Coffee Lovers Café

Welcome to Coffee Lovers Café, a family-run café located in the heart of Christchurch's iconic New Regent Street. Our coffee offering is built around our partnership with local roaster Underground Coffee, showcasing their best blends across our espresso-based drinks.

In the kitchen, we serve classic New Zealand breakfast and brunch, complemented by fresh cabinet food and lunch options, all made in-house daily. We work closely with local suppliers and source our breads from Grizzly Baked Goods.

"At the end of the day, it's really quite simple: we are here to be nice to people and make great coffee."

Sustainability, inclusivity, and supporting local producers are core to how we operate. As a neighbourhood café, we value long-term relationships and believe in creating a space that reflects the diversity and spirit of our community.

Our Journey

Our Story

The heart behind Coffee Lovers Café

Since 2023

Pooja & Ash's
Vision

Coffee Lovers Café is a family-owned café on New Regent Street, a location that has long played a role in Christchurch's everyday life. Operating from a heritage building, the café carries a sense of history and character that continues to shape the experience we offer today.

Pooja and Ash have proudly owned and operated Coffee Lovers Café since 2023. With strong backgrounds in hospitality, they stepped into a space that has been part of New Regent Street's story for many years, bringing fresh energy while respecting the legacy of the street and the café's place within it.

Their vision was to create a café that feels approachable, consistent, and community-focused — a place where quality coffee, good food, and genuine service come together naturally.

Our team is multicultural and diverse, made up of people from different backgrounds who share the same commitment to excellence. We believe great hospitality is built on teamwork, care, and attention to detail.

We are also incredibly grateful to our customers, who have supported us, shared their experiences, and left amazing reviews. Many of you have become regulars, friends, and even like family. Your trust and loyalty inspire us every day — thank you for being part of the Coffee Lovers Café journey.

Great café. Coffee and hot chocolate were delicious. Food was fantastic — eggs perfectly done. It's also refreshing to find a café that chose the right genre and volume of music. Tables were clean and well serviced.
