“ Being a lover of French cuisine, this place is my go to for breakfast when staying in Akaroa. Freshly baked croissants straight out of the oven at 7am. Fantastic flat white and butter and jam with our croissants. Pull up a seat outside and enjoy your breakfast while watching the start of the day unfold on the harbour. Stunning views! Soooo relaxing ”
