“Hidden Gem in the Heart of the Mall – A Must-Visit! I stumbled across this coffee shop during a casual trip to the mall, and honestly, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. This place is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee and the warm, inviting vibe that just makes you want to stay a while. The coffee? Next-level. Whether you're a latte lover, cold brew enthusiast, or espresso purist, they’ve absolutely nailed it. Smooth, balanced, and brewed with real care — you can taste the quality in every sip. I had the Flat White and my wife had Mocha, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve had anywhere. But it’s not just about the drinks. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, with plenty of seating to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The staff are incredibly friendly — genuinely passionate about what they do and always happy to make recommendations if you’re not sure what to order. Also worth mentioning: the muffins and scones are chef’s kiss. Perfectly paired with the coffee, and clearly made with the same attention to quality. In a mall full of big chain options, this independent coffee shop is a breath of fresh air. Support local, drink great coffee, and do yourself a favor — check this place out. You won’t regret it.”

“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.”

“Had a great NZ cup day here with friends and associates and the guy behind the bar went out of his way to get what we required even though they were out of stock, above and beyond for us mere visitors. Bar food was more than satisfactory, as was the overall service. We'll be back.”

“My friend wanted me to write this review for her! (since I am a Local Guide for Google) Blaze N Chill overall is a great shop :) ...HOWEVER recently it has been randomly closed!!!!! On Both Sunday and Wednesday (today) she walked past and the shop was completely shut. I think others are having this same problem... As far as she is concerned Blaze N Chill haven't advised their customers on this issue. In conclusion my friend says that as of right now she's extremely disappointed.”

“Rayva the bar manager, is what makes this place amazing !!!!❤️”

“Great location for our travel purposes, clean tidy and comfy beds.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding experience — highly recommended! As a chef myself, I rarely write long reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’d confidently give it 5 stars for the incredible value we received. The location is just perfect — peaceful, away from the city noise, yet easy to reach. We went for a family dinner- birthday celebration and were pleased to find plenty of parking available, as nearby businesses were closed at that time. The food was plentiful and well-balanced — not an overwhelming menu, but thoughtfully curated. From a chef’s perspective, every dish felt just right. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One of our little ones accidentally broke a glass, and the team immediately stepped in to clean up and made sure we were comfortable — that kind of service speaks volumes. Overall, one of the best places to dine — whether with family, as a couple, or for a corporate dinner. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and genuine hospitality. Definitely worth visiting again!”
