Reviews of Coffee Culture Merivale

A.

Lovely and friendly staff. Excellent customer service. Delicious chai and coffee. Great selection of food. We got the cake of the month (tiramisu) yum!! Really nice store and it was a nice quiet atmosphere for a Friday evening. I imagine it has a great atmosphere when it's busy too.

A.

Great place for a coffee in Merivale. Tasty coffee and friendly helpful team. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating-with shade. Food selection is reasonable and ground coffee for home use available. Restrooms available and vaccine status is checked.Parking on street (30 min) normally available. Recommended.

M.

Like all Coffee Culture you can get great coffee here. Coffee Culture Merivale is located on the northern side of the Merivale Mall on Papanui Road. A small shop which means you may struggle to find a seat. But of course no problem as they can provide a takeaway coffee. There is a good range of cakes, favourites and nice wraps. Coffee Culture Merivale is certainly worthy of visiting if you have the time and want a great coffee. Back here early Jan 2022 and its all good as it was before. A nice place to meet and talk.

A.

The staff here are amazing. The owner is super cool.

P.

Great team. Great friendly service staff. Good selection in the cabinet. Busy little place. Seating inside and outside. Lots of magazines and copies of the News Paper to read. Had a generous slice of Raspberry and chocolate cake, delicious. Served with a choice of yoghurt or whipped cream. Had an iced coffee, very nice. Thanks team.

C.

Coffee was brilliant and the barista, not sure if it was the owner or not, was super friendly too. Definitely recommend 🙂

d.

Nice coffee. Staff are friendly and helpful

J.

Great coffee and cake. Always busy

L.

Great stop for a quick coffee and snack. Good to chill and watch the people go by.

a.

The most delicious brownie is found here. It's so good!

C.

Good coffee & food.

S.

short staffing made for lacking experience, however fantastic food and coffee. came on ANZAC day for takeaways so i was expecting it to be busy. however, there was no warning of what the wait time would be and staff were very curt when greeting customers for orders but otherwise polite. tables were stacked with plates to the point that customers were having to bring them up to counters in order to have a clear spot to sit. wait time was upwards of 20 minutes. the coffee i had was fantastic and so was the bagel. i wouldn't recommend coming here on a busy day if management is going to let staff down by rostering on the minimum. it's understandable that the staff were struggling under such conditions as there were only 3, maybe 4 different staff members that i could see.

D.

I love this cafe! Friendly staff, good coffee, and a range of options for food sensitivities like rice milk and gluten free snacks.

M.

Great coffee and friendly service!

R.

Very nice, friendly staff and the food is always yummy

R.

I like this cafe! Friendly staff, excellent coffee, excellent service!

S.

Nice spot for coffee with a friend. Pleasant staff

C.

Morning tea. Nice cosy very busy place. Great lemon honey and ginger drink. Lovely fresh light muffin.

M.

Pleasant environment, incredible food and coffee. Excellent service.

M.

Nice coffee! Amazing bagels 👏

N.

Love the hot chocolate and yes their coffee is also good.

J.

Good service. Staff handled the orders of a large group very well. Good range of cakes and savory items.

s.

A nice oais in a mostly congested area of town. Good coffee but the cakes seem to have more sugar and less flavor than they used to. Staff friendly and helpful.

T.

Bright and friendly. Very busy all the time, but at least you can be sure, that all the food is fresh and it tastes amazing. Be sure to grab one of the coffee culture cards as it gives you some discount on the coffee every time you visit

S.

Bravo Coffee culture! Not only great coffee but they have broadened their food range to offer lots of vegan options like the vegan Reuben which is delicious! In doing that they are also supporting a local businesses (grater goods) ! Lovely staff also!

D.

Wonderful, personable staff in Brad and Tash. Warm and very welcoming. And of course superb barista skiills in Brad - makes a delicious extra hot soy latte. Lovely ambience with soft background music. Pay rises for them please. Deirdre (regular Saturday evening customer - 60s age group) 🥰

J.

The staff are very friendly and the whole atmosphere is very welcoming. Good to see a variety of magazines. It would be lovely to have some pot plants. I know that buying Lillies every day is a bit of a commitment and you only have to water the plants. I would also like to see some more Christian magazines in there, also like authentic, word for today and family first. A very compact place with amazing outdoor seating.

D.

Ok coffee , paid $8 for a pie it was dry not what I expected may have been sitting for some time as was 3pm and at end of day? Re: Owner reply agree my original review could have been worded better, have changed it. Though I was in a hurry at the time place was busy with people at counter shouldn't need to ask if pie is fresh.

P.

Excellent service! Excellent food!

Y.

Didn't realise the spinach and feta savory I had was gluten free, wish it had a sign in front of it instead of a tiny red dot! I had to ask for a bit of relish to make it more palatable as was too dry otherwise. Lots of flies, table not clean. Disappointing

S.

