The Origin

Such an interesting place. Everything is good except the food. Food looks amazing but tasted…not even mid? The pancake had only 1 taste; too sweet. The matcha banana shake was like mushy bananas only…Such a shame, cause the staff members are very nice, the place has a very calming atmosphere and design. Hopefully they will create new menu or change the recipes.

Love this cafe, so beautiful with the scandi decor and very calming inside unlike so many hectic loud cares around Christchurch. Coffee is delicious!

The cafe itself is really cute and clean. The atmosphere is calm and the interior is real nice. The coffee is unmatched, the best one we’ve had so far down here in New Zealand.nWould recommend to other rodents

Gorgeous cafe tucked into the neighbourhood. Love that all the food is vegan. The hot chocolate with oat milk was Incredible. We only had some cabinet food as we weee short on time but can’t wait to come back & try the menu as everything looks super tasty! Friendly staff, parking just our the front. Toilets available and good wheelchair access also

Really nice and chilled vegan cafe! We had the tofu, the fried rice & noodle soup with lassis! Everything was very delicious - only one comment -the rice was missing some flavour - they all came out relatively fast! Staff was friendly! We’ll be back :
