Review Cocoa Black - Christchurch

Kate Hennessy

Only found this place recently, but it's safe to say this will be my new regular for coffee and food. It's a small cafe but cute and cosy. The coffee is consistent, and the perfect temperature. The food selection is great - I've tried the chicken club sandwich and a sweet muffin, they were both fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend it here 💗

Coffee is very good, as are their scones! The only downside is that seating is tight and it can be crowded - but it has got a good "this is a great spot only locals know about" sort of vibe to it. Recommended.

Great food, although its always busy and very small your food will come soon and will come delicious

A must go place if you love your scones! Costumer service was friendly and welcoming, presentation and taste 10/10. I'm a local in the area and will be going back there, you can count on that! Keep it up :)

We come here quite a lot for trays of eggs but really I’m there for the scrolls & a coffee 😂 it’s pretty difficult to pass on the cheese & ham scroll! My favourite local!

The ultimate trust and kindness from staff and owner here. I forgot my back pack with wallet on Sunday not realising until 2 hrs up the road. Contacted via Facebook and they safely kept bag for 3 days until we returned. Coffee and food top notch too!

Best Chai Latte I have had in a loooong time. Triple cheese scones hot out of the oven . I followed the aromas through the car park and it was a good decision ..Service was friendly and efficient. Well done

So lovely every time I go there, cheese scones are the best in town and recently tried the chicken toasties...delish !!!! The coffees are always hot and perfect strength and I really like the staff that work there now. I have gone here a lot over the years and sometimes the staff used to be a bit un interested with customers. I guess the great staff there now are down to the management and the owner is really nice, friendly and attentive. I will be back again next weekend :)

Great coffee and service. Worth a visit.

How coffee should be made ,food on point fresh hot and generous servings , a fan immediately, pity front of shop used to store empty milk containers, cramping limited space and access.

I’ve come here twice recently. Food and coffee is great! I would give 5 stars but the counter service is a little awkward, there was no acknowledgement for several minutes while staff were busy sorting food and drinks. No smiles or thankyou either... makes it a little uncomfortable. Also, you may want to consider removing the tap sticking out of the wall by the coffee machine, my friend hit his head when he sat down. I’ll be back but I hope the service improves.

Ordered a meal with avocado that was extremely far from ripe (I couldn't cut it with a butter knife). I was surprised it was served this way, especially since it had to be cut before plating (and should have been caught). I didn't bother returning it as I was having such a lovely time with the group I came with. Hopefully by leaving all the avocado on my plate, the manager noticed.

Our busy little local. Cheerful service, consistently good coffee and some of the best toasted cheese scones around.

Cute little cafe at Merivale mall. Keto slice was yum, coffee average. My daughter enjoyed the caramel slice and hot choc.

Russell Thomson

Coffee and a savoury scone. Both excellent. Great place to meet for a coffee.

A place where you know you will always get a solid coffee. Just what you need when you don't want to be disappointed. Delish

Amazing, amazing game staff, amazing experience.

Went here with my daughter and it was terrible. Very unfriendly staff and bad customer service.
