Unknown Chapter is a specialty coffee roaster with a cafe on High Street in the Christchurch central city, and its look is a bookish one. The coffee is roasted in-house and served as single-origin pour-overs, and the pastries are a draw too. Visitors often order the french toast, avocado toast and eggs benedict, and the website says there is outdoor seating.
The cafe is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 4pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 3pm. Open Locally lists 24 other cafes within a kilometre, and the nearest are C1 Espresso and Child Sister, both 0.1 km away, followed by Foundation Coffee and Rook Cafe at 0.2 km. Child Sister has 4.4 from 876 reviews, and Rook Cafe has 4.7 from 140. Customers say it is a good breakfast spot and an easy, unhurried place for a meal. One Sunday brunch visit was packed, with a wait of about ten minutes for a table.
