I always bring visitors to Christchurch here! Such a cool dining experience and there is always something new to try. A bit expensive for a long black but worth it for the nice setting. There are great vegan and vegetarian options too!

A must see. Contemporary and eclectic. The tickets are hidden behind an automatic bookshelf wick slides open to reveal a star wars themed amenities. An old building revamped with a delivery system that carry you curly fries to your table via pneumatic tubes. The soup was a bit watery but treated nice with thick multigrain bread. Benedict was a chunky cut off ham deep fried. Very tasty. Great coffee, very quick service for coffee. No skim milk available. Prices are up there a bit. Not full service though. Order at the bar and table delivered. Literally a second after finishing the meal your plate is extracted at light speed, before the fork hits the table.

Yummy food and great outdoor setting. I love that they have their own culinary garden in the middle of the city! Also the Harry Potter like quirks of the cafe are awesome!

I ordered sliders and they arrived in a high-speed tube to my table. You can't beat that. (Evening menu only)
A little "expensive," but not really, and 100% worth the novelty. Sure you can find sliders for cheaper elsewhere, but they won't come in a tube! with fries! And they were delicious. Also - do go to the toilets.
Also came back for morning brunch. Food did not arrive in a tube but was certainly delicious. They also do great coffee here.response / report this review -

One of the MOST WEIRDLY ENTERTAINING (and delicious) CAFE EXPERIENCES I've ever had! Curly fries come from tubes in the ceiling. Water comes from a sewing machine (and fizzy water from a dentist fountain). Bathrooms are hidden behind the bookshelf. Coffee roaster is in the vault. It's an experience that you won't forget.

This cafe made me a very happy boy. Not only was their coffee exceptionally good and there was curly fries, the curly fries was sent to me via pneumatic tubes and the water refilling station was an old sewing machine that used the wheel on the side as a tap. How cool is that?!

Got my curly fries in a pneumatic tube. A unique concept! The meals were delicious regardless and the coffee was really well made.

Cool little place for coffee and snacks, fun serving fries with pneumatic tubes. Love the decor and atmosphere, friendly staff. But was a bit disappointed with their table service. One staff wanted to clean up our table without asking when we were still going. Would give it a 5 star review if it wasn't that, shame.

Cool little place. Great selection of teas. Service sometimes friendly- def not if you ask for trim milk in your coffee, they don't do that and will look at you with utter distain for suggesting you want your coffee that way. Curly fries in the tubes one of a kind thing so always a hit with tourists. They do clear any plates as soon as you've finished last mouthful or try to take away your tea before you've even finished- a bit too eager sometimes to get rid of you to free up table space.

Very cool place for coffee and eats. Very quirky with some unique features like hidden bookshelf toilets, food served to your table via tubes. Is a little more expensive than most cafes and often busy but worth a visit

Great place to order coffee and relax. The food delivery by pneumatic tube is very original and fun. Bathroom is located behind a 'secret' door. Plus food and drink quality was good.

Really funky place that is great for families or for hanging out with friends, coffee etc. The new slider menu was great. I'm vegetarian and the cauliflower ones are a must! Make sure you get 2 of those ;) The wait was a bit long and service ok. We asked where our burgers were and the young girls didn't get back to us but they arrived shortly after. Free soda water from dentist thing is awesome! Raw deserts look amazing but was too full to try them! Cabinet food is really fast and lots of options. Also toilets are very cool, def try them out, audio books, sliding bookcase door etc. Also right next to Alice's check it out and my daughter loves the old fashioned horse ride thing :)
