About this space
Gentle Giant Cafe is a small, well-loved spot on Ferry Road in Waltham, just minutes from the Christchurch CBD. It boasts an industrial feel complemented by a warm, cosy atmosphere and eye-catching art on the walls, creating a unique and inviting space. The cafe is renowned for its excellent coffee, strong chai, and a legendary cabinet that keeps people coming back.
The kitchen excels at brunch, serving up generous portions of crowd-pleasers like kimchi toasties, French toast, and classic eggs benedict, with great gluten-free options available. This reputation for delicious, fast service makes it ideal for events where quality catering is key. Imagine having this fantastic food and drink all to yourselves.
Gentle Giant Cafe, typically buzzing from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 3 pm on weekends, transforms into your exclusive venue outside these hours. It’s a natural fit for a birthday celebration, a focused workshop, an intimate supper club, a lively book club gathering, or a small private dinner. With the popular cabinet and coffee machine right there in the room, everything you need for a memorable private event is at your fingertips.
