Alexandria
★★★★★“Fantastic in every way. Conveniently located along the Anniversary Trail so perfect to pop by for a drink. Patio area was beautiful and well lit. Food and drinks were delicious, pictured is the brown rice salad and matcha. Friendly service. Highly recommend!”

★★★☆☆“The atmosphere is pleasant and busy. Very vibrant. I ordered a chai latte and calamari salad. The chai latte is okay, but the calamari salad is disappointing. Fried calamari is soggy and tasteless. I like the salad, but it is just regular cabbage pickle, which is common in Asian side dishes. Staff are fast and busy so will take a bit to get their attention. However, the plus point is that the waitress was energetic and positive.”

★★★★★“We have been coming here about fortnightly for almost 10 years. The food is top notch, and the service is excellent. Wife and I ordered a sandwich as a mid morning snack to share, and they served 2 halves on separate plates without asking. Coffee is genuinely one of the best in town (coming from an ex barista). Clean, milk never burnt. Thanks for the years of good food and drink. See you in a fortnight.”

★★★★★“Cute little cafe in Ashburton, cosy atmosphere & the staff were friendly & helpful. We ordered eggs for brunch, they were cooked to perfection, mushrooms were yum 😋 For drinks we ordered a strawberry matcha 🍵 & a smoothie which were also good, however I thought the serving size was a little small for the cost🧋 We had a little mishap when paying, they charged us for a coffee we didn’t order but that was quickly rectified & they threw in a free coffee ☕️ Customer service here is 👌🏾 Would defs go back ☕️”
