Under The Red Verandah

Gracious staff, all 4 dishes cooked to perfection, beautiful setting amongst the birds, bees and blossom, and good coffee to boot.

Great inviting place to eat lots of space and well suited to family's will definitely be back

This cafe has a nice looking establishment and the coffee is good but its unfortunately overpriced just like the food.
Being in Linwood I was expecting it to be a little bit more easy on the wallet but it's the opposite.
They're coffee loyalty cards aren't too customer friendly either, buy 10 get 1 free!! That's a joke to be honest, not only that but I couldn't use my free coffee when I purchased the 10th! I was rudely told I couldn't claim it after buying 10 coffees previously.
The staff would benefit from learning more customer focused and communication skills.

A friend suggested we meet here for breakfast and as I was a visitor to Christchurch I had no idea what to expect. The cafe is in a suburban location which means there aren't any parking issues, plus they have their own dedicated car park on site. The cafe has quite a rustic vibe and a combination of indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu had plenty of choice and I really enjoyed my meal. The coffee is great too. And, judging by how busy it was, it's a gem that's far from hidden to the locals. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town and want to go somewhere just outside of the CBD.

Perfect spitfire Brunch, food is great as is the staff
