The simple food is cooked well with nice ingredients and good presentation. I enjoyed my burrito bowl immensely: good mixture of ingredients and a good amount of spicy zing to it all.

The service, like everywhere else at Bay of Many Coves is impeccable. Breakfast isn't quick to arrive, but I've found that to be the case everywhere in New Zealand. The eggs here are so fresh that the yolks are a vibrant orange. We loved the Eggs Benedict breakfast and the quinoa salad lunch. The steak cut French fries are also delicious. The burgers were just okay, as were the pancakes. The European continental breakfast was average, but the marmalade served with was fantastic. The yogurt and granola was also delicious. Service is a 5. Food varies from 3-5, depending on what you order. Nothing is bad, though.

The coffee, bean Burritto with hot sauce on the side, and Cranky Goat tasted so fresh and delicious I didn't care it was a vegan meal! What a gem of a find in Blenheim! The prices are very reasonable ($7 & $10) and the crowd is all age groups. I saw kids, hipsters and old couples eating here. Would recommend to anyone visiting to try this place out.

Even my sweetest of sweet teeth had had enough of the sugary pancake breakfasts I'd been eating…read morethroughout our trip, so I homed in on the "pan con tomate" at the Morri Street Cafe for a savory breakfast refresher and quickly fell in love. This is your dish if you aren't an egg person but still want something savory and complex, but there are plenty of other great options too. The Morri Street Cafe was spacious, low-key, and perfect for either a quick grab-and-go or a more leisurely morning wake up.

On our drive back to Christchurch we stopped here after many recommendations from travel books…read more Morrison Street Cafe is a low-key, simply decorated cafe that caters more to the stomach than the eyes. Touted as more of a locals spot, there is a community board on the wall and the artwork on the wall is often for sale. When there is a gap in available artwork and the walls are bare, the space can get particularly loud, especially with young children and groups of people dining. The service is still pretty efficient despite the crowds. We had a trim flat white, an Americano, the eggs Benedict with local bacon and the salted caramel & strawberry pancakes. The eggs benedict was spot on perfection with an incredible light but well-prepared hollandaise to top. The eggs were cooked just right and the bacon had a slight crisp to the edges. The eggs Benedict came heaped with spinach and chives which added a great flavor and added touch of healthiness on top of the soft bagel the Benedict was served on. Needless to say, the plate was licked clean. The pancakes were made with a wholemeal batter and were extremely fluffy. The pancakes were topped with fresh strawberries and a rhubarb compote that was bright, tart and totally complemented the salted caramel sauce that was served in lieu of syrup. If you've never had pancakes with caramel sauce, you must try it here. I had my dish served with yoghurt but cream is also an option. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick and friendly. If you're stopping in Nelson, you absolutely must find your way over to Morrison Street Cafe.

I came here to Comes and Goes back in November (yes, I know it's June as I write this but seeing as…read morethere's not many reviews on yelp I feel like I have to do this place a service by being a more recent review) after hopping off our cruise ship to explore Wellington with my wife and some friends, and this cafe sits in a beautiful area of town that's very homey and feels like you're venturing through a hallmark movie. It was small and quiet inside as it was still morning, so the wait staff was all the more attentive and quick to answer any questions we had about the menu. My wife is gluten free, and they were able to accommodate her mushroom toast order with gluten free bread (taste was out of this world, it came with a fried cheese tuile on top that just added so much more savoriness), and my Turkish eggs with halloumi was a light but perfectly satiating plate that had a lot of bold flavors coming from the shakshuka style sauce. Our friends got a seasonal special croissant sandwich as well as their bibimbap plate, and considering they spent the entire time eating and not saying anything I would consider that a resounding "yes this is amazing". They also had an amazing raspberry matcha that was so unbelievably creamy and delicious, I highly recommend trying it with oat milk if that fits your fancy. We were visiting from the US, and the prices I would say are comparable to a First Watch. Reasonable for a nice brunch when you're trying something out in a new city. I'm already planning my next trip out to AUS and NZ, and I know for sure I'm going to make this place a must-stop.
