If you're wandering through the charming streets of Christchurch, make sure to carve out some time to visit Coffee Lovers Cafe, nestled at 25 New Regent Street. This delightful cafe is a haven for coffee enthusiasts and a perfect spot to unwind with friends or simply enjoy a quiet moment.

From the moment you step in, the cozy atmosphere envelops you, creating an inviting space that feels like a home away from home. With eclectic decor echoing the unique architectural style of New Regent Street and a carefully curated playlist setting the mood, this cafe not only serves delicious coffee but also offers a delightful sensory experience.

At Coffee Lovers Cafe, the menu is a brunch lover's dream. Start your day with their All Day Breakfast options, where the Garden Royale stands out with its grilled honey halloumi layered on crunchy toasted Grizzly super seeds sourdough, alongside sautéed mushrooms, baby spinach, and a perfectly poached egg, topped with housemade pistachio dukkah. The vibrant colors and fresh ingredients make this dish a feast for the eyes and a delight on the palate.

Vegetarian diners will relish the Smashed Avocado, a wholesome combination of smashed avocado and feta, paired with two poached eggs and juicy cherry tomatoes. For something heartier, their toasties, particularly the Lovers Toastie with caramelized onions and a blend of cheeses, provide a comforting, cheesy embrace. Each bite promises to be an explosion of flavor, making it hard to choose just one dish.

But it’s not only the food that earns rave reviews. Customers have praised the rich and flavorful coffee options, crafted expertly to cater to every coffee connoisseur’s palate. The lavender coffee may evoke mixed feelings, with some finding it too floral, but the overall consensus is that the coffee here is exceptional, from the creamy flat whites to the smooth picolo.

Reviewers celebrate the top-notch service, highlighting how the friendly staff make every guest feel pampered. Alina Shah encapsulated this perfectly, noting her first visit left her "really impressed" with the welcoming vibe and great coffee. Likewise, Kayla expressed her joy at discovering what she hailed as the "best matcha" in Christchurch, eager to return for more.

While it can be described as a typical brunch spot, the genuine warmth and friendly atmosphere set Coffee Lovers Cafe apart from the rest.

Great cafe. Coffee and hot chocolate were delicious. Food was fantastic - eggs perfectly done, and everything else was delicious. It’s also refreshing to find a cafe that chose the right genre and volume of music to play. Tables were clean and well serviced

I visited Coffee Lovers for the first time and was really impressed! The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The staff made me feel right at home, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great coffee!

Good location on the New Regent Street. It opens a bit of early in the morning, which is convenient. We tried the lavender coffee, but didn't like it, a bit of too strong taste of lavender for us. The avocado smash was tasty, but the toast was a bit of too hard. The view is good.

Nice coffee with good breakfast options. There was nothing to be crazy about, but it was all ok. The atmosphere is nice, in line with the street architecture. It's expensive like all similar places.

I came around midday in a Saturday, the place was quiet, they have all they breakfast options, the picolo code was really good, the eggs Benedict were 8/10

Cool spot on new regent st. Brunch was pretty good although breakfast wrap could have done with a hash brown. Gluten free options available.

Lovely little cafe. Friendly service, great for breakfast. Had fresh fruit salad with yoghurt, toasted bacon sandwich and tea. All really good at a great price. Back tomorrow. Update: the lid fell off our small teapot splashing hot tea in to my friends lap. Not good.
