This is a nice cafe in the city. Busy I must say given proximity to council office. Chicken is halal as per the service team. We had a nos of things and they all came out well. Serving size is appropriate to price and comparable to other places. Taste was good too We had chaat masala potato 23$ Omurice rice with chicken 29$ (a bigger serving would certainly help) Double eggs/yolk on a sourdough 14$ (this was too plain) Smoked salmon club champ 27$ (slight variation to eggs bene by using potato base) Waffle savory with chicken 26$ (this ws ok) Smoothies were expensive10.50 each and left quite a bit to be desired. Taste wise nothing special. Long black was fine 5$ Overall this is a good place for breakfast and coffee and certainly liked their variation. There is also cabinet food such as bagels cakes etc..

If you're in Christchurch, Doubles is an absolute must-visit! Hands down, the best café in the city. The selection of gluten-free options is incredible — it’s not just a couple of items; it’s a whole range of delicious choices that cater to every craving. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a sweet treat, they've got it all, and it’s insanely amazing. If you’re a foodie or just someone who appreciates incredible coffee and mouthwatering meals, Doubles Cafe is the spot. I can’t recommend it enough. Every visit is a treat! Yum doesn’t even begin to cover it.

I have heard about this cafe but it wasn’t until today that I ventured down there. I was impressed with the variety of gluten free food available on the menu. Not just a courtesy side option of stale GF toast but the full dish. Let me tell you, when my waffles with crispy chicken arrived my eyes almost fell out. When I put the first bite in my mouth I had to take a moment to control myself. It. Was. Delicious. The waffle with the perfect combination of soft and crispy, pickled onions, maple syrup but then the chicken. A celiac does not often find GF crispy chicken available at cafes. This is the bomb. Chicken so perfectly cooked coated in a gorgeous crispiness. Yes I loved it. Yes I’m going back as there are other options I want to try (GF granola has my name on it!).

Such a pretty cafe with beautiful sunshine! The place looks absolutely amazing, and the location is perfect. The coffee was a bit strong for me, but it paired really well with the sweet French toast. And the French toast was bussin!! Honestly the best I’ve ever had. Also, there’s a bike rack right in front of the cafe, which made it super easy and safe to park my bike

: Delicious cabinet food, wonderful menu options and great drinks. Such good gluten free options here too! Everything we had was very yummy. : Good space with a paid parking lot right across the road. Right near the art gallery, so a great place to get brunch before exploring the city.

One of my favourite places for brunch/lunch! Heaps of gluten-free options in the cabinet and on the menu and everything I’ve tried so far has been delicious. The gf chicken and waffles and the bowls are always a treat
