Reviews
"Really cute place and nice atmosphere. Food was overpriced for what it was. Staff on till didn’t seem too happy to be there, no smiles."
"Came in for lunch and went with the beef burger with chips as everything else wasn’t too appetising. Service was quite slow and the staff repeatedly mixed our orders up with other customers. The price for the meals weren’t worth the taste, but the environment is nice and refreshing with good seating, and plenty of greenery."
"The cafe manager seemed a bit taken aback when we showed up for our lunch booking, but she eventually allowed us to sit down and order. The food was adequate, and the menu is very extensive - something for everyone! Pretty expensive though. Sandwich bread was good, but the napkins underneath were impossible to use - just immediately soaked with sandwich filling. The fries came unsalted so tasted pretty bland. Coffee was good."
"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."
