Reviews of The Coffee Club Spitfire Square

K.

Had to send back my steak sandwich as the bread was so hard I couldn't put my knife through it. Generally always very good but not this day. Iced coffee was great, service outstanding

H.

Wouldn't say it was amazing. The gentleman on the counter was a bit blunt to be served by and I certainly didn't want to ask too many questions as the few I did ask were bluntly responded to. The atmosphere was what I expected and the mocha was very nice as was the orange and almond cake.

J.

Very friendly staff, short waiting time for our food the chips were cooked perfectly we had John dory tacos but unfortunately I don’t think it was John dory it wasn’t a very nice tasting fish at all , coffee was great. One of the wait staff , went outside picked up the dog and cuddled it and then went back inside I was wondering whether she washed her hands, she went towards the kitchen area and came back with a drink which she gave to the person with the dog, I don’t think there was enough time for her to have washed her hands

V.

The giant pancake with mascarpone and mango compote was too good. Perfect to be shared between two.Service was fast and friendly. Our table of 6 early in the morning received their meals timely. The place was kept neat clean and tidy.

H.

A very convenient cafe shop when you have plan to travel via plane and want to kill time before departure. Within 10 minutes walking distance from the airport, you will get there. They have a wide range of food selections and coffee options of course. But I was not completely satisfied with their customer service with impatient staff even when it was not that busy.

N.

My favourite Coffee Club and favourite place to treat myself to lunch, also a good place to catch up with friends etc. Always very busy and can get quite noisy, but can still sit for as long as you want without ever feeling hurried to leave. Best eggs bene with salmon 😋

T.

New area, every thing is new. Modern setting restaurant, food is yummy, coffee is good. 6 of us ordered our lunch, wait for 20 minutes.

A.

I love visiting this cafe. It has a nice quiet atmosphere, good coffee and yummy cakes. Staff are always friendly and smiling too 😊

N.

Coffee ok (only because we requested double shot) and food very average. Convenient meeting location close to airport.

N.

Good but they mucked up the order of one of our party. Food is pretty tasty and it is nice to sit outside, under cover, on a hot day.

T.

We have to say the food was excellent although it was not exactly what we ordered. Nevertheless the service was largely sound and our order came out relatively swiftly. Their cabinet selection looked alright but could have been a little more inspirational. All in all a pleasant experience 🙂

F.

Coffee was okay and service a bit slow but staff were friendly and helpful.

C.

Great coffee with friendly and helpful staff. Also great food though possibly a little expensive for what you get.

U.

Handy to the airport, a good menu (I recommend the salmon avocado stack), well made coffee, and appropriately priced. Did observe a staff member deliver a hot drink to table steadying the glass on saucer with her thumbs on the glass rim but as it wasn't mine... For the record, this was not the "Trainee"; she was awesome.

I.

Great way to have a coffee or feed. Amazing stuff ,Has a timetable for departure & arrivals.

M.

Good coffee, could be more choice in food but what they do have is good

J.

Two Almond Chia Lattes were nice and hot but due to there being no dairy free and gluten free options that dont have chocolate, no food was available for us to eat. Would love more than one option in the gf/df range that does not include chocolate.

T.

We ordered the big breakfast and it was very average. The steak was inedible...I couldn't even cut it, the bacon was chewy, the sausage tasted a bit odd and the coffee was burned. The poached eggs were ok though and the toast was really nice. Definately the highlight on the plate. The place did have a nice ambience, the toilets were clean and we appreciated the good wifi. Service was efficient.

M.

Very good food make sure you get in with no other people and it's a breeze!

T.

Good coffee and great food. Very filling. Staff very sweet.

A.

Nice quiet place for a coffee and cake. Great service

R.

Great mocha. Usually people barely put any chocolate in that you can taste. This one was so chocolatey and frothy. Just perfect. Thanks team :)

E.

Very nice place to have something to eat before or after a flight. It is close to the airport, you can walk to and from there. Staff was friendly and quick. Clean place, with plenty of parking and reasonable prices

V.

I love the coffees here and the food is good too.

j.

Lovely pumpkin soup. Very good communication. When we ordered we were asked if it was ok as there could be 30min wait as they were so busy. Very enjoyable.

a.

Great place to catch up b4 catching flight. Coffees were great

L.

Take ear plugs! Staff member incapable of moving any furniture without banging or scraping it. Way too noisy for me. Then slammed our food on the table. Other than that - good and coffee were good.

E.

Great handy place for coffee near the Christchurch Airport. Lots of parking and excellent customer service.

R.

Pretty decent coffee. Good service. Been invited here a couple times and got a free coffee both times with my friend's 2 for 1 card which is nice. Close to the airport and plenty of parking!

L.

Yummy toasted sandwiches and great coffee

R.

Had eggs Bennie - nice. Found this busy little place a bit noisy. A lot of echo mainly. Excellent wait staff.

P.

Vert friendly staff and lovely coffee

S.

Great coffee and the breakfast was really nice. Definitely would return. Happy and pleasant service from the staff. A++

N.

Perfect salmon and poached eggs on ciabatta. Coffee was average, ironically.

K.

This is the perfect spot to meet up when waiting for airport departures or arrivals. We just had drinks but they were all tasty, fast and the service was excellent. Going to make it a regular stop.

B.

