I was all set to go back to the hotel after a lovely evening of beers when I spotted gelato and…read moredang it, I couldn't refuse. Lots of choices and for 9:00 on a weeknight, the place was busy. It was almost... rollickin'. I chose "peanut pants" and a small serving which ended up being quite large. A mix of peanut butter gelato and chocolate gelato, it was delicious. Creamy, fresh and yummy. Just what I needed to end a perfect day of exploring Christchurch. [Review 402 of 2024 - 55 in New Zealand - 21435 overall]

This little cafe is a highlight on trendy New Regent St. in Christchurch. From the photo op with…read morethe gorilla on the bench outside to the tasty ice cream decadence inside, it's an after-dinner delight for everyone. There's a bit of a queue to navigate in the evening, but it's worth the wait. And the service is good so the line moves relatively quickly. On our visit, we tried the Charlie's Choccy Cake, which is a hot chocolate cake with chocolate ganache with a scoop of ice cream of your choice and a dab of coconut yogurt. It was wonderful, and I'm glad we split it. It would have been too rich for one. It was less than $10 NZD per person, so it was well worth it. I hope we have the chance to try it again.

The menu had some familiar breakfast items combined with mostly Korean flavors. We found our own table and then went to the cashier to order (note 2% credit card surcharge added), got a number and then food and drinks delivered in short order to the table to the table. Dak Jakk was a porridge like dish filled with shredded chicken, an onsen egg and kim chee on the side. It was warm and comforting on that cold, rainy morning. Noki Benny with chadolbaegi (thinly slice beef brisket) was really quite good. I liked the crispy hash brown as the base instead of bread. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the tom yum hollandaise and kimchi furikake gave it a nice unique taste. The chaolbaegi was a nice protein side that complemented the dish. A great fusion of flavors for a satisfying breakfast. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back here on a future trip even as it's a walk from CBD.

Got some nice-looking strawberries. Mostly self-checkout / pay by card, but help is available if something goes amiss or you want to pay cash.
