Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“A hidden gem with warm friendly service from a lovely gentleman and delicious ORGANIC COFFEE at a super reasonable price (hard to find and amazing for fancy-pants Parnell!). Very very happy, only a few mins walk from Strand Station so will be back every time I come to visit from Hamilton! 谢谢”

“Dam good food and very nice staff. Great little mince savory that I would definitely get again. Would recommend to all. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“Good service and plenty selection of food and staff are friendly all the time”

“I totally recommend this place, staff are friendly and helpful, food delicious and affordable, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I highly recommend the seafood basket!”

“I recently placed a phone order with Domino’s, and I wanted to recognize Shane for her exceptional customer service. She was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. I had quite a few questions, and she answered each one thoroughly and calmly. Shane made the entire ordering process smooth and enjoyable, and I truly felt like a valued customer. It's rare to find such a high level of service these days, and I really appreciate the positive experience she provided. Thank you!”

“Just had a strawberry matcha frappe but it was delicious. Only got it after seeing someone else with it bc it looked amazing.”

“Honestly just amazing, wasn't expecting much at first but once I got it I realized what all my friends had been talking about, packaging felt premium. I ordered a Sweet & Smokey Chicken Burger, Large Fries, and a Large coke for $31.95 on UberEats. The burger was wrapped in a tinfoil packaging, absolutely giant and delicious, the fries were alright, resembled KFC fries but not as good, and the large coke was absolutely massive compared to other restaurants. Overall, highly recommended!”

“The highlight of our stay was having Jassi as our concierge, so welcoming and loving. Went above and beyond for us when I lost my wallet and truly gave MANAAKITANGA that is rare in congested tourist places. Location was amazing, rooms were spacious. I highly recommend and will stay now whenever I am in town thanks to the beautiful and welcoming people!”

“Staff are friendly and well trained. The bar tenders are especially lovely and appreciate the effort they put in to looking after rhe patrons even when busy”

“Jason and Kate run an excellent business here. Hospitality is top notch. Our unit was perfect for our needs with everything so clean and tidy. The thermal pool was perfect for unwinding in after a stressful day. I highly recommend Bennett's to anyone looking for a quiet stay in a great location.”

“It is always a good experience eating a big mac. This McDonald's is usually full in some hours. The service was good, and the food was tasty as always.”

The kitchen at Papanui Flame takes a coffee‑and‑cabinet path and lets the food speak. Sides support without crowding the plate. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Stu is fantastic! Great food and great service”

“A Hidden Gem and Total Lifesaver! We were wandering around looking for somewhere to chill, but everything nearby was closed—except for WuCha Bubble Tea. And honestly, it turned out to be the perfect spot. Total lifesaver! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was exactly what we needed. The space had this cool camp-style aesthetic—really unique and cozy, like a modern outdoor lodge but indoors. It felt like a little escape from the noise and busyness of the day. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed, making it a great place to hang out, catch up, or even just unwind on your own. The bubble tea? Top-notch. You can tell they use quality ingredients because the flavors were clean and balanced—not overly sweet, and the pearls had that perfect chewy texture. It’s one of those places where you can actually taste the difference. We tried a few different drinks between us, and each one was a hit. They clearly put thought into their menu and presentation too. What I appreciated most, though, was how quiet and comfortable it was. So many bubble tea places are either too cramped or too loud, but WuCha struck the perfect balance. Whether you’re looking for a casual hangout or a place to get some work done over a good drink, this place has you covered. All in all, we went in just hoping for something open—but we left feeling like we’d found a new favorite. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors and soak in that chill vibe again. Highly recommend WuCha if you’re after quality bubble tea and a great environment to go with it!”

“After living in Cambridge for over 8 years I didn't think a single place could do an excellent pie. Well I was sorely mistaken and this small, unassuming tuck shop has been right under my nose the whole time. This is how a pie should be. Beautiful flakey pastry and tender, quality beef - no fatty, gross offcuts or grissly bits. Real pieces of steak sourced from the local butcher (as the owner told me). If you live in Australia and have come back for a couple weeks and want a decent pie (like myself) you better watch the scales - the food at this tuck shop is just too good to pass up. Well done! P.S. the 1 star review from six years ago is significantly out of date or it's from a jealous bakery owner! Two days in a row of excellent pies without failure and a delicious ham filled roll too. They cannot have reviewed the same bakery as this!”

“Travelled around the whole South island on a vacation and this was the best coffee we had. Had to stop by on the way back out of Christchurch for another round! Whatever you're doing underground, you're doing it right, 5/5! Creamy and delicious!”

“Always get my morning coffee here. The loveliest of lady's makes it for me in the morning. Love her to bits. Also really like Olivia great service from her also!!! keep it up.”

“The Coffee Club is a pretty standard chain. The food is reliably good even if it isn't going to be your favorite. The place is spacious and comfortable. The staff have always been polite and friendly on my 3 visits to the Napier location.”

“Always plan my drive to swing into Piali...delicious! Also impressed with their commitment to reducing rubbish & plastic...thanks guys!”

“An incredible bar that mixes the excitement of doggin with the class and style of a cocktail bar!”

“Amazing views particularly at night time , very friendly host. Very clean lots of space, washing machine was a bonus”

“While staying a couple night with my brother he recommended this place. Loved the atmosphere and bar staff were awesome. Would definitely go back!”

“Generous scoops of ice cream. Very kind and obliging workers. Really good coffee. It had everything I needed. I would recommend this to everybody”

“Great drinks. I come here most weeks to get my calories up with the cream cheese strawberry oat milk drink. Always very popular and busy. There is also a cafe and churo stand on site.”

“Great atmosphere, eggs were fantastic”

“Had a Chicken Satay pie, full of flavor, lots of filling, tasted great and so was the service.”

“Good place it has friendly staff, good bubble tea and has many options available”

“Great service from both men that helped me in the shop late Friday. I had to go to an event following purchase and they even steamed the shirt so i could wear it straight from the shop. Very impressed”
