Gigi's Coffee & Matcha
About
Many note the shop's commitment to quality, describing its matcha as 'the strongest and greenest I have had' in Christchurch (Review 2). The strawberry matcha, while praised for its presentation, does come with a caveat of a strange aftertaste for some (Review 1). Despite this, Gigi's is frequently highlighted for offering the best matcha quality. Guests point to specific items like the strawberry shortcake iced latte (Review 1), the iced maple macadamia matcha (Review 7), and the cinnamon roll latte (Review 9) as standout choices. The atmosphere is described as super creative, perfect for a dreamy matcha date (Review 10). While some find the cup size small for the price (Review 23), others appreciate that it's perfectly priced (Review 23). The service is made with care and passion, and despite occasional lines, regulars make it a weekly ritual. Parking can be an issue, but with careful planning, one can avoid street parking fines. Overall, Gigi's Coffee & Matcha stands out for its matcha quality and positive atmosphere.
