Run by Monique
Sharing fun things to do and eat in CHCH My love of food started when I moved to Melbourne, Australia.

I talked about food, I dreamt about food, I took photos of my food and I ate A LOT of food. A foodie was born.....
I moved to Christchurch, New Zealand in 2016 and want to showcase all the amazing eateries and food products. As a Digital Marketing Manager by day I know how powerful Social Media is to grow your business. If you want to collaborate then get in touch!

We all know and love The Great Pastry Shop but have you been to Okioki by Great Pastry Co. ? 🥐☕

Created by the talented mother-daughter duo, Rhiannon and Elsie, Okioki by Great Pastry Co. by Great Pastry Co is their beautiful space where you can slow down and enjoy a huge range of pastries, cookies, pies, specialty coffee, sandwiches and more.

The space is warm, welcoming, dog friendly, and perfect for a long overdue catch up with a friend.

Insider tip: get the Korean garlic bread. We were lucky enough to get it fresh out the oven and it is something I still think about. Also highly recommend the lemon poppy seed knot which is filled with custard.

Located at 177 Victoria Street.
