I went there for my 5oth birthday brunch, on the sunday 14th april, and I must say the service and the waitress young blonde, she was such and excellence, and very friendly and helps you decide whats in the menu, well worth the travel, we live on the other side of town. meals were tasty and satisfying will be back, with our friends and family.

Every time we visit for brunch on the weekend we are made to feel so welcome. The food is consistently excellent. An awesome choice on the menu and great coffee as well.
Have taken a number of our friends and family there as well. They have all been impressed and will visit again

Absolutely amazing coffee and food! I drop in everyday morning for coffee and go for lunch at least one a week. Fantastic service, in fact the best service you will ever get anywhere! Beautiful artwork too Amy!! I highly recommend this cafe as the best cafe to go to! You won’t be disappointed. You guys at Castle Rock cafe ROCK BIG TIME! I’ll be back as soon as my wrist has mended and I can drive again or when one of my friends will bring me!

We have never had a disappointing visit here!! It is by far the best cafe in Christchurch!! Awesome service, amazing food and really good coffee. Child and pooch friendly too Would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone, especially for breakfast (they have the best mushrooms!!) or if you’re wanting a new ‘local’. I am a vegetarian and they cater any meal I want to suit my needs. It also has a cute outdoor area, good indoor/outdoor flow and a cool vibe. Love, love, love Castle Rock

This is the best cafe in Christchurch and you know it before you even walk in. On the door they say no bikers.

Absolutely awesome – we revisited one of our favourite local cafes only a few days after the earthquake. There they were open and serving fantastic coffee, fresh food and lots of love up to everyone who walks in the door. The weekend breakfast menu is good quality cafe food – eggs and trimmings all round (the mushrooms were fab), fresh breads, pancakes for the kids – just what the doctor ordered. This place is an oasis, treat yourself.

The atmosphere is good, staff friendly, however, I consider they have a very poor selection of gluten free foods. And I was told the cous cous salad is gluten free, which it isn’t unless it is special GF cous cous. Usually there is only 1 GF option – always a variation of a roast vegie salad.

Went to Castle Rock Cafe for the first time today and was not disappointed! We had our two kids with us and I must say the staff looked after them really well and made sure they had stuff to do, kids menu was just as interesting as the adults menu which was also refreshing to see. The food we had was fantastic – a great range of colour, texture, and flavours and great consistency, portion size and price as well!! Atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, and decor interesting to look around at while the food was coming. Overall I would recommend this cafe to anyone who is looking for friendly prompt service, well thought out and prepared food, and a warm relaxed atmosphere.

I’ve been to this cafe now at least four times and each time have been delighted with the food, the excellent service and the child-friendly atmosphere. Toys for the children, colouring in pictures and pencils and the food is well priced.
A hidden gem!

This place is fantastic, staff who love what they do and have thought of everything. A great wee spot to enjoy breakfast or lunch away from the hustle and crazy prices on the high street. I say no more- check it out!! they even have sunglasses to borrow on sunny days
