What People Say

"Hands down, without a doubt, the BEST cold brew in the country, maybe even the world!"

Reviewers consistently praise the exceptional quality of the coffee, particularly the flat whites and cold brews, along with the friendly service.

"Found this gem of a coffee place in the evening before leaving for a few hikes. The lady was very kind, recommended some very good beans for the aeropress and ground them at the right setting. I also got a nice decaf flat white. Thanks to her and Empire coffee I had great coffee on the Routeburn!"

"Despite the busy hour, all the staff were friendly, and the coffee crafted by a skilled barista stood out with its unique, peppery finish:)"

"Chose Empire for a couple of hot chocs whilst in the Riverside Market. Mainly a takeaway there are a few seats too. Drinks were really nice and staff friendly."

"Coffee was an absolute treat! Really great quality flat white and nice location to also pick up some food and produce from other vendors."

"I’ve been here several times, but the flat white I had today was by far the best I’ve had in Christchurch. Exceptional quality and perfectly balanced."
