LeBakermen Cafe & Bakery — Restaurant in Christchurch

Saturday morning pie and coffee at the recommendation of my wife for the coffee. 10.15am and there was already a queue starting to form.. obviously a popular place. Chose a steak and pepper pie from the cabinet from a wide variety of flavours from venison to vegetable. The pie was medium size with a fluffed pastry looking top. Price was $8.50 so I thought it better taste good due to the size and price, ordered also a flat white with 2 sugars... my standard. Had to wait for the coffee about 5-10 mins which was ok and a good chance to see the busy staff at work like bees in a hive everyone worked together to get through the orders. And deliver to the waiting guests. From standing in a queue that was at least 10 parties deep the wait time was very short and the staff polite and efficient. The pie and coffee, well the pie I knew as I sunk my teeth into the flakey top pastry and into the meatie goodness inside that I was not going to be disappointed. It was very well balanced flavour and full of meat with the right amount of pepper for my liking.. leaving a pepper taste to follow which mixed with a coffee was an awesome start to a Saturday. The coffee was hot and the brew was perfect. Coffee rating 9.5, pie rating 9.5(always room to make heavenly although very close this time). Will I be back... most certainly... I hope the kids play soccer close again next weekend...or I might have to make an excuse...

Visited Le Bakermen Cafe & Bakery, Wigram for the first time on Saturday 15 April 2023. Opened 8am & has hassle free parking.

We ordered an LB Breakfast which included 2 eggs, smoky bacon, chorizo, portobello mushroom, grilled tomato, avocado & feta puree, lemon zest hollandaise on a toasted ciabatta. We only waited a short time for our breakfast to come out. We asked for our moccachino's to be served with our breakfasts & these followed our meal a short time later.

The LB Breakfast was absolutely delicious & the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. Everything was cooked well with nice flavours. The moccachino was the best moccachino that I've had in a while.

There is cabinet food available as well - which we'll have to try next time.

The staff were friendly & courteous.

I've driven past this place so many times before & kept saying I've gotta go there sometime.

My overall thoughts are that this is a hidden little gem of a food business in the suburbs. I'm kicking myself that I didn't come here ages ago. It's well worth a visit & effort to get up early for on a Saturday morning. Would highly recommend this place & will definitely be making a return...

Have been in to LeBakerman Cafe and Bakery a few times now. Pretty much just for a takeaway coffee and a sneaky sausage roll! The food looks really nice most times and the staff are very friendly and helpful most often than not. Coffee is good! My last visit I had a look at the hot cabinet for my weekly sausage roll fix. $4.50 for a small and $6.50 for what they call a jumbo. It appeared to me like the small size that I normally get were getting smaller in size so I purchased a jumbo one. Looked in the bag and swore they had given me a small but apparently jumbo sized. Will post a photo. Maybe I'm just out of touch of what cafes are charging now but I was left a little disappointed at being charged $6.50 when I possibly couldve gone elsewhere and got more bang for my buck. Nice sausage...
