I’ve been frequenting Terry’s Coffee daily since its original location in the shipping container in Hereford Street. The coffee is fantastic, service is exceptional and the scones are far too tempting!!!

Here’s a review for Café Terry’s in Christchurch: I had a delicious chocolate chip cookie, along with a hot chocolate and hot matcha—both were absolutely comforting on a cold day. The warm atmosphere and friendly service made it even better. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy some tasty treats.
