One of not too many places open in Timaru after 5pm. Good menu but super inexperienced girls. Update: today we got 2 coffees but not in takeaway cups as we ordered. The girl clearly wrote takeaway cofee and inshop cakes but end result was different
On a Sunday morning I went in search of a heart starting coffee - there is limited choice at 8am. The Coffee Culture seemed a likely candidate to assuage my warm caffeine desire.
The coffee was quite nice and mostly hit the right places on an early Sunday morning.
The service seemed good until it came to the final part of the transaction. I ordered a coffee to consume in the alfresco tables and made my desire known to the waitress who took my order. Something went wrong in the transition to the barista because they put it in a to-go cup even when they realised I would be sitting in the establishment. It is small and a bit karenish but that is not the experience I wanted to have. Was it a passive-aggressive clue that they didn't want me around? Or... staff not paying attention to their job?
So if you want an above average coffee on a Sunday morning, then Coffee Culture is the go and make sure you want it to go.
Great coffee and food. Good service. Perfect. I love the extras such as the chocolate coffee bean balls with the coffees and the free sparkling water. Great choices on the menu also! I have been to a few un NZ and Timaru is my favourite.

THE ONLY TASTY COFFEE IN WHOOLE TOWN! Very tasty cream soups, but we can't get and eat them (if u wanna try u need to come in the morning) they also have tasty bagles especially with salmon, the desserts are tasty too but the coffee is best, I would really recommend to visit this cafe (by the way they have good music)
Very good coffee and service 👌. Good food
Was a nice place I had a banana smoothie & croissant.The smoothie was okay not very sweet and very bland.
Delicious coffee scones were very nice indeed, definitely go there again
Have been working in Timaru this last month and has been my go-to for coffee and food. The Spinach/Cream Cheese scroll is 👌 had about 20 haha. Disappointingly went today and ordered a chicken bacon filo and received a mushroom filo and can’t stand mushrooms. The line was out the door and was very busy so didn’t have time to let staff know. Left uneaten. Apart from that one of the best 5 star cafes in Timaru.
Nice and cozy place to have breakfast and great coffee! Sometimes I'm quite fussy but the staff was very friendly and helpful with my requests. The soy in my coffee didn't come through (might be because of caffeine deficiency ;)) but they made me a new one without any problem. Can definitely recommend!
Great coffees every time I've been.
Just wanted to leave a review to say that the staff that worked on the morning of 27 December did so well.They were extremely busy with a steady flow of people coming in not giving them a chance to catch a break. However they were professional,efficient and got everybody's food and beverages to them in a timely manner.
Lovely Friendly Staff, Reasonably Priced, Great Variety & Delicious & Coffee 😊 Recommend Pie - Mince,beer,bacon,potato top - goes well with relish we had Yummy & cakes are nice too ☕🍰
Friendly service. Bagels of all types are a speciality. Big selection of cakes.
Good food and friendly staff. Highly recommend !
