CPR Coffee Co — Restaurant in Marlborough

I went to CPR Coffee Co yesterday at 1pm for a takeaway coffee and stood at the counter for at least 5 minutes while two of the staff members walked around without acknowledging me what so ever. After thinking I was at the wrong counter I asked the barista if I was in the right place to be served and then she said yes. Finally a RUDE lady with short blond hair came over and abruptly said “we are about to close” I asked if I could please get a takeaway coffee and she replied “can I see your vacation passport” I showed her and then she put it through the till without any thank you and left me to wave my card. I then waited and observed for the next 5-7 minutes while my coffee was being made and during this time over 10 potential customers (wanting to spend their money) came in for something to eat. It was just after 1pm so I presume they wanted lunch and the cabinet was full of food!! Each and everyone of them stood in line just to be rudely told from the blond lady “we are closing soon, takeaway coffees only” no smile, no hello, no sorry we are closing soon! I could not believe how rude she was on top of turning so many paying customers away during these tough times…what a joke! This was an absolute disappointing experience and I will never give my business to this place again especially when there are other great cafes in the area with friendly staff such as The Karaka to name one. This lady needs to be taught some serious customer...

Had a weekend brunch there, it has nice a vibe by appearance.

Food was very good. Ordered big breakfast and egg bene with salmon, decent portion and quite tasty. The fresh fried hash browns had perfect texture.

There is almost NO SERVICE. Seriously lack of staff on a busy Saturday morning - only one lady covering front of the cafe and one lady behind counter as both barista and cashier. There was no one greeting customer, arranging tables or even giving out a menu, self service on everything. Ordered while the cafe was about half full and food was served after a roughly 32...

The team is friendly, and the portion size and value is good. The smoothies are really good as well. The coffee was just okay, but there was a good selection of milk options. The lamb salad was really nice with good flavor and perfectly cooked lamb. The eggs Bennie was just so so, the hash browns were pretty soft especially with all the hummus, egg and holidays. The holidays and hummus tasted like it was brought in, not sure if it was or not, but overall, it was still good value for money.

Would definitely...
