Reviews of Red Eight Cafe

J.

Went to Red Eight for a coffee date, it was the first time I'd sat inside and had food as opposed to grabbing a takeaway hot chocolate (because they definitely have the best hot chocolate in Kaiapoi!) The staff was really nice and it was very clean, the decor was very trendy and would be a cute insta spot if you're into that kinda thing. We ordered the pancakes. They were absolutely amazing! We would highly recommend and are definitely coming back!

A. B.

Really great cafe, with delicious food and a great atmosphere. They even cooked breakfast for me before the kitchen officially opened. Highly recommended

C.

Popped in for lunch and enjoyed great coffee and delicious food. My husband thought the pizza slice was one of the best meals he's ever had. "Knocked it out of the park" He said. Lovely decor too. Big thumbs up!

I. I.

A very nice breakfast, I had an avo on rosti, which was delicious but I wish the poached egg was with a runny yolk on top of it. Otherwise it was very nice and well presented. My husband also had an avo but on rye bread with scrambled egg, it looked and tasted very good too. Both dishes are decent size and we were super full. Coffee and hot chocolate were very good quality and fast despite a busy Tuesday morning.

M. S.

Awesome food, pricing is good and stuff were nice.

R. C.

friendly service, delicious food, a great cafe with lots of gluten free choices

S. S.

Nestled in the Suburb of Kaiapoi. Lovely cabinet food available, Good choice of Gluten free. Not too expensive.

J. T.

Good service nice coffee and yummy food.

T. S.

Fantastic service was even given an extra scone free of charge will definitely be back next time in Kaiapoi

M. A.

Great spot. Funky environment with a variety of seating options. Small outdoors and not many parks. Off street parking. Awesome blue cheese scone.

K. W.

Outstanding coffee! Best in town. Great cabinet food too.

J. B.

I like a reasonably strong cup of tea and I was well pleased. The scone (date and orange) was 100%; I shall be back for more.

K. N.

The big breakfast was okay as there were too many rabbit food (lettuce) to have for breakfast and the long black coffee ☕ was a bit weak.

M. D.

First time vist but sssshush, don't tell anyone it was good food with a decent coffee

T.

Fantastic service was even given an extra scone free of charge will definitely be back next time in Kaiapoi

F. H.

Great coffee, great food. Brownies are always great. Customer service is always on point. Good stuff

K. D.

A very good cafe, serving delicious food and drinks. The service is friendly and welcoming and the coffee is delicious. If you are going, there is little on street parking, but there's a carpark behind the cafe and a rear entrance . People need to be aware that the kitchen closes at two o'clock. The staff are lovely, and try to make your visit pleasant. We enjoyed our meal. Worth a visit.

D. J.

This was my first visit. I will definitely visit again. Food was beautiful I had pizza and a date and orange scone and a flat white. Excellent service and lovely surroundings

J. T.

Absolutely beautiful food and THE best coffee ever!

N. E. W. D.

Lovely atmosphere. Moderately priced and staff were attentive. We had a meeting there it was a cosy and busy wee cafe.

S. G.

I regularly frequent this cafe their cabinet is excellant & their coffee awesome-however I have one criticism and that is they no longer serve their cabinet food with anything such as a garnish which is quite disappointing to say the least as it makes the food so much more inviting. I know the cafe trade is struggling due to Covid however surely a little garnish could be accommodated?

R. C.

Lovely food good service parking at back

R. &. B. A.

Always the most delicious food here, along with great coffee. Very busy place, friendly efficient service. The sweet treats are amazing and bursting with flavour, especially the caramel hazelnut slice.

S. b.

lovely place food looked great, I didn't eat though however coffee was lovely. Please get oat milk 😁

R. P.

Only just discovered this cafe. Had an amazing brunch of avo on potato rosti with feta, cherry tomatoes, poached egg etc. Good coffee and friendly staff. Cabinet food all looks great, need to go back to try more.

N. W.

This is our new favourite place for brunch. Delicious coffee and amazing food. Fast service too. If you're keen to go I would recommend booking just to ensure you get a table, else it might be too busy. Have highchairs available too.

L. J.

Great coffee, food, service. All good here.

Love this cafe. Grest friendly staff. Great coffee and Amazing food. Fabulous selection. And the Friday sweet treats are so decadent ❤❤❤

J. G.

Always get a great coffee here and the food is pretty amazing too, esp love the blue cheese & caramelised onion scone... And I don't do blue cheese

B. P.

I have been here a few times. I find the service very average. The coffee seems to differ quite a bit depending upon who makes it. The last time I went, a lot of people who came in after me left before me. All I wanted was a coffee. I dont think I'll be going back

A. Y.

Delicious date scone - coffee was good but needed a bit more oomph. Lots of yummy cabinet food to choose from. Best Kaiapoi cafe I think.

D. d. B.

Amazing flavours. Genuinely kind service.

V. S.

Great food, great customer service and the Cafe has always got lots of people patroning it. Service with a smile 😃.

p. c.

k.

OMG absolutely fantastic amazing coffee superb food can't say any more

L. W.

Nice food selection. Really like their chicken and cashew pizza slice. Very yummy. Good coffee. Busy little cafe.

S. M.

Nice place to stop, good coffees and cabinet food ...and get this ...they actually serve coffees on a 1st come 1st served basis instead of placing walkins (wanting takeaway coffees) at the front of the queue, so we got our coffees in a short time! We'll be back well done and great service.

T. B.

Outstanding. Food well presented and delicious. Excellent range of options. Highly recommend.

S. K.

A busy cafe is always a good sign! The food and coffee were yummy. Thanks.

A. R.

Loved it but noisy as all hell. A lot of " earnest " meetings with companies and looks like sports clubs was a giggle. A interesting look and different than say Rivertown..

S. S.

Love this cafe. Food is delicious as is the coffee. A nice place to meet friends

S. M.

(Translated) A nice little café in a new building complex, right next to the i-site. The ambience is rustic-modern. There is a small but fine breakfast menu. My Eggs Benedict with salmon tasted excellent. One of the best of my journey through New Zealand. The cappuccinos are also very good. In addition, various sweet and savory dishes in the display all looked good. The employees have been friendly. The entrance is barrier-free (automatic sliding door in the courtyard). There are (handicapped) toilets in the building. (Original) Ein nettes kleines Café in einem neuen Gebäudekomplex, direkt neben der i-Site. Das Ambiente ist rustikal-modern gehalten. Es gibt ein kleines aber feines Frühstücks-Menü. Mein Eggs Benedict mit Lachs hat ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Eins der besten meiner Reise durch Neuseeland. Die Cappuccino's sind auch sehr gut gewesen. Zudem sind diverse süße und herzhafte Speisen in der Auslage die allesamt gut aussahen. Die Mitarbeitenden sind freundlich gewesen. Der Eingang ist barrierefrei gestaltet (automatische Schiebetür im Innenhof). Es sind (Behinderten-) Toiletten im Gebäude vorhanden.
