CBD Eatery — Restaurant in Marlborough

Although I've always had great service and food here, I had a negative experience with the barista today. I ordered an almond iced coffee as I'm celiac and can't have oat milk as it will make me very sick. The lady with pink hair on the register was absolutely lovely and confirmed it was an almond iced coffee 3 times to me, but when the baritsa came over with the drink, she had made it with oat milk. I brought it back over to the barista and told her I can't have oat milk as I'm allergic to gluten and ordered with almond milk. When I told her this she glared at me and rolled her eyes which I found to be very rude and offensive as I have no control over my intolerance and had always thought that cbd was a safe space for me to eat and drink. While I waited for her to remake the drink I could see her very clearly glaring at me from the coffee machine which made me severally uncomfortable and if I didn't have food coming I would have left because of it. She did remake it and brought it over, saying she was sorry, but I just found the way she dealt with the situation to be completely disrespectful and downright rude. I have no wish for her to be fired but I do think it would be good to talk to her about her customer service and people skills. I have no desire to spend days in bed sick unable to move and potentially hospitalized because of an easy to fix mistake. Other than the baritsa the rest of the staff were lovely and the food was great. Luckily I...

I'm making my way through the menu as we settle into our new location. We wondered into the CBD a month ago and find no shortage of excuses to come back each week.

If you can get in early enough, the three cheese scones are the best in Blenheim. They also carry a delightfully aromatic Earl Grey.

The Eggs Benedict is served with an abundant and saporous helping of lemony hollandaise sauce; choices of bacon, avocado, or salmon. For the most part the eggs are soft poached as expected but we've had a couple of disappointments with the eggs cooked through which is a bit naughty since the poaching is key to a great Benedict.

The bacon Mac and Cheese is okay. It's creamy and salty with well integrated sauce but the bacon overwhelms the dish taking the attention away from the sauce.

The Blueberry Pancake's ambrosial fluffy texture. Dulcet and delectable with its fluffy texture. I dreamed of this for a straight week after my last go.

The Spanish omelette only implies the veggies cooked in (vs hiding in the folded egg pancake) not the traditional tortilla de patatas. The texture is light and buoyant with the flavor of veg standing out over hints of onion or cheese.

The coffee is nice and the staff friendly. Thus far it's my favorite cafe...

CBD Eateries Cafe is the best place in Blenheim to go anytime really especially at weekends. The couple who run the business they work bloody hard, and so do the staff as well. The food is A1 top notch, and there's a wide selection on the board and in the cabinets. The big brekkie would be my pick, but it's always bloody difficult deciding what Mrs and I will have.

Got get there early during the weekends if you are looking for somewhere to go as there's bugger all other places to choose from in Blenheim.

Well done, Mike and Mrs Mike, as you guys do an awesome job, and we will always keep coming back. Sea food chowder is the best i have ever tried. Bloody awesome.

Sore...
