The Raspberry Café

Tucked into the picturesque pocket of Tai Tapu on Christchurch’s fringe, The Raspberry Café is a haven for unhurried dining.

It champions simple pleasures done well: good, homemade food that is both delicious and satisfying, served in a setting that radiates comfort and calm. Families and solo wanderers alike find an easy welcome here, and the mood is relaxed and convivial, the kind of place where conversation flows and time seems to soften.

From morning to midday, the kitchen moves from toasted bagels with raspberry jam and cream cheese to homemade café granola layered with yoghurt and berry compote. Heartier options include café hotcakes, French toast or The Full Monty - served with two poached eggs on toast, crispy bacon, sausage, mushrooms, a potato hash and grilled tomato.

The kitchen also offers daily mouth-watering bakes and sweet treats that reward a special trip. Pair a slice with a barista-made flat white or a soothing chai latte, or keep things bright with Chia Sisters Juice or a frosty Royal Crown Draft Cola.

Drop by, take a seat, and let Tai Tapu’s sweetest spot welcome you to early dining at The Raspberry Café!
