Reviews of Number Eight Cafe
T.
Well set out Cafe. A range of cabinet food and also a breakfast menu as well as a lunch menu. Good seating inside as well as a large outdoor area. Try their 'home made' pies, the mince and cheese was the best I have had.
The staff were quite attentive to our needs and quite friendly.
M.
What an awesome café! Delicious coffee and food (both cabinet and menu options). Very clean facilities, and a friendly team on service.
B.
Remember you covid pass and mask.. inviting staff.. Gluten free accomodating.. even checked a product on request...milkshakes👍 toasted sandwich 👍 open steak sandwich reasonable price for size. Croissant nice fresh tasty.
D.
Good choice of food both in the cabinet and on the Brunch menu. In the end we settled on two "Pie-of-the -days" & because there was a choice of two we had one each & shared half each of the Steak, Bacon & Cheese pie and Chicken, Bacon & Leek pie.
These arrived beautifully presented with a garnish of salad and red peppers and a 'fern' of tomato sauce on the side of the plate.
The two flat whites were also good, made with a coffee bean that was not too bitter.
Great that off street parking is also provided.
We will definitely be stopping here on our way back to Christchurch after our trip 'overseas' (ie going to the North Island!)
I.
Stellar staff and nice coffee. We loved the eggs Benedict with salmon, it’s a must.
D.
Great food and coffee. Great selection of very nice food. Friendly fast and efficient service. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking right outside.
A.
Tried this cafe as not many in the area. Lovely find, recently been re branded. Coffee was great and hot and the food was delicious (brownie, raspberry slice). Nice friendly vibe and tempting selection of treats.
M.
Lovely food in a cute we place. Probably the nicest cafe toilets in New Zealand too 😲
J.
Best big breakfast we have had. Great service and lovely outdoor area. Highly recommend. Coffee was also great.
M.
This is a fabulous cafe with a lovely, warm vibe. The coffee was great, the staff were super friendly and the interior is really warm & welcoming. The bathrooms are straight out of "House & Garden" - very nice! Thank you.
M.
Stopped for lunch on our way to Kaikoura. Had some lovely food out of the cabinet. Happy friendly staff. Great, strong coffee. Well worth a visit!
C.
We stopped in for lunch during our holiday. Friendly staff and delicious large sausage roll along with tasty hot chocolate and black coffee. Very nice experience.
M.
We stopped here for lunch. Coffee was good. Strong. My pie (beef and mushrooms) was delicious. Unfortunately the mushrooms stack wasn't great. Mushrooms were deep fried which made it not tasty for us. The glasses in the water station were not clean.2 still had stains of lipstick. I found 2 in the end.Fries was good.
S.
Excellent service, food and utilities. Tea was perfect!
M.
Lovely outdoor seating, 50 minute wait for 2 burgers and something out of the cabinet. We were considering leaving as the food finally came out. Food wasn't bad and chips were perfect but not worth the wait honestly
G.
Great Food and a lovely place to dine.
Took my wee Schnauzer with me as it's dog friendly.
We both enjoyed the big breakfast immensely.
M.
Best coffee ever.
Best eggs Bennie I have ever had.
Excellent presentation and very friendly service.
This is the place to stop when heading through Cheviot.
M.
The food and staff were lovely.
Felt a bit like a fish out of water as I had just traveled the length of NZ and had not experienced this anywhere else but your normal diners werent happy to see my family and I. Perhaps I had grown horns in Cape reinga.
I hope the regulars are friendlier to your staff than other diners.
Note: Not the fault of the cafe more the other diners. Perhaps its a regular place for them and maybe the travelers (e.g like myself) are annoying. They just did not appreciate the frazzled driver and "tourists" that just wanted to eat and not move for a wee bit.
Have changed the score as it was unfair of me.
B.
Really nice cafe! Best one in the area by far. Good coffee, awesome looking menu and great cabinet food. The interior is really pleasant as are the staff! Don’t drive past
Y.
Pie of the day was salmon and cream cheese. It was so yummy!
R.
Lovely food and good drinks. Very pleased with our service and how clean the place was. We will be back.
D.
What a lovely place! Very nice and friendly people and the food yummy!! Well worth visiting. We will go back again! 😁👍
C.
Had a lovely brunch. Good service, clean tidy place. No black pudding with the great 8 breakfast, otherwise all very good
L.
This place had the best toilets between Christchurch and Picton. The food was yummy and service came with a smile
p.
My husband had a big breakfast and it was one of the best, in terms of quality and presentation 😋
G.
No 8 was recommended to me by a local. I have to say I was very impressed with the staff, the food and the service. Much more than I expected for a small town. The place was very neat clean and tidy, the order was taken politely and efficiently. The tea came first and then shortly after came the food. No long waiting I have experienced in other places. Both with a pleasant smile. The food was fresh and full. My wife enjoyed a filled croissant heated with a side salad and I had a small caesar salad. Both were well prepared and not short on quantity or quality. A very nice lunch and not too expensive. The outside ambiance just added to the experience. Very well done team.
K.
Three of us arrived for lunch on a Monday and as it was such a beautiful day we sat out in the courtyard. Our choice of meals were Beetroot & Feta Salads, Mince & Cheese Pie, Fries, coffee and iced lattes. Everything was perfect! Delicious salads in substantial portions, the fries were awesome and the coffees were quality. Definitely stopping here again!
R.
Beautiful setting. Great food and service but I've started also rating cafes on their interest in checking vaccine passes
Hence the 3 stars as cafes will loose a star who don't ask.
.

