Suburban Eatery — Restaurant in Canterbury

Their food looked very good. Some of it was labelled incorrectly though. Instead of getting a chicken ciabatta and a BLT Turkish we got 2 beef ciabattas. They told us the chicken ciabattas were actually not chicken, but beef.

Enclosed herewith two ugly art on the Latte coffee for...

We went out of our way to visit Suburban Eatery just for the food, but was so surprised by the overall atmosphere of this little coffee shop. Cute pictures, lots of plants! We specifically visited during the holidays and they had lots of decorations! Comfy seating and tables big enough for 2 - 4 people. The staff were very friendly and introduced us to some of the food choices. We just had an iced coffee and iced mocha with a sandwich. Out of all the places near Christchurch, this was the best and im still shocked how this location was our favorite pick from others in the main Christchurch city. If we ever come up again, we'll definitely be...
