Reviews of Rivers Cafe
S.
Very affordable, quick service, friendly staff and tasty food. Watch our video on TikTok by searching @centralfmchb
M.
Over the last 16 years of eating big breakfast in NZ, this one is definitely THE biggest and best priced big breakfast in the country. The ambience is very open and spatious, with ample seating outside as well as inside. The menu is long, service is courteous and very fast, and the food is excellent and well-priced. If you're driving through Murchison, you need to stop here for a drink or a feed!
M.
Awesome place,friendly staff .Beautiful food and yummy coffee.Highly recommended.
T.
Lovely restaurant with very generous portion sizes.
K.
Absolutely delicious chicken burger with more in it than expected (mushrooms, bacon etc) and an equally delicious toastie. Friendly staff.
This will be our choice of cafe now every time we pass through Murchison.
S.
Beautiful rustic cafe. Friendly, helpful efficient staff. Very clean. Serene atmosphere. Delicious food. Highly recommend,
J.
I had a beef sandwich which was very dry. I think there was a small amount of tomato in it but no dressing. A bit of a shame as when we have visited before yhe food has been good.
S.
Fantastic breakfast experience. Great cafe, friendly staff, delicious food and great ambience. The cafe is very cozy and has a wood fired oven warming the place. The food arrived fast and the waiters were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place to anyone stopping through Murchison and hungry for delicious food.
J.
Great cafe. Good home made sandwiches and coffee. Good home made sausage rolls. Not on main street. Have to turn off to find it. Way better than main street cafes.
A.
Rural road trip cafe. Nothing more, nothing less. The food is adequate, the decor & service surprisingly cool, the pies hot, the fries large. The milk shakes are literally milk with flavour, avoid. It's fine. You're not staying for dinner, who are you kidding?
M.
Excellent quality food, lovely friendly staff, beautiful warm homely space. Highly recommended
P.
Great food. Warm friendly people. Recommended

Totally worth the effort to stop in Murchison, even if just for a coffee

Nice place and service. But food was average. We had a pizza, beef burger, wedges and flat white. Flat white had too much milk, pizza had no mozzarella cheese, but something else, and burger had pan cooked mushroom and onion which didn't match nicely - personal opinion. Wedges was nicely fried.
C.
Busy cafe today. Place was full of hungry travellers.
Pies were yummy.
Long line to order food..
Staff did their best despite it all.
B.
One of my favorite cafes. Great coffee, great food. Big breakfast is good quality and a large serving.

Great little cafe, good choice of food at reasonable prices
L.
Amazing place! The food is great and so is the staff. The Coffee is good and the food the was really good! We had the pancakes and some other things and they were all very good. They have a great menu, and a great selection of food in the cabinet. The staff was very friendly and nice. And the seating area and the cafe itself is amazing. Looks to be in an old gas station and they have made it look amazing! There is a fire and great seating. 100% would go again, has to be one of the best cafe I have been.
L.
Really cool place great food, awsome people
J.
Excellent customer service & friendly staff. We were a group of 10 and all of our meals came out fast. They were very yummy and large portion sizes. Love to stop here whenever going through Murchison. Awesome Chocolate Milkshake too! :)
P.
Great coffee, perfect driver reviver. While food is slightly pricey, but well worth it!! Considering the shipping costs, it's about where the pricing should be. HIGHLY RECOMMEND A VISIT!!
r.
Always stop here on my way south. Reasonable prices and great food.
D.
Excellent blueberry muffin. Nice outside area but be warned and use repellent. You have about a minute before the sandflies swarm...
M.
Slightly more upmarket cafe in Murchison. A nice but light menu of savories, drinks and sweets. I didn’t note any restricted diet options but I think there’s some gluten free. Chances to sit indoors or out. Plenty of parking opportunities. Recommended stop if you need a driving break while passing through.
R.
Great coffee and beef and red wine pie...plus the service....
L.
My vegan breakfast was amazing. Rivers Cafe serve generous servings and very strong hot coffee. Lovely helpful staff.

