This is an absolutely Mint gym. Don't let the small size put you off, they have great equipment, and space to use it. Mint have some cardio gear not seen in many places, like a ski erg, sailing grinding machine, as well as a great functional space, and stretching area. Great friendly staff who are keen to help, and the cafe does awesome tasty food for refuelling!”

“Great coffee and chocolate inside the tannery.”

“Great new menu really tasty and beautifully presented, looking forward to next time!”

“Had the Egg Burger and it was hot, fresh, and delicious - now that’s some five star take-out”

“Easy location just opposite the Art Gallery. Good service and comfortable environment. Foods are well represented and tasty. Especially lunch special is very valuable and worth trying. Recommend!”

“We only stopped in to get some bubble tea but now we wish we would've gotten a meal here. The bubble tea is the best we've yet to have it was so good. It was so flavorful and tasty, it surprised us how good it was. Highly recommend trying the classic bubble tea, you won't be disappointed.”

“Unreal brunch spot, chicken cheese melt reminds me of prime Fortnite days, simply perfection. Never been more of a brunch man than I am right now. Top stuff”

“We went here only once, during our quest to try all 100% vegan spots in Christchurch, but definitely not because of the food or coffee quality. In fact, the breakfast we had, (Pancakes and Big Brekky) was absolutely delicious. The coffee was flawless, too! I wish we would have had more time to try the asian dishes, as well. Next time!:)”

“Wonderful food and excellent service, we had the Lamb Rump with potato gratin and the Chicken and Bacon pasta. Generous portions and very tasty. Can thoroughly recommend. A visit to Zest Timaru is a must.”

“Really cool place & the bar had a great atmosphere. The people running the venue were lovely and very helpful. It is by a main road but great value for what you get and conveniently close to the airport.”

“A great coffee shop serving all day breakfast food. A very unique location in Avonhead. Unique environment too. Cafe food is what you expected. Nice too.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

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