Excellent breakfast choice with free street parking nearby.
The berry pancakes with mascarpone and the salmon omelette were splendid. The salmon wasn't too salty and the berries were really good, not super sweet as is often the case . Lots of coffee options and other hot / cold drinks available. Pet
Popped into the common for a family brunch this morning, food and service was delightful. The coffee and cabinet food is exceptional, we ordered menu food as well which was fantastic! We ended up back there for dinner, highly recommend the Pad Thai 🤩
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
Great pancake offering. 3 pancakes 🥞, 4 strips of streaky bacon 🥓, a whole banana 🍌, a dollop of whipped butter, and maple syrup (rather than the dark Karo most often served outside the US.) $17NZ ($10US). Slight mix up and misunderstanding with coffee orders were resolved quickly.
We were served by Amnda, and she is amazing. She went out of the way to help us.
Besides that the breakfast was out of the world. Would definitely come back again . This is the place if you want to taste the local food
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!
Amazing wee place, came a little too late for breakfast but the croissant was divine. Beautiful coffee, decor and ambience. Loved the dog wall and check out the secret bathrooms!
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 c
Terrific cafe, excellent service and food in a great central Akaroa location
Loved having black pudding as a breakfast choice with my poached eggs, all delivered without fuss on labour weekend Saturday.
It's wonderful being back for lunch here. I think it is a new place as it had a make over from the last time we visited. The food is fantastic and does not disappoint. The coffee is good too.
It's worth to note that the avocado smash comes with really grainy bread (really nice but not everyone's cup
Such a lovely brunch spot, really cozy cafe with lots of dogs around.
We had the Eggs Benedict and the Big Breakfast, both of which were very good. We were pleasantly surprised at how yummy both dishes were, and we both thought that they were standout examples of these standard cafe options.
My co
Would love to see more sweets that are vegan or dairy free. We had a Berry Friand which was DF and GF and then a Ginger Slice, which we were told was vegan.
The kitchen said they could make items on the menu dairy free, but we were just looking for some sweets for afternoon tea. There was also a ve
Lovely vibe to the place, staff friendly and gave us tips on the area and for our next stop. Had the Eggs Benedict and it was very good.
We sat out the front and it is a lovely courtyard
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!
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
Pretty nice cafe with good food and coffee! We ordered the butchers breakfast, avocado smashed and flat white. Overall the food quality was really good and sitting outdoor was very relaxing.
The Common was the perfect place for my travel group to go after a morning kayak. The avocado toast was so yummy with the feta and drizzle of balsamic. And the blueberry muffin was shockingly fluffy! Very delicious. Latte was also very good, especially with a marshmallow to slightly sweeten it. Defi
Super cosy cafeteria, love the atmosphere and amazing price for the quality. The staff were super friendly and if you like dogs this is the place to visit!
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.
