Absolutely gutted for the owners. That place was a Lyttelton icon. Hope they bounce back. 💔

nah, insurance companies will find a way to weasel out. Seen it too many times.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-22T00:02:45.000Z

ffs, another local business gone. This country's a joke for small biz owners. Insurance better pay out.

Alex Rivera2026-06-22T00:50:45.000Z

stuffed. That place meant a lot to ppl.

What a load of shit. Probably some idiot with a dodgy grow lamp downstairs.

cope. It's a mushroom cafe not a cathedral. They'll be right.

Lunchtime and hearing this on the news. That's my post-work pint spot gone. Bloody tragic.

So sad. I had my first date there. The mushroom risotto was amazing. Hope they rebuild.

Does anyone know what caused it? Heard the fire service was slow out of Lyttelton tunnel again?

Blake Turner2026-06-22T01:54:45.000Z

they did their best. Tunnel was a nightmare. Don't start blaming firies.

Community will rally round. Lyttelton always looks after its own. Watch this space.
