Lovely yummy food, awesome service and what a location on the beach front. You just have to experience it, plus take hot swim, ice pool plunge, sauna etc. at the hot pool right there or walk the beach or surf the wave. Yah AAA+++

Saturdays Cafe is a hidden gem! Tucked away by He Puna Taimoana Hot Pools, it's New Brighton's best kept secret! A matcha lovers dream. I had the Iced Strawberry Matcha and Matcha French Toast. Both had very good, strong matcha flavours in them. The French Toast had dollops of matcha cream cheese, chocolate, and caramel sauces, making it a very sweet treat. Yum! The cutest little cafe. Beautiful views of the New Brighton Pier. I absolutely love the decor. Staff were so lovely and provided a warm atmosphere.

Great restaurant on the New Brighton beachside. Awesome Coffee and you can grab a take away and visit the Saturday markets, head to the beach or kids playground.

Food is pretty close to perfect, poached eggs cooked just the way I like it. Coffee is pretty good too. Good spot for breakfast after a beach run/walk

I was just planning to grab a quick coffee before heading to the Hot Pool, but as soon as I saw the cabinet food, I couldn’t help myself and ended up ordering way more than I expected. And I’m so glad I did! The coffee was smooth and rich, and every single item I tried from the food to the desserts was absolutely delicious and satisfying. It felt like an unexpected little gem that I just happened to stumble upon. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It’s one of those places you don’t plan for, but end up remembering. Thank you for such a lovely experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food and coffee! The Turkish eggs had some flavors I haven't gotten anywhere else in Christchurch which were just right for breakfast. I'll probably try it with the bacon next time too. Genuinely some of the best pork belly and hash browns I've ever had Also really appreciate that they serve coffee from Grey's
