Neat place in the city centre. They have pneumatic tubes that deliver hot chips, which is quite cool! Their staff are lovely and the hot drinks are always good.
The only downside to it being such a great place is that it's always packed and loud.
Had a lovely long black and shared the big breakfast which was yummy. The staff are friendly and attentive and food is beautifully presented. Definitely recommend for a bite to eat when in Christchurch
Cute café full of fun and cheekiness, they have great coffee as well as food too.
We ordered:
Open Breakfast Burrito (Quite a big dish with a finishing touch of poached egg on top)
French Toast (very cute and pretty, but not overly sweet!)
Cauliflower nuggets & Fish and Chips (which are awesomely served through their famous pneumatic tubes with a personal touch, be careful when twisting the dish open as contents may spill out),
Pulled Pork Nachos (Big portion)
Big breakfast “Super Choice Bro” (got bits of EVERYTHING)
The entrance to the bathroom is via a secret bookcase that opens up, and you might even be lucky enough to find a fly in your mug! The workers are also humourous too.
They also sell coffee beans, I enjoyed their long black which was rich, and also tried their Bullet Proof coffee too. They also have an extensive list of tea for non-coffee drinkers.
Will visit again (just a short flight from Auckland)!
Great place for brunch. Food is excellent and well priced. Great location and good atmosphere. Don’t miss the opportunity to get fries through pneumatics tubes!
This cafe is quite interesting! All of their food is put in small metal cylinders and delivered to guests by the tunnels. When food is arrived, there are bells ringing to inform. With all these funny stuffs, I was actually an explorer discovering and learning inside. In terms of their coffee and food, they were perfect as well. The flat white smelled so good and fish n chips was super crisp. I will definitely miss this place!
great place! very original way of delivering food to your table and the atmosphere is nice. although the food did take a while it was tasty and i understand that it was busy that morning. will definitely be back next time i’m in christchurch!
This place is AMAZING! So different and fun! Makes you want to fly down to Christchurch just to go back and take your friends!
I had the Eggs Montreal, tastiest Montreal I've had! Full of flavour and instead of toast there was a beautiful tasty hash brown!!!
My Dad had Pulled Pork Nachos which he raved about :D
Veeery Impressed and next time will order fries so they come through the tubes in the ceiling!!
Lovely place. Coffee was pretty good but not as great as I expected (I ordered a mocha but got a fw) and food was nice.
The setup was beautiful.
These guys buy from Samoa so I'm definitely giving them a 4 star rating. Thank you for supporting local businesses that espouse sustainable living.
Awesome vibe and creativity. Best fish and chips and great coffee. Burgers a bit bland though. Best banoffee ever, great texture, taste and presentation. The bathroom plays an audio book of harry potter and the place has awesome hidden quirks like food delivered via a pneumatic tube !!
Was visiting Chch by myself and decided to visit this café since it has great reviews. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be, the vibe inside was great, love the music selection - keep in mind I was alone so I don't mind at all - but you do need to shout a bit if you go with friends. The matcha & hemp latte is amazing - but I am biased towards Matcha. The salmon benedict is 10/10 in presentation and looks delicious at first sight, great hash browns and hollandaise sauce, there is a good amount of salmon; however the poached eggs are slightly overcooked, was a bit disappointed to see a solid chunk of yolk (in both eggs!) - see pic. Have told this to the waitress so hopefully the message has got through. Would love to come here with people one day and try the rest of the menu. Thank you!
Came here after a flight and before a drive, definitely a nice place to have breakfast and some nice quirky features. The food was pretty good and the servings were plentiful. I especially liked the tea and the fact they gave me extra tea leaves to bring home.
Love that they offer dairy free options. Was able to enjoy an iced chocolate for the first time in a long time. I didn't enjoy the fried chicken I ordered though, there was pretty much no meat to it

Very cool atmosphere! Especially the bookcase door to the bathrooms! Loved the pneumatic tubes look, but in order to fit the sandwiches and fries, portions are a bit small. I expected the fries to be sent separately knowing how tiny the tubes are. There was no warning when the tube was sent either so we missed seeing it in the actual tube system. The tubes are also very hard to open and with no instructions on how to open. Another customer asked me later on how I got mine open cause she was also struggling.
My friends ordered the Chemex coffee, and it was a make it yourself thing (didn’t mention on the menu). They had never made this kind of coffee and in general didn’t want to have to make their own coffee in the morning (kind of why you go out to eat in general instead of making breakfast yourself). Same with my friends salmon avocado toast. They just sent out the ingredients and you had to assemble them yourself. We were almost done with our food by the time she had finished putting her breakfast together. But the waffles! So sooooo good. Best of the food items we ordered by far.
This café makes one of the best flat whites in the city. Have been here several times in the last month and the consistency is pretty good. The ambience is great too, more relaxed than some frenetically busy places, having good sound absorption. There's a nice external streetside courtyard too.
Love how quirky this place is. Loved the pneumatic tube delivery. The iced choc is amazing. Love the bookshelf door to the decorated toilet aisle and the harry potter audiobook while on the toilet. Great outing. Loved it
Great place to go for coffee, fantastic old Post Office complete with working pneumatic delivery tubes, which depending on what food you order, is delivered to your table in a sealed canister via the tubes. Pretty cool watching your order fly about the ceiling in the spaghetti of tubes and have it plonk out at your table.
Coffee was great, albeit in smaller cups than I would have liked, when I order a large flat white, I want a large cup!
Atmosphere is great and going to the toilets behind the secret door is an adventure in itself.
Great place to take friends or family who've come to town to stay.
Go there! I'll definitely be back 😌
I gotta admit that I was apprehensive going to C1 after reading reviews of the service, but the lady who took my order was nothing but patient as she made recommendations when I asked for it. As written in many reviews, the food is sent to your nearest point of retrieval via the pneumatic tubes which runs through C1.
In terms of the coffee, it was pleasant but wasn’t the best that I’d had. Strangely, it was more aromatic when it cooled down. The burger was satisfying, but again, nothing to write home about. But overall, the atmosphere was lovely
Such a cool cafe to pop into for a cup of coffee. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing and really cool seeing the food being delivered to everyone through the tubes. Cappuccinos are delicious, highly recommended.
No kidding, this is literally my favorite coffee shop anywhere in the world so far. The coffee and the food are very good, everyone is friendly, and the design of the space is just great. I loved everything about it and wish I could take the whole thing home with me.
Good vibes and good service. Maybe a bit higher priced but u come here for the atmosphere. The great rest rooms🤣. The service. The pneumatic experience. We had drinks and fries. 👌👌👌
