Great coffee and cozy vibe! Lovely service and quick too. Perfect spot to relax.

Love this place every time we come to Christchurch we visit Park Ranger Cafe. Coffee is excellent never had a bad one. Food cabinet and menu has a huge selection, it’s fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are attentive, friendly and know the locals names, always a great sign of a good cafe. Make sure when in Riccarton Christchurch you check these guys out.

Really great coffee here. The FOH staff make it personal and super friendly. Lively baked goods and cabinet food with a difference. Bustling cafe.

Great cafe! Food is amazing and fresh. They are super quick even when quite busy. Do a great matcha latte. Cater well to dietary requirements.

Best chia and smoothie bowls around! Would definitely recommend. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Outstanding cafe. The food is divine, the service impeccable and it's a good atmosphere with plenty of seating. Thoroughly recommended. It is now our go to place when down in Christchurch. Well done and keep up the amazing work.

Three barista friends who have been coming here way too often for the past 4 months can confirm that the coffee is insanely good. The same goes for the food.

This place is perfect for reading a book with a great cup of coffee. Seriously, the coffee was amazing. The smoothie bowl was super fresh and delicious too! It’s always packed, but no wonder!
