A pleasant surprise! - Edit
I already new this was going to be a great place to visit from all the beautiful pictures and reviews. However it exceeded expectations, in a wonderful spot surrounded by more shops and eateries. Absolutely delicious food and lovely staff, a must visit, can't wait to be back!

Incredible options. Had the mushroom benedict and my partner had the avo smash. The smash was legit 2 avocados worth. NZ needs more places like this!

Wow!! 😍 - Edit
Atmosphere is awesome here, with yum, healthy & fresh food. I had the nourish bowl which was delicious (and aesthetically pleasing), while my friend had the mushroom toast which she also thoroughly enjoyed. They also have a nice selection of yummy looking cakes that I look forward to trying. Stopping by for a bite is a must!

Incredible food! Great value for money - Edit
Went here with a big group of friends, some vegan and some not. Most of us got buckwheat waffles which were AMAZING, fluffy and delicious! The avocado toast was ridiculously generous with the avo. Great coffee and lovely tranquil setting with lots of indoor plants and space. We will be back ASAP to sample the rest of the menu! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Got waffles (both kinds) $15 and coffee $5.5. Amazing. The coffee was a little burnt but the waffles more than made up for it. Every bite was a taste sensation.

Amazing! - Edit
This is such an amazing spot! So many vegan options - it was hard to choose! We wound up getting both versions of the buckwheat waffles and they were delicious! It’s also in such a fun shared space with several other spots and a gorgeous atrium area. We may have to stop back in again before our trip is over!

SOOOOOOO GOOOD!! - Edit
This place is awesome in every way. The staff are friendly & helpful and just a picture of health. The food is divine and you can tell it's made with love and that the owner & staff are passionate about providing plant based foods, which makes it taste even better!! There's lots of choices and coffees, teas, and smoothies too😄My partner & I shared the buckwheat waffles which looked soo pretty and were so delicious to eat. We also had a smoothies each so our bellies were contented and satisifed. But it was too good to just walk away so we took takeway barefoot bowls home (like a buddha bowl) . They travelled well back to Hokitika, where we had them for dinner. We will definitely be back everytime we are in ChCh ..might even have to make a special trip over the hill especially just for lunch at this fantastic place.

A slice of Oasis in the City - Edit
That cold press juice on tap is ridiculously good. Staff were very friendly about running over the menu and helping me with swapping ingredients around.
Read moreGreat to see the city coming to life and a friendly plant based eatery open up.
We tried the Nourish Bowl and Toasted sandwich which was well balanced and full of flavour.
We will be back!

Promising but pricey - Edit
Came for breakfast just after 7am to be told the chef doesn’t start till 8am, so could only order a smoothie bowl. Okay but small. The chai was amazing but also small. A bit overpriced but would try again later in the day. With only one person serving & making food they need more staff earlier.

Delicious wholesome food - Edit
Super delicious food and fresh juices on tap. The guy there was also really friendly and helpful. The space is nice to sit in (part of a complex). Only downside was the price - but maybe that’s just Christchurch. The food was very good but not overly filling. We got a bowl and a veggie toast between us
