N’Joy Cafe — Restaurant in Christchurch

What an incredible spot! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and cozy — perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a peaceful solo breakfast. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish beautifully presented and packed with flavor.

We tried a great selection: the rich and creamy eggs benedict, a perfectly rolled omelette with smoked salmon, vibrant smashed avo toast topped with crunchy chickpeas, and the standout French toast — loaded with berries, banana, bacon, and a drizzle of syrup. Each plate was not only a visual treat but tasted just as good as it looked.

The coffee? Smooth, bold, and brewed just right.

But what made the experience truly special was the amazing owner, who brought so much heart and energy to the place. Super friendly, attentive, and passionate — you can tell they really care about the food and the people.

This café is definitely one of those rare gems you keep coming back to....

The staff were super friendly, helpful, and everything was done with a huge smile. Nothing was too much trouble, which is a breath of fresh air when travelling with a youngster and someone with a low immune system. The cafe itself is a really relaxed area, and during our visit they had a chilled Studio Ghibli soundtrack playing, which I loved. My family and I are super excited to return for breakfast before heading home. The cafe appears to be pet friendly, so fingers crossed for some dogs as...

A lovely wee cafe with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and coped beautifully with our large table of ladies chatting away. You’d never know you’re in the middle of a busy group of shops with a train line nearby - everything inside is calm and peaceful with lots of hanging greenery and loads of natural light. Pet friendly, delicious counter food, loads of parking- you couldn’t ask for more, really....