Great place to stop off if travelling. Wide range of quality food with good service and friendly staff.

Such a cool place. The food is lovely and choices are many, service is friendly and quick. Lovely coffee too. This is our favourite food stop when heading to or from the West Coast.

A lovely spot to stop and restock. The kids corner (complete with couches, high chairs and toys) is a great place for the children to have a play while filling the stomachs. The couches meant the grown ups could sit back and relax. What a little gem of a place to find!
P.
Very delicious scone and coffee. Been stopping here for about 7 years and always excellent and cosy.
N.
Nice place to eat while car charges. Good Brekky eggs and such

Good cafe, nice rustic decor, good coffee and cabinet food or menu service.
C.
Stopped for coffee as it had good reviews, was pleased to find they use Havana Coffee beans. Lots of seating, mixed of outdoor seating, indoor proper table seating and comfy couches at the back. Nice cabinet food - we had muesli bar and breakfast biscuit. Would recommend. Plus, lots of doggies around too :)
A.
Went there with my Dad whilst road tripping. Dad says he had the best cheese scone and huge warmed berry muffin he has had in a long long time. Great to see a vegan option too - veggie filo. Lovely warm ambiance. Really cool tables and chairs, and lots of comfy couches.
V.
Great coffee, tasty beef and ale pie. So good we did it again on the return trip from Hamner Springs.
Visited today for the third time and it was worth every dollar spent.
K.
Best wedges with bacon and cheese I've ever had. Great service.

