It was a nice surprise to see decent prices on their menu! The location of the cafe is absolutely beautiful and I’d highly recommend sitting outside if you can. There are A-lot of ducks and baby ducklings that will wonder around so be careful! Also keep an eye on your food because the seagulls are bold enough to help themselves haha! The seating inside it really nice also. We went on a Monday morning and it was quite busy, I imagine its much worse in the weekends. The iced coffee oddly had no ice. I assume they pour the shot over the ice cream as well because we didn’t seem to find any in our drink (melted?) and it was more of a chilled temperature than cold or iced. The scone and carrot cake were really good!The menu’s definitely need a wipe. They are really grubby.
Took some recently arrived relatives for lunch. Lovely food, would have been nice to have it altogether instead of separately. Only one dish required heating. With unfamiliar visitors it would be useful to have direction showing which way to queue. Given there were 5 parties in the queue, it wasn't the best idea for the person on the till to leave when there was only one other till. Very clean and well presented.
Took a large group and waiting staff, particularly Grace, couldn't have been more helpful.
Got tables put together, extra chairs etc, all without fuss.
Outstanding .Grace and her staff were fantastic. Food cane quickly and no pressure to leave.
Another outstanding cafe in Christchurch. The body prefect barrister definitely makes a mouth watering cup of coffee. Addition to the view of the garden the scones is to die for, served with butter and homemade jam. The spring season also have many ducklings wonder around the outdoor courtyard waiting for foods. So overall a wonderful experience and can't wait to be back again.
I emceed a wedding there, I was impressed with the staff and their commitment to making sure everything works really well. They communicated well, we’re flexible when needed and followed the schedule well.
The food was a hit with everyone. Being a vegan I was well looked after. From entree to main course and finally an amazing desert.
I even returned again the next day for lunch and got the vegan sandwich off the menu. It was yummm.
Went there today with a group of 10 of us. The staff coped so well and were very attentive. Food there has improved so much. Menu great and food so well presented and delicious. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
A beautiful spot on a sunny day with lots of outdoor seating and sun shades.
We came for lunch and found excellent vegetarian options and the all important fries are delish! Has an excellent salad selection too. Friendly and helpful staff and great service.
Came with our dance students and some parents for breakfast and we're pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely delicious AND beautifully presented. Well priced for the great quality. Also a plus that the outdoor area has its own till. Everyone loved everything.
Delivers a consistently excellent coffee experience, particularly a soy latte, and provides a delightful array of sweet treats. A serene stopover for those exploring the nearby botanic garden.
Great food, and the waitress was the nicest person EVER! Definitely made my day with her friendly attitude towards everyone. 10/10 recommended!
The Botanical gardens are a pleasure to visit the perfect back drop to sit under an awning, duck watching with a large latte. The batista make a great latte.
