Stumbled across this cafe when I was looking for a place to study in Christchurch. They had nice outdoor seating with a rustic/modern look. I ordered the waffles, and it was a rich and delectable treat that looked pretty, too! I'm happy to have found a nice cafe to indulge my sweet tooth! I also enjoyed their meat pie.
I really like this place - very good breakfast served until 2:30, fast, efficient service, and cool atmosphere: wood everywhere, blackboards with Poe-ish chalk drawings of ravens, warehouse ceiling and comfy chairs. No wonder this place is so popular. I tried the French toast crumpet with fruit compote which was very nice (14.50) - with sweetness from the raspberries balanced by the tartness of the yogurt. Not sure the bananas are necessary, but you get those too. Good flat white - only had to go with one sugar where I usually need 2. For the purist, they also have a coffee tasting set if you want to explore their variety of beans.
After following Google maps with several trips around the block we found this warm and buzzy cafe where we enjoyed good coffee and breakfast. Parking in a city one is unfamiliar with was a challenge but saw there are parks at the cafe's back entrance. The place was very busy attesting to its popularity.
This place feels a little tucked away but it's worth the stretch of the legs to discover this beautiful cheery cafe. The staff are friendly, quick to clear tables and keep the place looking welcoming. Although busy when I arrived it took no time for the coffee to turn up and with good upbeat background music, vibrant feel and lots of seating options this is the place to enjoy a good cup of Joe.
I'm a bit fussy with snack foods and hate sweet things so it's hard for me to find a snack at cafes that is small enough to be considered a snack but not a super sweet cake or slice. I ordered the Bounty Bar Slice purely because it has a little sign saying "refined sugar free" . Oh my lord it was amazing! They have heaps of gluten free options which is awesome for those customers. The place was packed solid at 11am on a Wednesday but the staff are efficient enough to handle it.
What a neat place! We are so glad we came here before we left town. The building is charming and fun to look around while inside. We had the boiled eggs and bacon twist and poached eggs on toast. Both super tasty and the bacon wasn't overly fatty. We arrived early and there wasn't any wait for brunch but it appeared to fill up quickly. They seem to really like their coffee and have coffee plants everywhere! Don't miss out!
Felling a little bit hungry and friends had recommended Black Betty to us, the food from the cabinet was very high quality. My wife had a sausage roll which much was bigger then it appeared and a mixture of quality sausage meat, vegetables and herbs, she loved it, and I had a whole-grain chicken brie and salad roll. Staff were nice, overall a very satisfying lunch.
I found Black Betty on yelp when we first arrived in Christchurch and were dying for some coffee and breakfast. I'm so glad that I listened to the reviews. This place is amazing. I'd kill to have it as my local haunt. They have a huge, really cool looking facility with plenty of seating. Their menu was broad and diverse. The coffee was the best though. Thoughtfully crafted, smooth and delicious. I absolutely loved it. Would it be weird if I flew half way across the world just to come back here?
Really cool Cafe in the centre of town. Was packed when we arrived at 11am on Sunday for brunch. But that is a sign that the place is going to be good. We found our own table and the waitress explained it was a 25 minute wait for the food regardlesss if it was kitchen or cabinet food. I ordered the avocado smash and a flat white. The coffee was amazing! I would come back just for that. The food was also top notch though. Great presentation and a generous portion. Overall a very good experience and would highly recommend this Cafe. Only thing to keep in mind is a wait time for food during peak times.
I'm a coffee snob. There I said it. I'm a coffee snob and this shop gets 4 stars. The coffee here is amazing. I had a soy milk latte and it was perfectly foamed and not burnt. I'll definitely be back here. I didn't have the food (still trying to swallow high NZ prices for brekkie) but what I saw coming out of the kitchen looked fresh, clean, and delicious. Staff were quick to talk about GF/DF options and said they could happily accommodate a range of diets. Thanks so much folks!

Great food, great coffee, free Wi-Fi, and a cool atmosphere. The coffee is good compared to other cafes, and the food is fantastic. Try the French toast crumpets. They also have a wide array of coffee brewing methods. I tried the "Aero-press" coffee and they explained in detail the process of that brewing method when they brought it to my table. read more

Lovely coffee shop with delicious food! I had the avocado toast which was incredibly tasty and reasonably priced. For coffee, I tried the siphon (also spelled syphon) brew of an Indonesian bean...absolutely delicious. Black Betty makes for a fantastic brunch spot with plenty of seating. read more

Used to be my favorite but not at more unfortunately. There is hair in the dish,the potato taste not right - something is out of date. When I ordered at the counter I wasn't even asked how I'd like to have the eggs cooked. read more

This place was fantastic. As a first timer, I was not sure how it all worked, so showed up Sunday morning to a line (fortunately inside). I stood there patiently waiting and watching amazing coffee and food pass by. I finally arrived to the counter after passing all the goodies. Made my order got a number, found a table and sat down. The coffee came first and my friend ordered tea. Her milk came in a little poison bottle which was very clever and cute. My latte was perfect! Food next. Spin on English breakfast. Impressive display and amazing flavor. The ambiance, food, and service were fantastic. read more
