Lyttelton Coffee Co.

Blown away by the deco. No pictures for one should go there to experience it. Coffee was GOOD, best so far in our trip. Ordered a piccolo, primary notes was chocolate and the subtle fruitiness sourness came through at the end. Banana, bacon French toast was sinfully sweet, and the coffee really complement it. Sourdough and eggs was great too, even though it was roasted till hard, the flavour of butter and sourdough came through.

Super cool and conscious! Fantastic hip atmosphere, delicious and healthy food, no take away cups (byo) and great coffee. If you're in town, visit here!

Such a unique place, enjoyed sitting in front of the fire on a cold day. Friendly staff and the food was amazing with good coffee. We found the prices to be fair. Even tho we sat inside, the outside view looking over the Port would be lovely on a nice day. Next time over from OZ will pop in again.

Very small serve of eggs on toast Same with the bacon and egg Nice venue Friendly staff

Coffee shop with a nice view of the water. I loved the rustic atmosphere and the old machine inside the cafe. You can have a brunch, or just a snack here. Service was quick despite the busy staff. We came on a Monday morning before noon anf there were many people. Still, we were able to get some seats on the patio area. Coffee was good as well as their smoothies and toast with eggs.

Lyttelton Coffee Company is an absolute gem, nestled in the heart of Lyttelton with stunning mountain views that perfectly complement its cozy, lodge-like interior. The space feels warm and welcoming, with a rustic cabin vibe that’s ideal for relaxing and soaking in the unique charm of this historic port town. Their avocado toast is nothing short of amazing—hands down one of the most delicious I’ve had. I asked to switch the poached eggs for scrambled, and they happily accommodated, which shows their commitment to excellent customer service. The coffee here is truly exceptional—one of the best I’ve had in New Zealand, where coffee can often be hit or miss. What truly impressed me, though, was their commitment to sustainability. Lyttelton Coffee Company seems to promote local everything, and they don’t offer takeaway coffee- I am guessing that they are aligning with their efforts to reduce waste. They had a sign promoting awareness about cruise pollution, which really highlights their environmentally conscious approach. Interestingly, they also don’t serve decaf coffee. While I didn’t ask why, it made me wonder—could it be because certain decaffeination processes aren’t environmentally friendly? The atmosphere here is relaxed yet vibrant, making it a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy a meal or a perfectly brewed cup of coffee. I left feeling refreshed and inspired by their dedication to sustainability and quality. If you’re in Lyttelton, this is a must-visit destination for great food, excellent coffee, and an unforgettable experience.

Great spot! Good food and coffee and views with a nice warm fire place too.

Our friend Patrick brought us on a last day tour and this was a wonderful stop. Harbour view, great food and outdoor dining. Best around.
