> One of the best breakfast in Christchurch. Nice atmosphere, excellent and delicious food and outstanding people, so attentive to detail. A must go if you are in Christchurch, Adriana Marrero, 3 months ago
> Cool place. Plenty of seating and great coffee. Had the eggs Benny and they were absolutely delish. Will be back!!!, Tabatha Milne, 8 months ago
> Modern and sleek yet still a retro vibe due to the mismatched chairs and beautiful artwork on the walls. Went with my best friend for breakfast, a rare thing since we usually work night shifts. Lovely atmosphere and relaxing music. The food was sensational, the bacon Benny for myself and the Veggie breakfast for my friend. Top notch staff, greeted by the manager as soon as we walked in and had an amazing interaction with Karen when ordering. She is especially delightful and definitely one of the kindest people I've ever interacted with., Jade Geldenhuis, 3 years ago
