Cafe Stir - Christchurch

Came here yesterday to try it out. I ordered eggs on toast with bacon and my partner ordered a benedict with salmon. We were both pleasantly surprised with our meals! They looked amazing and were absolutely delicious. I would say this is one of the best cafes that i’ve been to in Christchurch and I will definitely be back. The staff were lovely aswell, highly recommend :

Unfortunately this was the worst Seafood Chowder I have ever eaten. It tasted like a bowl of flour thickened cream, no seafood taste at all. The Eggs bene was ok as was the pulled pork burger and cheese roll. The chips were nice. The service was friendly but the food was so subpar, we certainly won’t be back:

Great food, nice place, by the tram track, good location for photo, self service bottle of water and glasses (foc), friendly staffs. Four of us really enjoy our lunch there.

Cafe Stir was my choice for breakfast this morning. The location is quite convenient and close to the centre of town down a quirky little street where the local tram runs through. The smashed avo with egg was rather tasty and a well sized portion at an average price point for the area. The coffee was one of the better ones I've had since being in Christchurch. The service was timely although not overly friendly but at the same time not unpleasant. I would go back again.

We didn't eat, We did a wine tasting. Well worth the effort. Beautifully classic building, good service and a fantastic wine selection.
