Majestic Cafe - Barrington sits inside Barrington Mall on Barrington Street in Spreydon, Christchurch, and is part of the Majestic Tea Bar group. Its 4.5 Google rating suggests it has found favour with shoppers and locals alike.
A good suburban cafe lives and dies by its cabinet: the slices, filled rolls and salads are made fresh, and regulars know to come early before the best picks are gone. In a shopping centre the appeal is convenience, a proper flat white and something to eat without breaking off from the errands, though the mid-morning and lunchtime rushes can mean a short wait for a table. Tea drinkers should expect the leaf to get the same care as coffee these days, properly brewed rather than an afterthought.
For Spreydon locals and Barrington Mall shoppers, a well-rated cafe right in the heart of the centre is a handy place to stop.
