Before opening Coffee Cultures all over the city, this used to be one of the best places to go in Christchurch, now I feel it's on the lower end of the coffee culture scale (which isn't saying much for it) but you can still hit jackpot if it's not too busy!
Well below average coffee, slow, rude staff, and it takes FOREVER to get a freakin cup of coffee. There are so many good cafes around the area that you think they'd pick up their game, but sadly, no.
I love Le Cafe! It has been a social hotspot for many years, as well as providing top notch coffee and food (although the food can be a bit pricy). I would highly recommend giving Le Cafe a go to anyone.
Vic's is amazing! Friendliest staff in the world! Beautiful, amazing, mouth watering food. And the coffee is wonderful. The baristas at Vic's have all been well trained, and pass their knowledge onto the newbies as they come. There is a lovely outdoor setting area also that is really nice on a sunny day.
I work really close to both Procope and Vic's, and I choose Vic's everytime! (My poor bank account)