D.
Great cafe. Staff were friendly, my cappacino came out quickly and was made well. I ordered the crispy chicken burger, it was delicious they have a black bun which was good, however its not mentioned in the menu.
C.
Short break for a coffee and muffin on the way up to Picton. Coffee was great, muffin was OK.
A bit more variations for vegetarians would be great!
D.
Lovely place for breakfast, very friendly staff. We had poached eggs on toast, beautifully presented. Totally recommend.
R.
What can say 10 out if 10. Ambience terrific, all encapsulated by the front of house super star. Food coffee excellent.
Well done #8.
g.
Stopped in for breakfast on our way north and so glad we did. great service and lovely food, the eggs bene was just awesome. A new must stop place on my south island travels!
R.
Good 👍 quick stop for coffee ☕ 😋. Had another stop here and great food and coffee. You need to put this on your bucket list when traveling north or south on the east coast of the south island of New Zealand.
A.
Very good food. Very nice and cosy place to eat.
B.
We found the staff friendly and efficient and our lunch and coffee we'd give top marks.The on-site bathrooms were clean and we'll appointed well done No 8
A.
Great stop on the way to Christchurch from Nelson, a trip we do regularly. Great food, service and a nice courtyard outside.
N.
What a fabulous find! Thoroughly splendid coffee served by lovely staff in a delightful environment. Sausage roll! Have one. I did and it was wonderful with just the right amount of seasoning. Pastry was well cooked and no soggy bottom either!
Lots of other choices to suit the most refined of pallets or sate the appetites of the seriously hungry.
Enjoy!
S.
Great tasty food put together with love. Nice setting and friendly staff

Lovely little cafe, good slices. Friendly staff. And 3 very clean bathrooms.
M.
I had a very nice salmon bagel sandwich, the place cozy as well
D.
Nice coffee. Good carrot cake
J.
Fantastic. Steak on the steak sandwich was so tender, chips were perfect. Service was great. Highly recommend.
C.
Great cabinet selection, great coffee pleasant settings out door and in.Very efficient service.
L.
Its difficult having a food allergy eg being dairy free, its not easy asking about options and it would help if the staff were informed and helpful. My decision after even the kitchen couldn't give me something was an expensive bowl of warm chips and coffee lukewarm but I didn't want to say something in case they thought me a difficult customer ! Please have some options in the kitchen
C.
Lovely coffee. Friendly staff. Nice grounds. Clean loos.
P.
Excellent service and the food was delicious thanks!
T.
Very friendly staff. Only downside was that our medium rare streak sandwiches were a bit overcooked, more like medium well. The pie meal and kids meals were good. Overall, a nice cafe to have a decent lunch.
J.
Great breakfast stop travelling through Cheviot. Friendly staff and EXCELLENT coffee!
B.
Good value. I had the pulled pork roll warmed. Quite tasty and my partner had the chickpea salad an a rather large sausage roll. I had to help her with the sausage roll ...we left replete and satisfied. Good coffee and good service.
B.
What a gem! Stopped here today, food was soooo delicious - had the huge tasty sausage roll & the sweet muffin, both excellent. Great to have a really hot coffee too! This place really knows how to make a cafe experience the best. Thanks, we will be recommending you to others for sure. 😁
H.
Lovely food, God stop between Kaikoura and Christchurch
D.
Good Coffee. Good range of food - including GF. Good staff and service

