love, love, love!!

amazing all vegan cafe!! i had the breakfast burger and an iced latte. i stayed to work on some travel plans and upload pictures from my road trip and ended up ordering a mixed berry smoothie as well. all of it was super tasty and the smoothie was so refreshing! the atmosphere is great and they have a little table of fresh food/vegan treats/reusable strays and coffee cups, thought that was a great touch to the type of cafe they are (:

My favourite place in CHCH!

I go to Portershed probably twice a week, it’s my absolute favourite. Because the cafe is entirely plant-based, there are SO many options for whatever you’re craving. The prices are good considering the amazing quality of the food. The staff are really friendly and the coffee is pretty good too. The atmosphere of the cafe is really nice, homey and cosy. They also have other products on sale, like reusable straws, oils, vegan chocolates etc.

Pros: Everything is vegan! , Environmentally conscious business

Cons: Sometimes busy and not much space

Always amazing ❤️🌱

I’ve been to Portershed about 3 times now, I would come more often if it was open on sundays! In saying that every time I have been it’s been absolutely amazing. Last week I got the corn fritters and it was such a beautiful and yummy dish. We also got fries which are the best I’ve ever had! I also love how they sell a range of vegan goodies to use at home and I even picked up a gorgeous metal straw for my smoothies which is so cool!!! Yummy milkshakes and smoothies too 👌🏻 I love it 💕

Pros: A fully VEGAN cafe. So many options., Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. , Delicious food. Lots of variety and flavour.

What a find! Happy Cow led me here and it became my daily coffee fix whilst in Christchurch.
You are greeted with smiles from all staff, the place is clean and warm, both the coffee and the food comes well presented and tastes as good as it looks.

Pros: Great vegan pies!, Excellent coffee, Warm and Quirky ambiance

Cons: Could offer wifi

Amazing

Cozy, comfy, warm atmosphere, super friendly staff and obviously delicious food and coffee! This place is always packed (in a good way) when we go, it's the kind of place you'd want to spend hours chatting with friends while enjoying a hot drink and some all vegan hearty food. Congrats to the owner and all the staff!

Pros: All vegan and delicious, Warm and cozy, Friendly staff

Really cozy place

This place is amazing. They have a beautiful and comfortable interior with nice furniture (I love sitting on the couches). They serve delicious hot chocolates with all kind of “milks”. The food is also really yummy (especially the breakfast). I recommend also bringing your own lunch box if you’re in a hurry and have your food to take away ! When I bring mine I didn’t had the chance to wash out the food from before but they were happy to do that and fill it with their food.

Pros: Really cozy, Everything vegan , Great atmosphere

Delicious!

We are so full from trying to fit as many vegan meals and treats from the Pottershed into our few days in Christchurch as possible! If you’re in the area, you HAVE to try it 😋

Amazing Vegan Cafe/Bakery

This place is incredible, the menu is so unique. A great opportunity to try vegan versions of classic NZ food as well as their own creations. The problem we had was that we stopped on the way to the airport so we grabbed lots of great stuff that would travel well. I wish we had the opportunity to try more of their hot items. Someone else called it an epic range of vegan options, they are right on. The staff is so nice and friendly. It is the kind of place you are so happy to give your business to.

Pros: Menu, Food, Staff

lovely place

We were looking forward to this place after driving from Hokitika and starving! Unfortunately the kitchen just closed, though it was about 2:30pm. Still the selection from the case and the desserts were amazing! Still worth the drive. I had a mushroom tofu pie and my husband had the chimichanga. Both were so Ono and so glad 100% vegan.

Pros: cute place , delicious , friendly

AMAZING SELECTION

You HAVE to stop by Portershed if you're in christchurch. We had the best vegan burger ever, jackfruit sloppy joe. Then a custard cream donut and a double chocolate brownie from the extensive selection of desserts.

Pros: 100% vegan. , super friendly staff, lots of ingredients grown in their garden

Cons: there isn't a Portershed in every city

Exceptional

We arrived too late for their menu so ended up having bean filo things with some salad and sweet treats 😉. Flavours were lovely, staff friendly, and they have a huge range of nice looking drinks (saw this too late too try any)

Awesome!

Great staff, cosy armchairs, and what very easily could be the best burger I've had in my life! Excellent atmosphere to just chill out for a bit. Definitely worth the short bus ride from the city centre. This place absolutely makes the list of must do's in Christchurch.

Pros: Amazing staff, Incredible food, Comfortable seating

Cons: Location

Simply awesome!

We had burger from the kitchen and a sammi from the cabinet, served with the best chips I've had in my life. Delicious iced coffee with macadamia and sunflower nut milk(?!). Desserts looked good but I was too full. Price appropriate, service friendly, cool decor.

Pros: All vegan :D, Best chips I've eaten maybe ever

Perfectly Sweet

What a gem of a place in a lackluster neighborhood. The menu is short but sweet and the staff is cheerful and friendly. I went for breakfast and take-away lunch on two separate locations. Excellent coffee and several nut mylk options including their own macadamia, watermelon seed mix. They have a breakfast and lunch menu plus a full counter of breakfast pastries and take-always for lunch. They also carry a small sample of market goodies like Dandies, homemade relish, nooch and some mixed bags of sweets (Swedish fish, Turkish Delight, Smarties, etc.).

Pros: delicious, friendly, all vegan

Cons: location