*Amended from 3 stars to 4 stars following second visit* Iced coffee was really nice. Cheese scone was a bit odd - not very cheesy and texture of a dry bread roll. Also, adding red onion and mixed herbs to the humble cheese roll is unnecessary (-; they're not meant to be fancy just simple, tasty and moreish.

R.

Incredibly good food and drink. Best Ice Chocolate I've ever had. It's also really good at vegan food! Another good thing is the people that serve it are really nice. Five stars.

R.

Great selection of food and the coffee is flavorful and not cold. Nice atmosphere. Will be back for vegetarian dishes

R.

Great food and coffee. Friendly service

M.

Great coffee, quick service, good selection of magazines, friendly and helpful staff and a nice atmosphere.

A.

Small, busy, too hot and exhaust doesn't work good, got headache. Update - just got my coffee and it's surprisingly not good either. You can see it waited at least 10 minutes before taking it to me. The foam is not firm anymore. After the perfect coffee in Addington CC really surprised. What a waste of time.

L.

Super big ups for this lovely cafe where you feel more like you are in a cafe in France. This place has it all, excellent service, a large and tasty variety of food, close accessible car parking. Is the place I like to go to get my coffee buzz. Also is surrounded by an array of interesting shops.

P.

The barista is amazing he does great coffee and it's always consistent such a joy coming here

T.

Nice place. Good food and drinks.

v.

Go there often , great coffee, iced coffee and food. Staff are lovely ,great variety of foods to choose from too

R.

Great coffee and service

A.

Oh I'll never forget today. 2 spicy chai lattes, and the fluffiest custard square I've ever had. Excellent friendly service with a smile, beautifully decorated with candy on the spoon. Very popular place locally. Constantly buzzing with takeaway orders, but that was okay for meeting up with a friend. Thank you!!

R.

Expensive but good coffee. Menu is too high in carbs and sugar plus off site kitchen is not ideal.

P.

Does what it says and usually pretty timely. Great coffee and service was friendly. Was quite busy when I went (lunch time) but as always got my coffee absolute pronto. No worries here if you want coffee or coffees.

C.

One of the most popular Coffee Cultures from my experience. The cabinet food selection seems to get better every time I go. The coffee is fine, not my favourite by a long shot (excuse the pun) but consistently fine.

G.

Great coffee and a slice

A.

I went there to meet a colleague for the first time. Wonderful coffee and looked like fantastic food!

I.

Thanks so much CC for your support of Team CP.

E.

Warm friendly and welcoming staff. Great place to pass time while waiting for loved one to get out of surgery at St Georges

M.

Awesome!! Pretty pricey. But not what I expected for Merrivale very polite. Customer service brilliant always wanting to make feel welcome. Will go back in a heartbeat.

D.

Rolleston is really short of good coffee, normally not a fan of chain coffee but if you need coffee in Rolleston, Coffee culture would be the best with new / nice decor, coffee is good but the food is cabinet with exception of the bagels. If your hungry the donuts and cakes are worthy, summer flat bread a favourite and bagels are great. Avoid the hot food such as fritters, stacks and pastries they don't reheat so well

D.

Great coffee & food with exceptional service! Highly recommend

R.

Great service. Great coffee and scrumptious cheese cake. Table top was nice and clean as was the chairs.

S.

Great place to go for consistent good coffee or a treat and being open later means you can grab a coffee and cake after 5pm. Service is great. Keep it up.

f.

Super efficient shop. Friendly; caring folk who actually do get to know you:-) Amazing selection of food and ALWAYS well stocked. Non smoking outside so well worth a visit to this great cafe.

S.

Just wanted something out of the cabinet. Some reason I waited for 10min until staff stoped talking to each other. Not the best experience here unfortunately. In saying the the cabinet desserts were good.

Z.

Friendly and nice staff. But hot chocolate wasn't amazing.

J.

It's a coffee place without a kitchen, but it has a cabinet of chilled food. Go figure. Coffee is good but, cyclists that seem to be attracted to the place aren't 🤣

B.

Food is well presented but was a tad limited as mostly carb based savouries. Also more sweets to choose from than savoury. Service was nice though.

J.

Really good, the only coffee shop I've been to in sometime that you get a nice hot coffee and not a warm one. ( good work )

M.

Great coffee and awesome food. But the best is the Staff and their customer service always willing to help and make you coffee so enjoyable.

B.

Coffee great salmon bagel seemed plain considering price.

A.

My wife and I get a chai from here every so often in the evening. Lovely service and atmosphere, great selection of yummy slices and cakes. One of our favourite hangouts!

K.

Place was warm and welcoming with plenty of food options. Staff were pleasant amd helpful. However, coffee wasn't amazing, hot chocolate was good

D.

I love there chocolate chai.

A.

Quick and organised service. Like (nearly) all Christchurch cafes they serve their coffee with scalding milk, but will happily make your warm if you ask when you order.

E.

I went here with my boyfriend for breakfast. The interior design is so cute, coffee was amazing and I highly recommend the Apple Cinnamon porridge!

f.

Newly fitted out and looking great. The coffee is consistantly good, service only usually lacks when it is really busy.
