Check out these Cafes in Christchurch

By Daniel Hogan

The Herb Centre; This wonderful location is made up of a sweet corner cafe that provides generally veggie goodies (you can find a single carnivorous choice in the selection...) together with brews the New Zealand Coffee Awards 2009-10 Gold Award winning, New Brighton-based Switch Espresso.

Additionally, it is an impressively stocked dispensary/ health retailer that includes a range of nutritional supplements, organic body goods and every essential oil under the rainbow, a backyard garden plus a clinic that provides midwifery services, alternative addiction remedy, and herbal and naturopathic treatments. Phew. It's basically the only one-stop-shop for the granola sect in the complete city (that we know, anyway...if your company is one, also, please email us!). It is an alternative style cafe Christchurch should really be pleased with!

The space, located on Kilmore St, is fittingly restful, utilizing hardwood floors, large, uncovered windows that shower the spot in heavenly light, as well as the calming perfumes of lavender and patchouli. It really is remarkably exceptional (check out the lovable as pictures of grooving eggs on the chalkboard wall menu!) and the food is fresh and very good, try the GF, DF Wintertime Root Vegetable Cake, it absolutely was a winner in my partly vegetarian home. Come summer season, I reckon the garden is going to be filled with revellers searching for a serene area to unwind with a cup and a socially sensitive slice.

Addington Coffee Co-op; Located on Lincoln Rd, essential to Addington village, Addington Coffee Co-op is a quaintly deluxe, all-natural light filled cafe and roastery that spins Blondie, roasts and peddles their very own brand of Fair Trade (and DELICIOUS) coffee and feels like your living room (if you're the person whose living room includes a pitch-perfect volume of delicate kitsch along with the most influencing ambience on the block).

The company, situated inside of a large ex- mechanics workshop, used 9 months to make their own and earthquake proof (that has been opportune!) which is stuffed to the top during all times of the day having an eclectic mixture of vibrant neo-hipsters, chatty stay-at-home-mums and extravagant looking suits in search of an inviting spot for a lunchtime meeting as well as a high quality, freshly crafted slice, pastry or sandwich. Along with awesome cool and sensitive using of Fair Trade coffee, in addition, they offer "organic threads" created by survivors from the sex-trade in Calcutta

Consequently, to recap: their coffee is fabulous, its furnishings is flawless in addition their business techniques are morally righteous. Need I say more?
