Portershed Specialty Café & Store — Restaurant in Christchurch

The Breakfast Burger is delicious! The tasty patty came adorned with hash-brown sticks, on a bun with cheez melted onto it. Menu includes smoothies, milkshakes, housemade ginger ale, hot chocolate; buddha bowl, onion rings, daily soup, breakfast plate and more. Shop shelves have many interesting products and include some good things for travellers, such as peanut-butter sachets, oatmilk powder and containers of pâté and “fish” salad. Lots of sweet things to choose from. Chiller has takeaway sandwich filling, coleslaw, Dunedin-made cheezy spreads, etc. Appetizers and gift boxes available to take away. Spices, soup mixes, fresh bread and ciabatta buns, handmade soaps and many gluten-free items. Cabinet is full of fabulous sandwiches, wraps, savoury piesand many baked treats. I’ve tried the Pinkalicious slice and iced carrot-cake cupcake - both scrumptious. No animal products anywhere in the store. Catering, wholesale and online...

What a lovely little cafe. I felt like I was walking into my own lounge upon entering hete. A mixture of table seating and some comfy couches and chairs if you are in mind for a more relaxed seating. A great selection of coffee and tea offerings waiting to be matched with a varied selection of non dairy milk pairings. Menu offers smoothies and light bites to go with your drink. A quick peek out the back of the cafe shows a little garden which I'm told offers up herbs and vegetables for the kitchen and also what promises to be a gorgeous garden and deck waiting for Summer to appear. Fast, attentive service with a smile and good knowledge of the history of the area and the menu pairings. I will...

Delicious food! I didn't realise it was a vegan cafe until my wife pointed it out to me. The breakfast burger was a mountain of good stuff stacked between two incredibly fresh, incredibly soft buns. The vegan cheese inside the burger was a very happy substitute for the real deal. I also enjoyed a chocolate thickshake which did not disappoint :)

To top it all off, if selecting from the menu isn't for you, you'll be stoked to know the range if cabinet food is sufficiently varied to please all appetites and tastes.

After enjoying breakfast, we also took lunch to go. It's safe to say we'd certainly eat here again......
