Great food and quick. Clean place and a lovely bunch of people working together. Great plant based options.

I have been to the café a few times, not always by choice but because it is at a convenient location.They are child friendly and my kids enjoy being in there.Food is good but a bit overpriced compared to other cafés.People are lovely and mostly get orders correct. I find that when you double check what you receive helps you get your order.They have great music but bit loud as we couldn't hear our companions speak.I would go back for a drink but would rather takeaway.

They have fabulous homemade Kombucha here which brings me back for more. Loved the grape and orange one you had today.Cheese scones are decent and service is great.My only criticism is that it gets so busy, which is great for business but a pain if you want to find a seat and have some peace and quiet.Maybe a quiet area dedicated for people who come alone and just want to be away from the busyness?

A great location for lunch in the centre of Christchurch. Well prepared and tasty variety of sandwiches, cakes, and drinks. Unfortunately, they didn’t do a good job of delivering the food to our table, but instead tried to deliver each of our plates to other patrons by mistake, until they eventually found our table.

Some of the best food that you will find in the central city. It's not cheap but it's totally worth it. Pretty chill environment inside.

I caught the bus into town JUST to come to this café. Such a lovely interior, great food, very lovely staff and two registers so you are served fast. Scone and hot chocolate came in good time. It is a busy environment but in a good way! Lovely soft French music playing in the background, great big windows so you can see Cathedral Square and surrounding area. I did some crochet while having my meal and it was a really lovely afternoon. I will definitely come again, thank you so much!! :-)

What a fabulous location with a menu to die for! Loads of options for all your dietary needs & lovely service from all staff! Fast service despite being very busy & made a drink for my friend that was not on the menu a ‘London fog’. I enjoyed my long black with cream (no extra charge for the cream) so much I forgot to snap a photo but check out the cabinet selection! I’ll be back to try the food - my friend had a pasta salad that was creamy & delicious & they have fresh salads every day! Winning!

Friendly and fast service. The portion of big breakfast was huge and it was delicious. The feta avocado was great too. Eggs were runny and the ingredients were fresh. The matcha latte was ok. It was a bit powdery. I

We did arrive at 3.40pm, with closing time being 4pm. We ordered 3 drinks and two scones. The drinks we were told would be in takeaway cups as they were closing at 4pm. (I did find this very strange but went along with it) I didn’t expect the scones to arrive in paper bags with no cutlery.At 3.50pm we were all alerted to closing time as a staff member hollered in front of us that closing time is 4pm. (Felt like the 70’s, time up, bar closing)Next thing the volume on the music system is turned up, very obviously to move us along.We could see the staff huddling together behind the counter looking our way, waiting for us to leave. The table beside us were just as shocked as we were by our treatment.We left just before 4pm.If you are in the hospitality industry I feel you need to be respectful towards your customers even at the end of the day.Very disappointed.