B.
Staff nice and friendly very good food at a reasonable price
G.
Good food at reasonable prices. Friendly, helpful staff. Pleasant environment. What's not to like?
s.
Great cafe, good food, nicely renovated and easy parking. Staff were rude however. While it was close to closing, they said it was ok to eat in, but then proceeded to loudly put up chairs around us, grabbing our plates the second we finished eating and generally making us feel very unwelcome. Shame.
C.
Great surprise this morning! Just needed a coffee and toilet stop and Number 8 was the next cafe on SH1. What a joy to find a cafe on par with Christchurch CBD located in Cheviot. Gorgeous bathrooms, clean and well presented. The coffee was perfect and the service efficient. Though we didn't get a chance to eat the cabinet food was enticing and the wine list looked ample. Do yourself a service and stop next time you find yourself in Cheviot!
C.
Nice cafe with large outdoor eating area, good when you have a dog. Had coffee and a scone which were both very good. Would stop here again.
S.
Very nice,on main road,good stop between Christchurch and kaikoura
K.
A unusual place went for tea along with a lot of others very popular great meal

n.
Great spot to stop and rest. Nice atmosphere with garden cafe. Good quality food and staff was friendly. They were busy when we visited, but it didn’t phase them. Food still came out in a reasonable amount of time.
R.
Our usual cafe when passing through Cheviot. Great selection of tasty cabinet food - difficult to choose... L'affare coffee too

A must stop place.
V.
Beautiful coffee and a lovely mint slice
M.
Cabinet food looked great and cooked options tasted really good. Short wait times for our cooked food.
Cafe is very modern and comfortable.
I asked my partner what she thought about number 8, she replied, 'coffee was hot'. Aparently thats a big deal.
If you are hungry or thirsty while passing through Cheviot, this is the place i would recommend to stop and have a breather. Indoor and nice outdoor seated areas too.
J.
Really nice friendly staff and tables well space out. Parking round side of car or along main road under trees. Awesome setting during summer time and autumn lovely colours.
F.
Lovely little cafe. Clean and nice toilets.
D.
By far the best Cafe we've been to. It's a clean and modern shop with great service and amazing food.
M.
Superb coffee and food. Wonderful service and friendly efficient staff. Well worth stopping here. We shall be back
G.
Pleasant, road side cafe. Good range of cabinet food. Nice decorative ambience. Affare coffee - Soy latte served at too low temperature.
S.
Nice spot however i was not aware that they do light meals and breakfasts until i was leaving and saw a menu on a table. It seems the only choice was coffee/teas and cabinet food when we went in there..The board on the wall behind the counter says nothing about meals, so they are missing out. They have done a very nice tasteful job on this place.
A.
Random stop to grab coffee and breakfast, we struck lucky. Good coffee, great steak and cheese pie (proper fresh pastry, plenty of good filling) and friendly service.
N.
Had a croissant and a gourmet butty, both were lovely. Cute cafe environment with lovely modern, clean bathrooms. Great pit stop!
D.
Lovely Cafe, great cabinet food selection and fantastic Laffare Coffee that never disappoints. Worth a stop between Chch and Kaikoura

D.
Outstanding, loved glib attitude ( check dictionary jo.) Young lady Joy on the counter, Great decore and setting,Just added to our trip?. Best east coast of south island welcome and service. Dave.
D.
Very disappointed this time round. Staff very friendly but waiting nearly an hour for food was frustrating. Ended up asking for money back as had a schedule and partner had finished his way earlier. His was dry and unappetizing. Dog enjoyed it. Need to be more organised and food more appealing
A.
I love this place. Staff are super friendly. The background music is on point. There's something for everyone in the food cabinet. The locals will chat with you and you feel welcome.
a.
Great coffee and toasties ŕeasonable price

Fabulous cafe. It is quite new and everything about it is pristine, even the toilets are lovely. The food and coffee was delicious and they have set the standard for others to (hopefully) follow.
K.
