Casa Mia Espresso — Restaurant in South Island

My partner and I have a cheese scone/muffin obsession…. Every weekend maybe even a few times during the week we buy them taste them rate them then onto the next … we’ve almost traveled the whole South Island plus our whole city (christchurch) on the hunt for the best scone/muffin. Yesterday was the day I think I have finally found the one. We ordered the cheese muffin we knew it was going to be good the golden cheese crust on the top and don’t even get me started on how huge it was it was the perfect temperature the ooey gooey cheesiness just over took my tastebuds I was dancing in excitement. We were full extremely satisfied I even fought him for the last bit. We had dinner reservations for that night somewhere else… we canceled then ordered another take away cheese muffin called it a day and enjoyed it for dinner that night too ….

Can’t say we’ve ever done a two cheese order in one day and had it for lunch and dinner so that’s telling us something.

Thank you so much for finally putting a stop on our hunt but also why do you have to be so far away from our home too haha 😂 wonder if I could get them sent in the post??

Thank...

Finally, our soup came out in 35 minutes but not as it should be. As specified in the menu, the soup should come with two cheese rolls but they just put two small slices of plain bread. When I asked about it to the manager or owner (with lots of tattoos), she replied brusquely I should pay more for the cheese rolls. Even after I calmly pointed out what it says on the menu she didn't explain or apologise and just said I should wait long since they‘re busy. I gave it up and was very mad at her dishonest, rude and undesirable attitude. Surely she knew I was a tourist there thus she treated me in such an unpleasant way. Besides, the soup itself was so watery and bland. Coffee was terrible, too. It had burnt taste. Never...

Town was busy so we walked into a new place for us. We noticed the natural light, plants and nice decour first and then saw the great selection of food in the cabinet and on the menu. Service was friendly, professional and quick, coffee was excellent and then the food that arrived was outstanding. All five meals were delicious and a very good size. We will...
