I'm still confused on how to order my coffee in this county. I just like iced coffee but a barista the day before said it's called a flat white here. So we ordered those which are actually cappuccinos. They were pretty!! But not what I like... (not their fault). I knew the Eggs Benedict looked delicious in all the pictures I had seen but I was intrigued by the poached eggs, kumara, and avocado dish. The lady helped me pick that one since it's so unique and apparently a big seller. Again, my fault for thinking it was going to be an avocado toast with bits of potato. I don't know where I got that from, it doesn't even say toast on there. Anyways, I didn't care for it or the texture of the kumara. There was also only a small slice or two of avocado tucked in there. Not my fave, but if I had an extra day I would have given it a second try with the eggs Benedict or French toast.

A great cafe to stop by while visiting the famous Pelorus Bridge (one of the filming locations for…read moreThe Lord of The Rings.) We enjoyed their mince pie and steak and cheese pie. Their mince pie tasted like the Bolognese sauce with tomatoes which I thought was interesting because there's usually no tomatoes in mince pie. The steak and cheese pie had nice chunks of beef and my partner really enjoyed it! There are a few hiking trails that start around this cafe so it's a perfect place to relax and have a cup of coffee after the hike!

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.

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.

We parked and ordered at the front- I got the French toast, food was delivered in a timely manner. The French toast was so fluffy- I enjoyed it because the berry compost balanced out the sweetness. I didn't even need the syrup. I got myself a to go box so I could enjoy the rest of the French toast on the beach. Overall- seems like your average brunch spot. Loved that it's open concept and half the seating is uncovered.

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.