Super quick service and plenty of tables even during a busy lunchtime
R.
Nice atmosphere, welcoming staff and plenty of room inside and out.
P.
Do not go past Murchieson without a stopover in this Cafe. Food is fab, especially the vegetarian filo rap. It is our stop over coffee break each time we go past on the way South or West or East.
G.
Had fish and chips and they were very average, but other things I tried here are very nice like the ham and cheese toastie!
K.
Vary Good Service. The Mud Cake Vary Yummy
A.
We had a great time here today. The Beef with red wine pie, bacon and cheese wedges, date scone, sausage roll and coffee were all excellent. Cheers!
s.
Good place to stop while passing through Murchison good coffee and a good range of food friendly staff as well I use to stop at another cafe there but this one is much better and abit quieter being off the main road.
B.
Very nice as usual. Coffee a bit pricey though, for soy and decaf :(
E.
Stopped in for coffee and lunch. They have a good assortment of items in their display case and some menu items. Had a tasty pie, although it was reheated unevenly and was cold in parts which was disappointing. Probably would have been better to order off the menu.
T.
Loved our stop here - authentic cafe with lovely service. We only had coffee and cake but enjoyed ourselves.
M.
Just off the main street, far better than ones on main street, do go there.
D.
Good food friendly staff and it was bizzy
A.
One of the best toasties I have ever had! Toastie for cheese lovers 😍
S.
Fabulous coffee. The Ginger Crunch is divine
K.
Fab coffee and take out cafe food. Wonderful service.
H.
Great umbiance in this cafe. Matches the food cabinet or ordered food choice. Friendly and efficient staff, there seemed to be a lot of staff. Indoor or outdoor seating. Gift shop next door for a browse. Off road or park on the street. Only downside is the toilet facilities. These could definitely be upgraded. Otherwise would recommend when in Murchison.
M.
Lovely coffee after looking around the gift shops
V.
Another great coffee & cake, thanks team
D.
Best ever Date, Orange & Walnut scones I have ever tried & the coffee was excellent as well. Great service & staff very friendly. Would highly recommend a coffee stop here.
C.
Great breakfasts. Do not order a sausage roll and medium chips unless you have not eaten for 3 days. Top inhouse made sausage roll. Great chips.
K.
Great Cafe to stop at in Murchison. Good menu and good selection of cabinet food. Good portion sizes. Nice vibe.
J.
The Date and Walnut scones are to die for 5 star. The place is roomy, a little quirky, good service, plenty of options foodwise, pleasant people.Toilets are okay but stop the fifth star, but overall this is the best pit stop.
Jeff
L.
Great food,massive tasty scones,worth stopping in,toilets next door.
D.
Staff great, place really nice ND comfortable to rest ND relax
D.
Fabulous food & coffee also roomy & great atmosphere. Beaut food selection. Inside/outside seating. Warm with sofas & small side rooms....must go!!!!!
K.
This place is amazing! Just driving through and stumbled across it. The coffee was divine, so well made. gluten free options and the greatest lamb shank pie ever eaten. Very friendly staff as well. Best food stop in NZ!
M.
I have stopped and eaten at this cafe many times, in my opinion a change in the cabinet food would be welcome as it is always the same. Another suggestion would be a counter for people who just want a takeaway coffee and/or food, I just wanted some food from the cabinet to takeaway last week, I had to queue with people ordering food to be eaten at the cafe and had about a 15 minute wait to just order a scone, not heated, not buttered, just put in a paper bag.....no...I had to be given a number and wait ??????? Why ? The scone was in front of me, I had paid ., I just wanted it put in a bag!!! Quite easy I would have thought. I will not be stopping at this cafe again for takeaway food, I was on my way to work , and ended up late. The food is good and I will stop again when I am not in a hurry, but please management think about it, not everyone has the time to sit for an hour and have lunch on a trip.
A.
Not cheap but worth it one of the best pies I've had in ages 🙂
P.
Forgot i was in the south. Expected an Auckland Breakfast and got the lot.
C.
Chicken ceasar salad and a chicken burger, great variety of ingredients but the off-the-bone chicken was very dry, and not so good, salad could have done with dressing of any sort.
Great food selection in the cabinet and on the menu though,
M.
I stopped for lunch at rivers Cafe on 29/12/2020 while travelling to Motueka. It was a very busy day and many people were on the queue waiting to be served.
Cannot say that I liked the attitude of the lady at the counter when I asked for a chicken burger. Her answer was only "it will take 30 minutes". Hmm..OK.....I chose something else from the menu and the answer was "30 minutes waiting as well". Nothing else.
Ok then....I picked a pie from the glass cabinet and a juice bottle from the fridge and went outside. The pie just required heating but I had to wait around 20 minutes.
Understand it was a busy day but this doesn't mean you need to offer poor customer services.
N.
A great place that has a creative menu and good food. Their prices are a little on the high side, but you see that reflected in the quality of ingredients. A good place for breakfast, or for coffee anytime. Nicely decorated and a artistic atmosphere. I like the river theme with stones and rocks used for decorating. Check it out for yourself.
C.
Perfect Pit stop. Delicious hearty home made food. Great atmosphere, friendly staff.
R.
Great food and relaxed atmosphere.
J.
Tasty lunch, good coffee, service was prompt despite being busy, friendly vibe, cosy & rustic
E.
We went early in the morning and it's was peaceful and quiet. customer service was wonderful. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Although we didn't eat anything we were very impressed by the beautiful selection of cabinet food and the variety of the menu, it sounded delicious!
I enjoyed reading the funny posters above the till and the environmental concious suggestions.
Great coffee. A delightful serendipitous stop!
G.
They make the very best toasted sandwich. A great cafe, good parking, excellent service
S.
Had the lamb pie. Was not heated through, still cold in the middle. They reheated it. Taste was great. Will still go there when traveling through Murchison 😋
B.
Great food, service and surroundings. Highly recommended.
C.
Great scones and toasted sandwich is also fantastic
D.
Good food, nice staff and nice building great pies and wedges
G.
Best burger I've had it included tomato, mushrooms, onion, lettuce and an egg 10 out of 10.
N.
Would be really nice if half your meals came out at the sametime as the first half rather than having to ask not once but three times where they were. Yes they arrived 45 minutes later. Hmmm. Food not bad.
C.
I got the berries and cream pancakes and a tea. Both were excellent. The tea was loose leaf, which was a pleasant surprise. Although the price was a bit higher than other cafes, the quality matched the cost. They seem to put a lot of care into what they serve. I highly recommend this cafe.
