Coffee good taste, beautiful but not hot enough, food very average, my partner order breakfast bowl but chef forgot egg and I had to asked for him. One girl (staff) not smiley, slow and no service mind

We loved Black Betty Cafe so much we went twice for breakfast while we were in Christchurch! They have a nice menu selection, delicious coffees, and the menu is very allergen friendly. The atmosphere is great too! Genuinely zero complaints… give it a go!

We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was delicious! However, our visit on Sunday was a bit of a wait - it took about 30 minutes for our breakfast bowls to arrive. While the flavors were great, the portions felt a little small for the price. Adding a second egg for example would make the dish feel much more complete. Overall, a lovely spot, just hope for faster service next time!

Absolutely delicious food, satisfying coffee, and very welcoming staff. If you want good coffee and good food, you can’t go wrong with Black Betty Cafe!

Black Betty Café offers generous portions at reasonable prices, and the service is impressively quick. It’s a fantastic spot for brunch. I especially recommend the Eggs Benny—the house-made hollandaise is delicious. A cozy café that’s perfect for a quick catch-up.
