wildbean cafe — Restaurant in Christchurch

Whilst recovering from a serious injury, I relearned how to walk and ride a bike. In the process, I looked for the best cafe stops along the way, within a few kms of where I live.

I certainly wasn't expecting a BP garage to feature on my list, but decided to try it on one of my daily walks. It was a pleasant surprise to find one of the smoothest FW coffees in the area and a great selection of counter food too - hot and cold. When I tried the muffin selection and discovered my favourite Carrot Cake variety in the process, I was hooked and it's become a regular stop for me. The new Colombian blend coffee is a nice sharper alternative too.
