"I love this cafe! The service is brilliant, friendly and welcoming. I can do my work here whilst enjoying my chai tea, or enjoy my husband's company with a full plate of beautiful food, and especially meet my new buddies Steve and Merv over a piece of delicious cake . I have noticed a new staff member, Navaea is her name.. she is the most considerate waitress I have ever encountered. Very informative with ingredients, processes, and especially when she needs to use the vacuum (close to closing) she asked if we would mind the noise. Very kind of her, God bless the staff at Mosaic Cafe."

"Been about 5-6 times now. Iced chocolate is one of the best in Christchurch. I've only tried the cabinet food but all of it has been very tasty and well made. Savoury muffins are better than most others I've tried elsewhere. Can get a bit noisy but much quieter than the mall."

"Great feeling modern Cafe, feels like a independent coffee culture, but now upper class. Solid menu & coffee, and good quick service! Supports entertainment voucher at date of posting. Edit: We enjoyed our first visit so much we came back! The fruit today was cheap and tasty and the whitebait fritters were an absolute treat! The iced mocha is the best I've ever had. No joke."
