About

Choose Civil Servant Cafe for a coffee shop or café in South Island. It occupies 53 Hereford Street, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8013, in the middle of the central grid.

Visitors have pushed the rating to 4.9 out of 5, a near-perfect figure drawn from 8 reviews. The café runs Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 15:00, so it opens early and closes mid-afternoon on weekdays. Coffee and café food are what the counter provides, with a restaurant kitchen behind it turning out meals as well. Christchurch is the home city, and Queenstown, Dunedin and Nelson sit among the other nearby places.

New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so layers work well on any given day. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
