Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I am Italian and for me, espresso coffee is very important, I have been in this place with my son and my wife, and we had two espressos and one cortado, well in the last ten years never i had an espresso made so bad...and the same for a cortado . A few days after I met some Italians and i told them about my experience at Coast Coffee, and they had the same problem. So if I want an espresso to avoid Coast CoffeeMore

Delicious breakfast at this local cafe in the heart of Christchurch. Couldn’t fault it. There were lots of sweet treats available too which looked delicious but unfortunately we didn’t get chance to try

I popped into Coast Coffee for something hot and tasty today as it is so cold outside. The menu had lots to choose from and I opted for the Chicken Noodle Soup. The service was quick and friendly and the soup came out promptly and...steaming hot :) The icing on the cake was simply that the soup was DELICIOUS! It certainly hit the spot with warming me up for the afternoon!More

Been to Christchurch today with my father who’s disabled. Walked into cafe at 3:15 and floors already being cleaned. I asked if they were closing and was told no, but the free tables had chairs stacked up so we couldn’t sit down and we weren’t...offered a table despite standing there keen to sit down. At 4:03 I walked back in the cafe to grab a takeaway coffee, to overhear a staff member say to the girl who was still cleaning ‘tell her we’re closed now’… I said that I was hoping for a takeaway drink and they said no, we’re closed. I just found this strange as online the cafe is advertised as being open until 4:30pm. This is the second time I’ve received really poor service at this cafe and I’ll never go back. It really felt like the staff couldn’t wait to get out of there and the customer service deserves a zero rating. It’s a shame as they sell Bad Hand coffee!More

Nice place , first time been in there. Had a raffle ticket for a charity and won £5.00. Had a coffee and cake came to £5.88, so only paid 88p. Seemed very popular with families, treat for the children after school.

What a little find. Family run, dog friendly coffee and sandwiches galore. Service you can’t falter. Gluten free bread and the New York deli bagel was simply the best I’ve had. Excellent for kids option as well. 5 stars well deserved!

Popped in for a quick lunch and a coffee and was not disappointed. My husband had a bacon and brie panini and stated it was the best panini he had ever had. I had a cornation chicken sandwich. Both really generous portions and lots of...filling! Also had a latte too which was lovely. Staff were happy to help and very friendly.More

Popped in for a quick lunch. Have often been in for a morning coffee but never had lunch there. I had the Welsh rarebit which was terrific. Came with a salad garnish and chutney. My wife had salmon on avocado toast. She said that was...superb and a generous portion. Coffee was good too, as it always is and the service is brilliant.More
