Cafe coffee shop in New Zealand

“Friendly staff, huge variety, lovely meal, so reasonable. We had the scotch filet delicious and cooked believe it or not the way I liked, medium rare. Beautiful garlic butter. We even had raw fish for entre, what a surprise. So sole so nice. Also had great coffee. We were too full to have our strawberry sponge cake so took it home. But so sure it would be yum. Go try it, they also do roast meals.”

“Chill place with delicious sausage rolls and pies”

“I've been coming here for years and their friendliness and quality have never wavered. It's a happy, cheerful little cafe with spectacular coffee. There are allergy friendly options and they are always happy to make changes to a meal so that my family and I can eat despite our food sensitivities.”

“Food selection was great, way more options than the other branches.”

“They make the most beautiful (single shot) latte (& soy latte), foods are awesome as well. Friendly staff”

“We walked in at 10am Tuesday morning, the line was almost to the door. We thought this will take forever and almost turned around. We then noticed most of the customers in front of us were going to one large table and the wait to the cashier was quick. Then I thought getting our food and drinks will take forever! Wow, best customer service ever. From the friendly cashier to getting our delicious meals from the kitchen and best Belgian Iced Chocolate yum.”

“Sena, the lady with the beautiful ginger hair. She makes the best expresso caramel frappes that I highly recommend! I call them heaven in cup. The food is always fresh, and delicious!”

“an excellent place for breakfast or morning tea. Friendly staff nice food , clean toilets and tables, highly recommended”

“Light lunch stop at the beautiful garden centre. The best chips in NZ! Happy to say it louder. Lovely setting, friendly staff, tasty food”

“Very friendly staff, dog friendly (outside) cafe as well, ask them for a water bowl, they will provide. Been here thrice and never been disappointed with the food or the staff. Amazing, keep it up.”

“This is a great place, the food was delicious and great quality and the service from the staff was absolutely wonderful. They looked after my grandparents and made it such a comfortable and warm dining experience. We will definitely make this coffee club a regular lunch spot! Highly recommend to all to come here!”

“Yesterday I went to The Coffee Club on Victoria Street and tried their all-berries milkshake. It was super fresh, really tasty, and honestly so refreshing. The customer service was great too, the guy taking the order was friendly and smiling the whole time. Really nice place overall.”

“My husband and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary at our local The Block Cafe. We decided to dine alfresco as the weather was beautiful. The staff were friendly, welcoming, helpful and efficient. The food was amazing. I got the Pancakes with berry compote and a generous sized amount of cream. My husband got the big breakfast which had everything from bacon, eggs, hash brown baked beans etc.. The coffee was Devine! Very filling and good value for money. We'll definitely be back again soon.”

“Second time coming to Pakuranga Chipmunks, each time was on my daughter’s birthday. We arrived on a Friday just after 09:30am and although it was a cloudy, wet and cold day…. The moment you enter the store you are welcomed with a ray of fun music and lights, a perfect way to spend your days indoor. My 2 year old enjoyed her time so much we stayed until 1:30pm! There’s a baby area with soft padded floors for your baby to crawl there way around and explore, there’s a 0-5 playground with sensory toys, musical piano, slide, and an upstairs playground with mirror maze, trampoline, walking rope and more slides - adults can fit too, I managed to comfortably explore alongside my 2 year old daughter, very study platforms. At an extra cost there are machine rides too. There’s also a 5-11 years area/playground that looked fun, we did explore the lower levels which had a large ball pit with a huge interactive screen projector where you throw the balls to eliminate the animal. If your child gets a bit bored of this playground there are arcade games along the back end of the store (extra cost) and a mini basketball court too. There are ample seats and tables close by to playgrounds. We ordered food from the cafe, for $39 I got the chicken burger combo & chicken nugget combo. A bit on the expensive side but the chicken burger was delicious (buns were soft and fresh) and they do have good coffee. Toilets were spotless and clean, a separate changing room for babies as well and a cool feature that I noticed was an area tucked around the corner from the cafe (outside of party room areas) was a set of comfy couches which is perfect for our breastfeeding māma’s who needed a comfortable private space to BF baby without the distractions of kids running around. Shoutout to the lovely owners for their awesome customer service, the lovely lady April was so attentive and I wish their business well for the future. Highly reccommend”

