Fabulous suburban - literally - cafe that we found just down the road from the air bnb we stayed in. Great atmosphere, clean, tidy, cabinet food looked great and menu looked good. Not being big breakfast fans we opted for an almond pastry, heated, to go with our most important first coffee of the day. Both were excellent 👌🏽 and we demolished it all before I thought of taking photos 😁, Dale, 3 months ago > Had a delicious Chilli egg scramble and custard slice , Would highly recommend, Brian Dsouza, 6 months ago > Nice music, atmosphere and service. The food was very tasty and I really liked their Latte. We weren't expecting grilled salmon on the bagel but it was really good especially with the addition of capers. I like the bacon they used in the breaky bun. The custard square was also great., R S, 4 years ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.57790924195777&lon=172.54616323726265) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.57790924195777,172.54616323726265,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Suburban%20Rascal) - [Halswell](https://www.chch.live/halswell), the suburb ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Suburban Rascal?** A restaurant in Halswell, Christchurch. **Where is Suburban Rascal?** 53 Caulfield Avenue Halswell, on [Caulfield Avenue Halswell](https://www.chch.live/street/halswell/caulfield-avenue).
