Cafe Sismo - Christchurch

The food was satisfactory, but that's where the positives end. We ordered eggs on toast for our daughter, but they completely overlooked it. When it finally arrived, it was served with poached eggs instead of the scrambled ones we had requested. The hot chocolates we ordered were no better than lukewarm milk, not hot chocolate at all. However, the coffee was quite good. The poached eggs were also disappointing, leaking water and turning out solid instead of the expected runny texture. Given the basic quality of the food, which is something you could easily find at the supermarket, the prices felt excessive. On a brighter note, the staff member was friendly and pleasant.

The coffee here is outstanding, and it's a great place to relax. I'll definitely be coming back!

The French toast is outstanding, the salmon and bagel taste amazing, and Linda's service is always wonderful.

The atmosphere is fantastic—warm and vibrant. The eggs Benedict were outstanding, easily some of the best I've had. The coffee was served in mugs, which added a cozy touch that I really appreciated.

The coffee was decent, but nothing extraordinary. I had the eggs Benedict, which were flavorful and perfectly poached. It's impressive that everything is prepared by the owner; she deserves a lot of credit for that!
