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.

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.

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!

Since moving from Nelson to Auckland years back I lost touch with the 'hot' eateries in my…read morehometown, which is why I was very dependent on Yelp reviews in determining where I'd eat whilst visiting. Cafe Affair was the highest rated of any joint in the Nelson area - racking up two 5 star reviews for a (then) perfect score. For this reason I dragged myself and family through the revolving doors for breakfast with high hopes. The menu was very simple - which I assumed was because Nelson isn't as busy as bigger cities and its therefore smarter business practice to provide a few good quality items rather than plenty of rubbish ones. However, I was wrong and as a result, sorely disappointed. I ordered the big breakfast which included sausages, potato hash, bacon, herbed toast and vine tomatoes. Not one element of this meal was enjoyable, let alone worth the $18 I paid for it. Everything was just store bought, plain old supermarket food - but not even good quality supermarket food. I feel bad saying this, because the staff were very lovely, but I could have made a better breakfast with my eyes closed. My mother was similarly unimpressed with her eggs benedict, which I felt responsible for since I had dragged us to Cafe Affair. If it weren't for my uncle (who is short on cash, lives off baked beans and NEVER has the pleasure of eating out) who was very impressed with his French toast, I would have complained and sent the meals back. However, I didn't want to ruin his experience so my mother and I bit our tongues and paid. While I do think the staff are pleasant, they can't make up for the dreadful food. I recommend people spend their money elsewhere and avoid Cafe Affair entirely.