The Coffee Club is located in the departure area of Christchurch International Airport. We stopped by prior to our recent outbound flight back home. This is one of the only places for a drink or bite to eat in the restricted departure area for international flights. On the occasion we had a chocolate brownie, ginger crunch bar and long black coffees. Prices were a bit higher than what we found in the city, nothing unusual when it comes to airports. Brownie was smooth, slightly moist, not too sweet. The ginger crunch was similarly decent. Coffees were made fairly well, ordered small, the espresso taste was a bit more bold, stronger and generally enjoyed. Overall, everything was fine, what we expected.

B.

Great service. Great atmosphere. Great presentation of food. Not very many lunch options in the cabinet though, mostly just sweets. Lunch options on the menu are starting around $19.50 which is a bit pricy. Other than that, I'd go back for the iced coffee (with a shot of vanilla)!

J.

Had a smoothie that tasted good and felt good, and a calamari main that was a decent serve size for the $20 price. This coffee club perhaps lacks a strong individual atmosphere that can help make a cafe great, but the quality is consistent, so it's a good stop if that's what you're after.

L.

Great, tasty food in a convenient setting. Great vegetarian and plant base menu. On the higher end of cafe food in terms of price.

M.

Good coffee however food quality was low for what you pay, and some of the staff made it out that your just another number. We did on the other hand have two of the staff that were polite and engaging. I would go back for coffee but not food or service.

N.

Nice selection of cold drinks

C.

Very good...food excellent..eggs cooked to suit each person..service was fast...and pleasant

D.

Have had better coffee but it's definitely ok. Been there twice. First time it took quite a while until I got my cappuccino. It was Sunday and busy though. Second time it came within a few minutes. Staff was friendly at all times. I didn't taste the food.

V.

Pleasant Cafe to wait for a late plane to arrive.

a.

I occasionally go to the Coffee Club at Spitfire Square but never experienced what I did today. There were few clean tables & no matter where we sat, we were cold as, esp for our elderly parents. Fortunately, I did ask the head server to increase the temperature which he did immediately. My brother got a coffee in a dirty cup which they replace. They did bring my bfst out first, which was great. I'll go back cos i know they CAN do better.

F.

Nice place to have cofee, loved the atmosphere, inside is really warm and cosy in winter 👍

J.

Great location near the airport, however i had higher expectations after visiting other coffee clubs. Very small amount of hollandaise on the eggs benedict, and the side of chips consisted of a dozen or so lukewarm chips

S.

Not a bad a feed (big breakfast). A spoonful of baked beans would've made it look more like a breakfast otherwise I'd be calling it a mixed grill. No Paywave is a let down...especially for a coffee on the run.

H.

Awesome Food and Awesome Service from the staff at Spitfire Square. I had the Breakfast Brushetta which was absolutely divine. The menu is fantastic - a large variety of meals to choose from, from breakfast/brunch to lunch/dinner meals. My son is a Vegan and I was so impressed with the wonderful Vegan choices. Not many places in Christchurch cater for Vegans, so that was wonderful to see and greatly appreciated. It was busy so reservations recommended on the weekend. Our reserved table was hijacked by other diners but the staff were very apologetic and went out of their way to get us seated elsewhere after we declined their offer to have the people at our table moved. I can't ask for better service than that. Perhaps allocate reserved tables a number and telling the customers their table number upon booking so they can be sure they are seated at the correct table would help resolve this problem in future. Thank You for the great dining experience. Highly Recommended!

S.

Great hot chocolate. Only complaint there was no baby changeable last time I went (didn't need it this time) so unsure if this is in yet. Hope so to cater for families with young kids. Great service. Good location when farewelling friends/family to the airport .

D.

Great coffee (albeit expensive) here made by Barista extraordinaire Loriza. She's a legend, absolutely nailed my fussy coffee 3 days in a row. Cheers Loriza

J.

Could do with another staff member later in the day. Not as much in the cabinets as i was hoping for. If you have more stock and it looks inviting ,the people will come. If not alot of stock people remember this and wont return. Coffee was good though.

D.

Fantastic service. Light fluffy pancakes cooked just right and a perfect long black, not watery or burnt, very smooth! Great location.

E.

Service was prompt. Coffee was good. Ciabatta sandwich was dry & needed dressing. So many items, slices, bisciits even the rosti were bought in. I would rather have more options tbat are homemade.

T.

Great coffee ☕ my daughter loved the pancake kids meal coffee is well above average too used the free wifi to post this too

S.

Fairly good. Would buy coffee again but wouldn't get the big breakfast. Not quite up to scratch.

G.

Tasty food, good-sized helpings, washed down with good strong iced coffee. Rather nice, actually, as were all the staff. Only real negative was that it's not a cheap place to visit.

M.

Good place for meetings hit and miss with the music it chilled but sometimes is like being at a live concert in L.A coffee is good

N.

Rest rooms not very clean.... Too many sounds of plates being collected, music too loud, owner sat watching rather than doing the Hospitality Dance ie. Checking customers needs and ensuring crockery and plates were removed from tables. Staff were great...very friendly and clean and prompt wuth food delivery.

C.

Was a good coffee but the price point is rather steep for food.

M.

Lovely. Nice to get off an overseas flight to meet with friends for a quick catch up. Quiet, quick service, nice food and plenty of parking. Highly recommend.

D.

Great coffee and excellent freshly prepared food choices. Caters for vegetarians and vegans. Slow service and gets busy during the morning rush hour.
