Coffee Lovers Cafe

Coffee Lovers Cafe sits comfortably on New Regent Street, offering a laid-back spot that naturally draws in locals and visitors looking for solid coffee paired with simple yet satisfying brunch options. The cafe’s casual vibe is amplified by its large windows, which look out onto the lively street where you might catch a tram passing by, adding a touch of local charm and movement to your visit.

Regulars and newcomers alike seem to appreciate the well-crafted coffee here, with standout items like the large flat white and cappuccino performed reliably well. Beyond the drinks, the menu caters to morning and midday appetites with everything from hearty all-day breakfasts like Eggs Benedict (including gluten-free options) to lunch choices such as classic burgers and wraps. Portions feel just right — enough to satisfy hunger without overwhelming.

The space itself is cozy without feeling cramped, making it a comfortable breakfast or brunch stop whether you're meeting friends or grabbing a pause on your own. Early afternoons during the weekend tend to be quieter, a good time if you prefer a slower pace without the usual city bustle. Be mindful, though, that the occasional cheeky local bird might keep an eye on your plate if you’re seated near the windows!

Families also find this cafe welcoming, especially with children enjoying the hot chocolate as much as the adults enjoy their coffees or matcha lattes. Friendly service rounds out the experience, making it easy to return for a casual catch-up or a reliable caffeine fix while out and about in Christchurch Central City.

Ideal for:

• Morning or midday coffee lovers wanting a straightforward, quality brew
• Brunch seekers who appreciate gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly picks
• Visitors looking for a relaxed street-side spot with local character
• Families needing a welcoming space with kid-friendly drink options

Best time to visit: Quiet weekend afternoons or weekday mornings to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere with less foot traffic.
