Review Ambrosia Cafe - Richmond

Awesome food. The girls loved their iced chocolate and iced coffee. Hash browns (hash cake) was delicious. Awesome service and plenty of space between tables. The outdoor seating was well laid out. Located just outside Queen Street entrance into Richmond Mall. Big breakfast is a must. Thanks team.

Sooo yummy offers great selection of gluten & dairy free savoury & sweet plus coffee is consistently superb. Good value too. New deck and outside area great place to sit & watch the world go by.

Good coffee and nice spot. After a long walk around the mall it's the place you go to relax. Abut better than the Cafe inside the mall in my opinion. Never been much of a sweet food guy. But the counter treats look nice enough. Simple quick and good service, so would recomend here for your Richmond coffee.

Wandering around Richmond looking for a place to get some kai and kāwhe and came across this lovely Cafe. Service was excellent, kai and kāwhe was really ka pai and the mixed berry smoothie 😋. Great place to call in for kai or a kāwhe. Atmosphere was nice, had a really ka pai vibe.

Had a lovely lunch here today, the staff were very accommodating to my dietary requirements and even did 'something special' for us. Thank you for making me feel welcome ❤️❤️

I don’t know what is better - the service, the coffee or the food! Can always rely on Ambrosia to provide the goods. Nice work team 🙌🏻

Good coffee, great looking counter food and slices. Prices a bit high but seems to be typical of all the cafes around Nelson. The food we had was very tasty.

Absolutely love this place. Such a good customer service. Specially from the short purple hair lady. She is lovely. But also the puppuccino they make for best fried Howie (the dog)

Really great food and service

Service was efficent if not overly friendly. Coffee was very nice but I thought the price for food was a bit steep for what you got

Great place to eat always looks busy but well worth it!! Opens nice and early on Sunday morning for their brunch menu!!! Eggs Benny was perfect and a decent portion too .. highly recommend

We had a great brunch here. Nachos more tasty than any I've had before - let alone vegetarian. My friend had s full cooked breakfast and loved it also

Very nice carrot cake and generous serving. Coffee was OK, iced coffee was pretty good, the old fellas scone was delicious. Always clean & tidy & prompt.

Very good sandwich 🥪!

I just want to say a massive thank you to Ambrosia for the beautiful catering they provided for my event. The food looked and tasted absolutely amazing and there was a lovely variety within the platters which we all loved! The vegetarian options were just as delicious as the meat dishes and the food was delivered hot and on time. I personally want to thank Mishael for being so kind and lovely to deal with and for making my event so special with the amazing platters she created.

Beautiful smiles and polite service from staff this Sunday of rain and busy customers bustling in and out. I stayed from about 10.00 through to 11.30ish doing some morning writing in notebooks and laptop without any concerns or hassles. There was barely a moment of rest for any of the staff while I was there and they all showed patience and good will towards customers. The cappuccino was good, frothy, a little bland and without body; the cabinet food provided good Gluten Free and Vegetarian options, though not being cooked fresh made the served plate a bit lack-lustre, and the toasted sandwich a bit chewy. Fillings were good though, and tasty. My only annoyance was when I took the menu back to my table with me, it only said "Brunch Menu" on top, and I asked a passing staff if there was a Breakfast Menu. She replied "Yep, it's right here," and pointed to the menu that I had already thoroughly read and proceeded to read through the options with a distinct impression of condescension, as if I couldn't read the menu myself (would have been massively offensive if I hadn't been able to read the menu, for whatever reasons). I didn't bother pointing out that the Title stated "Brunch Menu" so left it. Music is not too loud either, low enough with the competing rain and customer voices that it didn't distract me from the ideas that I was suddenly inspired to scribble down. Big thank you and thumbs up to the staff. 👍

Great food, good selection of gluten free, counter serve person pointed out kitchen would take all care but there could be cross contamination. There was not. A good choice of counter food, and a simple but full lunch and snack menu. The coffee was full of taste but the mug was a bit small for a large flat white.
