We went for a family brunch. Food and service was very good. We ended up paying $200 for two adults and two kids which felt a bit too high. The smoothies drove the price up. We‘ve been seated next to the door to the backyard which resulted in lots of traffic and cold air from outside.

Epic! But go hungry! Buttermilk chicken with blue cheese hollandaise was delicious! And the beef cheek hash - rich with gooey eggs. Little one got fries and bacon and the only negative mark on the table was that the bacon had been on the flat plate too long. Cinnamon and Biscoff scrolls were soft, fluffy and scrumptious. Virgin Mary was great - we didn't do coffees this morning. We left feeling utterly stuffed and not needing to eat for the rest of the day. Great ambience with all the plants and very relaxed. A must go.

Hello Sunday is so good every day of the week! I've been here twice this year, which is also how many times I've been to Christchurch this year lol! The Eggs Benedict is simply fantastic, right up there with the best I have had anywhere. Whenever I am back in Christchurch this cafe is on my "must visit" list, no question! Oh, and great tea as well, thank you (from a non-coffee drinker!).

An absolute must if you are in Christchurch! Would have to appear in my top 3 of all time. The beef cheeks were mind blowing, so rich and moreish. Beautiful building, wonderful staff. Don’t miss a chance to have a stunning brunch.

We had a wonderful breakfast at Hello Sunday. The food was absolutely delicious – the beef hash was divine, and even our kids kept sneaking bites! The staff were lovely and very accommodating, even going the extra mile to split the kids’ drink into two glasses to avoid any sibling rivalry. The only small downside was that we were seated in a side room, which lacked some of the main café’s ambience. Overall though, a fantastic spot for breakfast and we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely loved this place, the atmosphere and food was wonderful! I chose this place for my breakfast brunch because I was told it’s lovely and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The staff were very accommodating and sweet. Thank you for making it a memorable day for me. Would definitely come back again <3

Great service at Hello Sunday, every staff member was smiling which is great for see. The eggs benny with bacon was great - if I'm being particular the poached eggs weren't runny, but I won't hold that against them!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Special mention to how good the coffee was too! I’d definitely be back as the rest of the food on the menu looks amazing to try

very cute shop with good coffee (tiramisu latte) and innovative meals (beef cheek hash + Black Forest oats). Turkish eggs for me were a little bland but crispy chickpeas were the best part of the dish- worth it. service was good and food came out timely :) a little empty this morning but lively nonetheless! overall pretty decent breakfast!

This is mostly to confirm the previous reviews were on point as the last review was a while ago. Make reservations if you can. We didn't and were seated quickly, but I noticed our table was reserved after us. The food and service were great.

This place is a must for breakfast if you are Christchurch! They are very creative with the food and their food is presented nicely. I went with the beef hash cheek. It was good but nothing spectacular. The portion was good. If the potatoes were more crispier and salty it would have been better, nevertheless still a good order. My wife went with the granola. I thought it was going to be a boring order but I was proven wrong!!! It tasted great and the portion was big. Finally the reason for the five star rating is their banana loaf which we shared. It's a must if you are in hello Sunday cafe.

I definitely recommend a booking for this fantastic brunch spot in the CBD. It ranks up as one of my top brunch spots in Christchurch and one not to be missed by locals and visitors alike. There will absolutely be a wait if you don't have a booking (and maybe even so if you do have a booking and tables haven't turned over, the space is small and the wait is worth it). If you try to walk in (as we did) the staff will usher you to a waiting room in the store next door and ask for your drink order. Having the coffee while we waited helped wake us up and keep us cheery. About 30 minutes later we were seated at a small wooden table with a chair on one side and wooden bench seat on the other. My husband ordered the Ham Hock Waffles and I ordered the Avocado Smash (not listed on their online menu). The Ham Hock Waffle was a large waffle smothered in ham hock bits and a tomato relish salad complete with melted cheese covering the waffle, chunks of soft cheese, tomatoes, rocket and sprouts. The presentation is fabulous, but the flavor is even better. The Avocado Smash was simply a piece of multi-grain toast simply smothered in smashed avacado and topped with a poached egg, served with polenta fries and chopped cherry tomatoes on the side. Holy Yum. I didn't even want to share with hubby, but since he let me try the waffle, I had to return the favor. VERY reluctantly. We also split a cinnamon bun, which disappeared from our plates before I could snap a photo. It was warm, gooey and fantastic. Overall, effective table turnover, presentation, wait time and taste all exceeded my expectations. You MUST try this brunch spot out!

Tom Jones playing in the background... mad rush of takeaway coffee slurpers... but if you sit down and take the time to enjoy breakfast (small but refreshingly different menu to to the nz/au fare) you will be very pleasantly surprised. Had the shakshuka for breakfast ($22) and was fantastic. Came with home made flat bread with sea salt and caraway seeds. Really good. And with an awesome friendly staff, this can easily become your go to place every Monday to Friday. Or even Sunday.

Cute, hip breakfast / lunch spot about 30 min walk from the cathedral in downtown. Friendly staff and a good mix of people. There's outdoor space as well as indoor and an adorable courtyard out back with herbs growing in pots along the path. Definitely recommended as a local spot to eat!

Excellent food! I ordered 2 plates just for myself! Food is delicious and health concious! Excellent brunch venue!

Sorry had to downgrade the rating because the smoked salon Benedict was just way too salty. The service is ok and the place is really nice. Really wanted to give it a 4 star but then crazy saltiness of the smoked salmon was too much.

Tasty and beautifully presented brunch. Well worth the visit for the fresh take on beef hash alone!

Used my Yelp community to check out a place to eat after visiting the Ferry St Antique shops. Thanks to you all who previously reviewed Hello Sunday. Lunch was just what I wanted and even my mother-in-law was happily taken care of which her sweet choice of crumpets with berries and coconut yoghurt. My salad was excellent and the Japanese pancake chosen by my husband was delish!

The food variety is perfect and the range of heathy dishes available - some with meat and many others without, was just great. The falafel was soft and flavourful and the coffee delicious. Cabinet food also looked good
