The Uprising Cafe – A truly unique experience

Enjoy a delicious snack or drink and take in the action from the best seat in the house: our mezzanine dining area.

The cafe daytime menu includes a range of healthy and delicious salads and sandwiches, super smoothies, and amazing coffee by local legends Rad Roasting Co.

Evenings are all about our legendary après-climb pizza and beer menu.

The Uprising Cafe strives to locally source food and ingredients where possible. We’re proud to offer salads by Thrive Catering, a Christchurch City Mission social enterprise which provides learning experiences, jobs and a brighter future to people facing hard times.

Our tap beer is supplied by our mates at Two Thumb Brewing Co. Plus we have regular guest brews from a range of NZ craft brewers, and an ever-changing selection of craft beer by the bottle & can.

Rad Roasting Co

We’re now proudly brewing with Rad Roasting Co beans! Being a local community hub for climbers and yogis, we really want to focus on supporting small businesses on our doorstep where we can.

Rad are a small but mighty micro-roastery just down the road from Uprising, passionate about what they do in their mission to fuel both coffee lovers and thrill seekers. It was a perfect match, and we’re stoked to be serving up their Hang 10 blend!

Relax and take in the view on our mezzanine amongst the boulders as our baristas craft your favourite coffee.
