What a great place, we came for a coffee and stayed almost the entire afternoon! From the breakfast to brunch menu and the sweets and other treats in between, everything tasted so good!And lets not forget the great coffees ☕️ the girl behind the machine made it look so easy and got the drinks spot on (I think she could do it with here eyes closed)If you are ever in Akaroa (why wouldn’t you, such a lovely town) make sure you head over here. Or as we did when staying longer, 3 to 4 times ;)Oh and we found out (to late unfortunately) that there also is a great tea room next door, run by the same owners I believe, check them out to… best cakes ever!

Place was buzzing despite a fairly quiet Thu in Akaroa. Great cabinet food, great service and banter, and well priced yummy menu. We all loved our meals and would go back at drop of a hat.

THE BEST COFFE IN TOWN!Turned in here late Sunday night and this place was open to our surprise!As me and my partner are absolute fans of hot chocolate we had to give a try to this place. And guess what - it exceeded our expectations! Silky foam, right temperature and it actually tastes like hot chocolate!Returned here Monday morning and it was full, people definitely love this place.They had full vitrines of freshly baked pastries and also menu.We are both experienced at F&B field and this place didn’t disappoint us, it was clean, friendly staff, and incredible clients!They are dog friendly, drinking water available for everyone, parking available just outside.Keep up the good work!Ps. I have only one tip for your team- to improve the display of menu.Thank you!

We recently dined at The Common for dinner and had a mixed experience. Despite the restaurant being crowded, the staff seemed understaffed, leading to some confusion with the orders. The waiter mistakenly served us food intended for other customers. Additionally, the coffee I ordered was not served until the end of our meal, so I had to take it home.On the positive side, the food itself was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the pan-seared scallops and pan-seared salmon; they were cooked to perfection. Another highlight was the availability of toys for children, which kept our toddler entertained throughout the meal.Overall, we had a pleasant dining experience in terms of food quality and the availability of toys for our child. We hope that in the future, The Common addresses the staffing concern to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable dining experience.We would definitely still consider visiting again when we find ourselves in Akaroa.

It is not cheap. But worth the price. Food was really tasty and great. But , their dirty chai I had, the hot chocolate wasn't as good as their food, but never complaining. V tried two breakfast items on the menu, Avocado smash and Eggs your way (scrambled). Those were delicious and real good. V both highly enjoyed our meals. Outdoor seating are available too. Definitely recommend there. I visited there on 29/12/2022. Service was good too. They were really busy that day. I believe they would be too.

Greeted by the little dog Elsie, delicious coffee, friendly service, very tasty food- we had the granola and yogurt, salmon omlette, almond croissant, and coffee cream filled donut- all amazing. Highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Went here for lunch with my partner. We were recommended by a local in the street and it did not disappoint! I chose the chicken burger and my partner had the pad Thai. Food was amazing, the chicken burger was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely come back!
