What People Say

"This is honestly one of the best cafés in Christchurch."

Reviewers consistently praise the quality of food and coffee, as well as the friendly service.

"Very nice little cafe. Friendly staff, quality coffee and food. Highly recommended. Can be a little busy."

"Nice place to sit back and watch the wild life. Plus they didn’t even try to take our food. Good spot for a suladae. Salmon eggs Benedict probably not salty enough. Didn’t drink enough water. Needs more salt. Nice art. I’m gonna hang it all in my yurt."