J.
Great service, great coffee
N.
The Rivers Breakfast is a goodnonentonset you up for the day 😁
M.
Delicious food and coffee. The buttermilk pancake was the best (even with the raisins)!
A.
This is a great place. food is a little different than most other cafes but very good. portions are generous. Coffee is good. service and staff excellent. Decor in keeping. Well worth a visit
I.
Delicious chicken and leek pie big enough to share.
Disappointing to see that some covid requirements were not being adhered to, customers were placing orders at the counter instead of being seated, ensuring that customers were signing in and over the time we were there several tables were cleared but none were wiped down.
S.
Had lunch there on Wednesday. Tasty food. Watch out for the young girl taking orders as she does not listen and asked me 3 times what type of coffee I wanted. Still a nice cafe.
e.
Top shelf sausage rolls! ... and a cracking muffin with plenty of chocolate and raspberries included....
A.
Average cafe with nice decor.
K.
Stumbled across this cafe by accident and was the last customer of the day. The coffee was perfect and the Lamb Shank pie was stunning to say the least. Possibly the best pie I have eaten in my entire life! I would make a 100km detour just to get one of these!
V.
Awesome food, awesome music...great owners didn't know it was there usually pass through Murchison...worth a visit gets busy though...
M.
Much, better than options on main road. Coffee is very good, and they make a really good toastie and fries. Worth the 20 second detour.
J.
Always good, recommend for sure
M.
Bit pricey. Food was good.
S.
Great coffee and good food. A great place to stop on the way through. Highly recommended.
R.
Travelling through South Island with friends from the UK. Happened upon this fab place after local advice. Wonderful food....honestly the mince and cheese pie was to die for.
My chums tell me the orange and date scons, warmed (with butter of course ) are superb.
Once again, staff are so welcoming.
Many thanks....
W.
The food was great. But the waitress mucked up the coffee's and gave my wife milk, subsequently she was unwell all afternoon.
M.
We always call in on our way to Nelson. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is 2nd to none. I came in at 1145. I was unaware that Breakfast stops at 1100 but the kitchen staff said they would still make pancakes, bacon and banana anyway. I had them on the way to and on the way home from our trip.........they are massive and to die for. You have to try them!!
A.
Great food excellent selection. Cozy fire on winter day. Yummy big scones
K.
Great place to stop for food on the road, the coffee hit the spot. The soup of the day was so tasty. I would have been very proud of myself if I had made it!
V.
Stopped for coffee and breakfast on the way through. Had pancakes and bacon - massive fluffy pancakes and generous serving of bacon and syrup. Coffee was good too.
K.
The best traveler's stop in Murchison. Great coffee, interesting decor. The portions of the cabinet food are oversized.
N.
Stopped here for coffee and a cheese and onion scone today. Both were great, surroundings were pleasant and service was also good. Now my go to Cafe when travelling through Murch.
B.
Always call in here for lunch on our way to and from chch. Great staff and yummy food. Nothing is a bother. Warm and welcoming .
G.
A really rustic cafe with great food. The lamb shank pie was superb and the carrot cake was excellent.
P.
Great food and nice surroundings
J.
Fantastic array of food. Plenty of seating. Service is great and dogs are allowed in the out door area.
N.
Rivers breakfast was amazing. Great coffee & hot chocolate. Date scone take away was also amazing 👏. Great service.
K.
Enjoyed the food and service. Very busy but did not have to wait to long.
S.
Great food and atmosphere, and friendly staff. Will highly recommend.
D.
Good food, freindly staff.
M.
Yummy sausage rolls, great coffee
D.
Nice food. Last owners seemed to run the place better, and also allowed dogs at outside tables. Used to be our go to Cafe in the area, now we just go where is more convenient
M.
Relaxing place with lots of space and excellent food and drinks. Takeaways packed so you can stop later and enjoy food that hasn't been squashed in a paper bag!!
T.
my mother and I popped in here yesterday for a cuppa before our desination of nelson. My mum had been here before and loved their toasted sandwiches, I hadnt even heard of the place so I suggested going there. Wow, very inviting from the outside with all the outside seating, and off the main road with all its noise from trucks and cars. Outside had overhead shade and it was a very hot day. I chose to try the raspberry muffin, it was to die for....REAL raspberries and so many in the muffin. I will come to this place everytime i come through murchison instead of going to the main truck stop one. This is a classic of the best place hidden away. Just off the main road.
M.
An ok place with tables inside and outside to enjoy coffee and lunch. We ordered coffee. It took a long time. New (?) staff came out with food several times, but not meant for us. Odd, because everyone gets a number. So there seems to be a need for a smoother process.
B.
Pleasant service But average coffee....my long black looked good but over extracted at taste experience
Y.
We've stopped here on Tourism Radio's recommendation.
The cafe is a repurposed gas station with a unique setting.
The food is really standard, not bad and not great.
There isn't a whole lot of restaurants to choose from, so this is as good as it gets.
J.
Top quality food, great out door seating, great service. Watch out for wasps after wet weather, though. Yummy salmon quiche for $10, not bad, although the more ordinary food like a pie is rather on the expensive side, but the complimentary water is as pure as you can get
K.
Staff were efficient and service prompt.
l.
Best veggi nachos I have ever had in a cafe. Thanks for an enjoyable lunch guys.
C.
Coffee was OK. Not the worst in the land but not the best either. Wraps are really well sized and good. Mince and cheese pie was disappointing, came out looking like a paua without a shell/deflated tire and only cheese seemed to be the sprinkling of cheese on top. Filo pastry was in the middle and ok but not amazing.
K.
Great coffee and tasty food!
M.
A lovely Cafe that has a has a cool interior design scheme. Off the main road slightly but the best place in Murchison for a coffee.
G.
Lovely spot, especially with the fire going. Always our go to place for coffee and a snack.
B.
Great food, lovely coffee and fast service. Will definitely come again!
F.
Big selection of food, pre-made & fresh. Good service and loads of seating in and outside. Gift shop attached. Only thing was it isn't cheap at $8.50 for a chicken salad sandwich.
R.
Great food and atmosphere. I love to stop here for a coffee and a snack.
M.
Great sausage roll and carrot cake. Reasonable prices despite having a captive market in a tourist town.
A.
Great coffee and delicious food. We had their mango cheesecake for dessert and it was amazing! Good prices too. Highly recommended.
K.
Good service, great food ...lovely place to relax with the whole family

