About the Business
Welcome to Procope Coffee House, a charming cafe located at 165 Victoria Street in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our establishment is not just a cafe, but also a point of interest and a restaurant, offering delicious food in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The history of Procope Coffee House dates back to 1686 when the very first French cafe, 'Le Procope', opened its doors in Paris. Named after its owner, Francesco Procopio de Coltelli, the cafe quickly became a popular spot for artists and comedians from the nearby Comedy Francasie, the national theatre of France. Even during the turbulent times of the French Revolution, influential figures such as Danton, Marat, Robespierre, and Benjamin Franklin frequented Le Procope for conspiratorial discussions and fine-tuning the American Constitution.
In 1990, Hummingbird Coffee was founded and began roasting their coffee beans at 165 Victoria Street, before relocating to their current site in Addington. However, in April 2013, a new chapter in the Procope story began with the opening of our cafe in Fendalton. It was a temporary home while we awaited the fate of our beloved Victoria Street building.
After extensive repairs and renovation, we were thrilled to return to our original Victoria Street site in August 2014. We sold our Fendalton cafe in December 2016 to focus on our Victoria Street location, and we are grateful for the loyalty of our customers who stuck by us during those challenging years.
At Procope Coffee House, we offer more than just great coffee. From your first early morning caffeine hit to the final call for drinks, we provide a range of retail items and pampering services for you to enjoy. Whether you are a local or a visitor to our beautiful city, we invite you to discover what makes Victoria Street and its surroundings one of Christchurch's most unique and vibrant destinations.
Conveniently situated at the northern end of Victoria Street, we are only 15 minutes away from Christchurch Airport. We provide free on-site parking, free WiFi, and even have a private meeting room available for your convenience.
Join us at Procope Coffee House and experience the rich history, delicious food, and warm hospitality that make us one of the top destinations in Christchurch.

Reviews
"Brunch on Sunday! Came in, the host wasn't overly welcoming, I had to ask if we could sit anywhere and pick up my own menu. We ordered coffee and drank that while we looked over the menu. The menu itself had a fantastic range and while I would usually choose something sweet both me and my hubby chose the big breakfast. Our meals came in a very reasonable time and they were WOW! Great quality sausages from Cashmere Cuisine, two different types of toast and without a word of a lie the best mushrooms I have tasted as well as the usual big breakfast fare (compliments to the chef). Overall, good coffee, great food and free parking up the side, which I wish we knew before we paid $5 on the street! We will come back, even just for a takeaway coffee."
"I was looking for a place to have breakfast on my way to a conference and went past this cafe. It looked so cozy from the outside that I went in. I had the pancakes with berries and they looked and tasted delicious. It was just to die for and the coffee was amazing too. Highly recommend."
"Great coffee. Good and hot unlike the other luke warm cups some cafes serve up. I had the sourdough crumpets which were very good, but I would have liked maybe a different spread choice. My husband had the porridge and loved it. The others at our table had scrambled eggs, etc made to their orders. Would definitely return."
"Tasty breakfast! Among the best pancakes I had."
