Very delicious coffee and even better sandwiches (best we had in 5 weeks in NZ) and pastries. The staff is very friendly and the products exceptionell. We bought different things for a breakfast/picnic and enjoyed it very much.

The rich chocolate flavor blended perfectly with the coffee notes, creating a balanced taste. The cheese & chilli scroll was golden, flaky, and oh-so-cheesy; I'm already planning my next visit to get this again, such a delicious!

Great little spot. Grabbed brunch. Decor is clean and bright. Great coffee. Best cheese scone my fellow diner has had and he’s a scone fan. Poached eggs were perfect. Wait wasn’t long at all and they were very busy. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve tried many cafes and breakfasts around the world. In some places a smashed avocado toast is literally that: a toast with just some avocado on in. In here I can only say it was way beyond that, definitely one of the best ones I had in a long time. First of all the quality of the bread which was excellent, then the generous portion of fresh avocado mixed with tasteful cherry tomatoes and feta. Super delicious! The staff is also very friendly, I arrived just before closing time in the afternoon and didn’t expect that they would still happily prepare this item from the breakfast menu for me, but it was no issue at all. The coffee was also really good. Will definitely come back here when I’m in Christchurch again!
