Love meshino. Love eggs on toast with bacon. Love the kids play area. Love the friendly staff that care about the customers. Love the fact it has been opened for over 10 years. 5 star all the way.
The food here is alway super yummy! The service is great here aswell :) the only thing I dislike is when they get busy there's not enough seating.
Not really sure why there's so many negative reviews? Came here with my mum, as she really likes the place and suggested we go in.
I had a Spinach & Cashew Pinwheel and a White Choc, Nut & Berry Brownie. My mum had a Salmon Frittata and a Date Crumble. I've read negative comments on the food here and we thought the food was amazing! The date crumble was so good!
Service was nice and it was quite busy but everyone who served us was really lovely. Coming from a hospitality background I enjoy good service and the girls working there were great! Unfortunately they forgot our coffees and I had to chase them up, the girl at the counter was very apologetic and they were made right away for us.
I would definitely go back here, I don't understand all the hate!

I don't understand why this cafe has had such crap reviews. I actually found it very pleasant. I went there twice in one day as I had an appointment nearby.
I had a decaf mocha and gluten free choc treat first. The coffee was good and the GF treat was excellent, moist, rich with a molten choc centre. I was intending to share some with my son but ate it all while he was playing :/
Came back later and had a delicious kumara, cream cheese and caramelised onion tart with a nice green salad which was piping hot (I am pregnant and it is always annoying to have to send something back to be reheated because it comes out luke warm and isn't safe to eat). Summer lunch menu was very appealing and reasonably priced - all mains were $25 including the steak meal.
The environment was lovely, light and airy with heaps of windows, but enough exposed wood, funky artworks and black accents to avoid being washed out. nice outside table area with plenty of seating. Staff were friendly and service quick.
It was really child-friendly. There was a sofa area with a box of toys, two good quality high chairs and a gated outside area with a mini table and chairs and small plastic fort.
The only bum note, which was a major one unfortunately, was that the environs needed a thorough clean. My son went for a 30 second crawl inside and when I picked him up afterwards the tops of his feet had gone from pasty white to charcoal!! There were a few too many deceased flies on the windowsill, the toys were very grubby (with soil in some, even though they were inside toys??) and both high chairs needed a clean, even when we first came in at before 8am, so it was unlikely they had been used that day. After feeding my son I gave the chair a thorough wipe with wet wipes and it was visibly cleaner than when we started the feed - not usually the way that goes!
Apart from the cleaning, this is a great cafe and I would be keen to try a meal there.
Had a dinner here at 6pm on a Saturday night. Service was very good, waitress was very friendly and attentive, in fact quite switched on. We shared an entree of terrain which was excellent, toast was slightly too crispy and hard. Husband had rabbit risotto which he said was good, rabbit could have been a little larger but it tasted great. I had the salmon and it was delicious. All in all, it was very good and any criticisms we had were very small and did not impact on our whole experience. Certainly was good value for money considering the meals we had. Will be back.
Service was quick, staff friendly and offered to put up sun umbrella for us. Only thing was my friend had booked but they said there was no booking. Didn't matter as there were plenty of tables free but I've seen a similar comment on their past reviews and wonder if this is an issue for them.
After coming here for over 3 months now, it's safe to say this is my all time favorite place to get a Mocha, Nothing else comes close in comparison! Always greeted by friendly staff with my drink waiting 🙏 please never change! Excited to try out the food when I have more time!
Also literally less than a dollar more than a yucky BP coffee!
Came to Christchurch this weekend and found this little gem of a cafe! Great coffee and great cabinet food. Stoked with a 6.30am opening on a Saturday morning, perfect for an early bird like me. Go check it out ✔️

One of our favourites. Coffee is always good, and service friendly and efficient. The food never disappoints. We love being able to sit outside with the dog. Whenever we need 'time out' from life it's our 'go-to'. It's relaxing and kinda comforting as well
Super cute spot with yummy food and drinks. The barista even fixed my drink when I asked for more chai. She gave great recommendations for our roadtrip around NZ and was very friendly and sweet!
Had a great bagel and coffee, nice outdoor sitting area. Will be back
I'm a new customer, been a couple of times early in the morning. Staff are sooooo friendly, food is amazing and coffee has been awesome. No nasty bitter burnt carry on. Absolutely recommend.
My scone was still hot from the oven this morning!
Very busy this morning with people eating in and take-aways. I had a delicious smoked chicken roulade and a gorgeous lemon tart both gluten free.
This is really one of the best cafe’s around Christchurch that offer a wide selection of food and drink with great value. The food is high quality and always comes out of the kitchen quickly. It has easy access for parking and central to the CBD. A great venue to bring clients and have relaxed meetings. Highly recommended!
Lovely presentation, great service. Finally staff. Gluten free/ celiac options. Lovely coffee
Quite a nice cafe. It has always got people in the cafe and is very popular. It has a great environment and hence a nice atmosphere. The food is fresh and there is a nice courtyard if it's fine and warm.
Car parking is normally good but it Is on the street so if it fills up close to the cafe very quickly.
Visited there today (21 March 2022) and I thought the carrot cake I bought wasn't that fresh nonetheless it was still ok and tasted good. It did come with cream.
It hasn't changed apart from when I first wrote about the place, except for the covid signage etc.
Finally found a good local cafe..easy parking, quality food, friendly service...
I live in Wellington, every time I am in Christchurch for work, I come here, this is the best place to get a chicken salad. I leave talking about it for ages! Can’t wait for my next trip.
Consistently good food,coffee and service with a nice atmosphere.
Building a little bit noisy but could be my age.

Went to Meshino Cafe for brunch last weekend.
Got a table straight away and promptly ordered.
Ordered a Meshino Breakfast and a salmon bagel, was very satisfying and filling.
Would definitely return again.
Best place to have a coffee in st Albans. Setting, atmosphere, friendliness of the staff really made this experience good.
