It wasn't very busy but I was intrigued by the fabulous collection of china cups and other pieces. My lunch was fine (poached eggs, salad and cheese) but the atmosphere wins the day. There's no sense of hurry here. People come in and enjoy a leisurely visit. I hadn't planned to stay long, but I did. It was so enjoyable. Coffee is good. There's parking at the rear too. Thank you.

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.

If that's the case, next time I might choose not to go there.

The cheese and chive scone came warmed up with butter, making it all that more delicious. I also decided to go for a pot of French breakfast tea ($4). It was the perfect place to make me wake up. I loved how the front area of the restaurant catered to dogs, with metal holes for leashes to attach and water bowls throughout the area.

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.

Busy busy place but it's big and spacious inside so they can handle all the people. You might have to eat on the sofa in the front by the front door but ayyy food is worth the inconvenience haha. They always keep their menu simple which is nice because it makes deciding what to eat easier. One page and they vary it with a few options. The famous English style breakfast, eggs benny, some more general breakfast choices and what I got, the french toast plate with streaky bacon. In NZ they like to cook their bacon a little underdone which I didn't think I would like but I love it! They put in between the toast add some fruit, syrup and cream. It was amazing! I'm that guy that usually orders the best thing out of my friends and they all wish they got what I got.. this was one of those times haha. Definitely recommend.. It's a bit pricey here, between $17 - $23 depending on your choice. My French Toast was $20. They're famous for coffee here but I'm not really into coffee much(don't hate me) but I did get hooked on Chai lattes. Spicy or sweet, it's up to you. I wasn't feeling so spicy that morning, hangover vibes... so I got sweet. You order at a counter and then seat yourself. Instead of giving numbers to ID your table they give you a random country flag. Funny enough, the cashier said I look either Canadian or from California. So she gave me the Canada flag. Thanks EH. Do I really give off such a strong California vibe? I got that a few times when traveling around hahah. Amazing food, nice interior vibes, Chai was dank. 5 stars!