“Grade A!! Nice little water front spot and prices have increased from the last time we were there few months ago. Enjoyed our meal and coffee was delicious. Parking: you’ll be lucky to get one close by, took a while to find one and nearly gave up but found one just as we were about to drive off. Ordered Salmon Eggs Benedict $28.50 Bacon Eggs Benedict $27 Ice Coffee Frappe $8 Ice Chocolate Frappe $8 Mochaccino in a bowl $7.50 And soft drinks for $3”

“I stopped by Coffee Culture at lunchtime for a mocha latte, and it’s the best I’ve had so far in Christchurch! I’ve been hooked on mocha drinks ever since a tea-tasting ceremony in Japan, where I had the most unforgettable mocha. The mocha latte here had a well-balanced portion of tea powder, delivering a pure, smooth, and hearty taste—perfect for colder weather. However, the mocha powder didn’t fully dissolve, which was a bit disappointing—definitely could use a better tea whisk. The customer service was fantastic! The staff were super friendly, and I was especially impressed by the person taking orders—patient, welcoming, and greeting everyone with a warm smile. The café is also in a great spot, surrounded by a variety of stores, making it a convenient and enjoyable place to visit. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!”

“Very friendly service from the little bubbly Asian lady, that made our day better after the disappointment of 15% surcharges for public holdays and thinking we wouldn't get a coffee and breakfast. No surcharge, thats a bonus, the coffee was good as was the food.”

“I had avocado toast here for lunch today. Chef Jessie has delivered the plate to my table by himself. The food was amazing, fresh, delicious and lovely presentated! It's one of my favourite places for healthy delicious lunch. As well they have sparkling water straight from the tap, what is so unusual.”

“We stopped for a coffee and snack and I was amazed to see gluten free cheese rolls! I know its incredibly hard to make anything with gluten free bread and my husband had not had a cheese roll for so long! Even better his gluten free one was the same price as my non gluten free one! Top marks all around.”

“I'm on a quest to find the best cheese scone in Christchurch. Someone recommended me this cafe, and let me tell you.... this is my sixth scone for review and you are now top of my list! Truly the best cheese scone in Chch. It's really the flavour that makes it so good. I think a lot of places focus more on texture which is not a bad idea, but it's gotta be well rounded. This scone has it all. I'd love to come back and try the gluten free one. Coffee was also amazing. The two ladies, one on till and one on coffee, were both incredible as well and had such lovely vibes. 10/10 experience”

“Ordered our hot chocolate. We were going to get a cheesescone each, but there was only one left. So decided against it. Got our hot chocolates, just as we were leaving a fresh bat h came out. We should have asked but didnt. Excellent service and hot chocolate was one of the best we have had.”

“We stopped here for coffee while cycling we ordered two Flat Whites and a Savoury Scone. The Scone and Coffee were very nice. Service was friendly. Certainly recommend going there.”

“Went into this cafe and I was welcomed by a friendly face straight away. Quick service and the bene bagel and mocha were great. Nice music playing gives a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely will come back again.”

“The best coffee in my 2 weeks coffee experience in Dunedin! The barista girl was very friendly and she knows what she is doing. My coffee was perfectly strong, smooth and delicious. Lemon muffin was yum too!”

“Clean bakery, friendly staff and excellent coffee!!!”

“Its a food shop in a commercial/industrial area. if you are busy like they are its a good sign the food is good and well priced. update 5/4/24 still awesome.. why change a great thing update for google 16/7/24 same as above, taken quite a liking to their burgers, atm 7.50!! and rather filling.. VERY tasty.. but... have napkins handy... its going to get messy... (in an awesome and delicious way.. if other staff stare... grunt with satisfaction!!)”

“Fantastic staff, amazing food, great prices. I have zero complaints. Well worth the money spent! I had the french toast - photo :)”

“What an extra ordinary experience! We went here due to the reviews - with one saying they considered this better than Amisfield. We agree 100% - this is a little gem in Alexandra - and a destination in it's own right! The Venison was superb, the duck next level and the Bread and butter pudding topped it off! A lovely ambiance, matched with wonderful service. You must go here!”

“Great cafe, my go to lunch place, good food for a good price, and friendly staff”

“Our local Cafe... I always enjoy my Steak meal...”
