It's a great place to visit on a sunny morning. Enjoy a cold brew or an iced latte by the deck with a view of the sea and the delicious summer breeze, their marvellous chocolate cake or any pastry selection or their well-known eggs Benedict. Lyttelton Coffee Company is the ultimate bohemian, a very cosy and locally fueled place to have brekky on the weekends, meet friends and unwind. 

From textiles to tomatoes to "touch this it's so soft" sweaters. The Tannery has all the boxes and all the checks. Located in Woolston, it's a must-go and a must-leave with more. 

Many locals argue that Lillies has the best pizza in town. All are made in their wood-fired oven and decorated with the yummiest and most interesting toppings, from thyme and hot honey to spicy squid ragu, pumpkin, and clams. According to pizza fanatics, this place is unmatched and worth the hype. However, if you are not into pizza or carbs, the daily menu always has other eclectic dishes to offer. Enjoy a laidback date with friends while sipping on their well-known homemade cider and don't miss their heavenly desserts. 

Estelle is a sensational cafe and restaurant that sells exquisite and classic dishes to enjoy in their hip location or on the go. It is simple, fresh and very comforting. A true local gem.
