Well worth the drive from Christchurch for a casual breakfast. I ordered a flat white and a savory corn muffin, which was a surprisingly filling but delicious little pastry for breakfast. If you're eating outside, just watch out for any seagulls eyeing your food. They don't bother you, but will certainly swoop in if you step away. Also note that there are no takeout coffee cups here, so be sure to bring your own for takeaway.

Ordered a skim milk latte and a decaf- told they had neither skim milk or decaf. No apology or explanation that they had run out. The way it was said made me think they never do, by choice. If that's the case, next time I might choose not to go there.

It was more of an undone type of avocado toast with seasonings, poached eggs, tomatoes, and some sort of tangy butter or aioli, I'm not sure. It was just so pleasing to the eye and tasty! I did have much more avocado left, so I wished it had a bit more bread but it was still a good amount of food. I would recommend, it seemed to be a busy place with a few tables inside and some outside seating. Also a great spot on regent street next to other shops.

This is a great, small cafe that specializes in all things coffee, but also pumps out some pretty amazing cafe dishes as well. I'm pointing at you, Bacon and Egg Brioche. I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to pair with my flat white because their menu items sound just as appetizing as their case items look. The menu is small, which helps you make the decision quickly, but I can promise that no matter what you order, you won't be disappointed. Seating is limited so I wouldn't bring a group of friends (5 tables) but it's great for a coffee date or for takeaway.

It definitely caters to a more health conscious, free spirited crowd, so it was a nice change of pace. I started off with a beetroot latte which was surprisingly very good. Since the menu had so many great looking options, plus there is some prepared food by the counter, we opted to try a few smaller dishes and share. All were delicious and healthy! I appreciate when food has a unique twist to make it different than expected and that was key to making this place stand out for me. Also, the artwork around the cafe was a complimentary addition to make you enjoy your time there.