C.
Wow!! Best food ever. Best smoothie ever. Will be back, thank you River's Cafe! 🙌🙌🙌
J.
Good service, great food, very generous portions.

Nice little place off the main street. They should add an ingredient list for their burgers. They could also use more toilets. Quick service.
S.
Love Rivers Cafe and always stop when traveling from Christchurch to Nelson. Great coffee, good, honest home style meals, fabulous pies and the biggest and best Afghan biscuits in NZ. Highly recommended.
i.

I.
Fantastic burger with Turkish bread, took 30 min but it’s delicious and fresh. If you’re lost in the west coast of South Island, it’s a nice stop.
I.
Good choice of cabinet food. Very pricey for cafe in a small rural town...really taking advantage of the tourists coming through. But nice atmosphere
P.
Good coffee and food, but a little pricey. Better than the competition on the main Street. Nice atmosphere.
J.

Went for lunch and the team catered for our gluten free needs really well. They went out of their way to help and it was really appreciated

The best cafe in Murchison. Fresh home made food. Lamb shank pie topped with kumara is the perfect winter comfort dish!

Good food and rustic decor. Coped well with a busy lunchtime crowd.
T.
Good vegan options for us, helpful staff and good service. Didn't expect to find such a good cafe in such a small town.
M.
Just an average place to stop for lunch. Burger was ok, soup quite bland and margarine served to bread. Still, probably the best lunch choice in Murchison
K.
Had lunch here. Ice latte, Fish n Chips and Beef burger. Delicious n thumbs up. Service was prompt n good.
D.
One of my fave cafes...
