David JulianAugust 15, 2017They do a great ristretto and flat white, will have to come back and try the food next time!
Kylor HallMay 18, 2017Serves Switch Espresso. Good coffee for the area with aeropress, pourover, and siphon methods available – if you're not in a hurry. A nice shop overall.
JoannaNovember 9, 2014Modern interior, traditional breakfast options, some glutenfree cakes but they look very unhealthy. Wega coffee machine, unfortunately the "barista" needs a training as the coffee is burnt.
HankJanuary 30, 2016Wow, these guys really, really know how to make a simple and perfect eggs benedict. Yum.
Josie BrownFebruary 6, 2013They do have smoothies and yes, they are amazing. Also love that they switch up the menu a bit from time to time!
Sophie ParkerJuly 9, 2012Reputedly the best coffee in Christchurch right now! Great cafe, and I can recommend the delicious seafood chowder.
- Sebastian BoyleSeptember 1, 2012You can't go wrong with the eggs benedict. Unless you spill it on yourself or something.
- Great coffee, but there is always a queue, worth a little wait
- Great coffee and food, but don't come here if you want to book a table, they don't take bookings :(
RyanOctober 26, 2016Food is likely very good, but the kitchen closes at 2:30pm, so I had to go elsewhere for food!!
Gilbert ThomasApril 26, 2014Poached eggs turned out half boiled. Bread was too tough it was a chore trying to chew through it.
- Creme Brûlée a 5/10 not exactly bad, but not super smooth
Matt PowellMarch 31, 2012So. Goddamn. Slow. Don't come in on a weekend unless you like waiting 20 mins for coffee or an hour for food.

"Still one of my favourite places in Christchurch. I particularly recommend the Super Choice Bro breakfast. Opens at 7am every day of the week but get in early as it gets crazy busy."
