Travelled around the whole South island on a vacation and this was the best coffee we had. Had to stop by on the way back out of Christchurch for another round! Whatever you're doing underground, you're doing it right, 5/5! Creamy and delicious!

Great little coffee stall tucked away in riverside! They make nice strong chai lattes. Fast and friendly service always. Our go to whenever we pop in to town.

Consistently amazing coffee every time! Mocha, long black & iced latte was on point!
