Dose Diner

Tasty lil cafe tucked away on Blenheim road, has a good selection of menu food items, as well as a small selection of cabinet food.nnStaff are friendly, and food is fresh, hot and delicious. Coffees are superb.nnParking can be a bit tricky, but designated cafe parking is available

Honestly I think I’m boycotting every other cafe in Christchurch after this.nnAbsolute weaponry here. Outstanding French toast with apple cinnamon, strawberry compote, whipped ricotta, maple syrup, grilled bananas, and bacon. For only 26.nAnd lemme tell you I’ve had some French toast in my time and this is the best breakfast one I’ve had. Dunno what it is about it but boy howdy by golly gee whizz it worked.nnAbsolutely hat and wig off to the chefs and the lovely lady at the counter, and also lemme tell you probably the best chai latte I’ve found, and I love a chai. Plenty of foam, cinnamon, fast service for everything, plenty room, lovely decor and feel.nn15/10 for brunch. So coming back to try eggs Bennie and the fried chicken burger.

Pretty busy today, might have been short-staffed as well as took a long time to get table cleared and coffees served. Had the hotcake and big breakfast for the first time today and both were good. Chai is always great here, which I appreciate. Kind of a hidden gem this one.

Read the reviews before coming here, was hyped for the French Toast. Wasn’t bad at all but was far from what the reviews led me to believe. Still has an award from 2015 on the front door? A little pricy for what you get. All in all not bad but not outstanding, probably wouldn’t return again.

A hidden gem. I really enjoyed the food and the innovative drinks. Definitely try it. A little pricey but worth it I think.
