The Herb Centre; This relaxing place is made of an adorable corner cafe that serves generally vegetarian snacks (you will find just one single carnivorous choice in the menu...) as well as brews the New Zealand Coffee Awards 2009-10 Gold Award winning, New Brighton-based Switch Espresso.

It is additionally an amazingly stocked dispensary/ health store that provides numerous nutritional supplements, organic body goods and every essential oil conceivable, a backyard garden plus a health care clinic that delivers midwifery services, holistic addiction treatment solution, and herbal and naturopathic medicine. Phew. It is really fundamentally the only one-stop-shop for the granola sect in the complete city (that we are aware of, anyway...if your organization is one, also, make sure you e-mail us!). It's an alternative style cafe Christchurch should really be satisfied with!

The place, located on Kilmore St, is fittingly peaceful, with hardwood floors, large, uncovered windows which shower the area in ethereal light, along with the calming smells of lavender and patchouli. It truly is perfectly quirky (look the cute as drawings of grooving eggs around the chalkboard wall menu!) plus the meals are fresh and fantastic, try the gluten free, DF Winter Root Vegetable Cake, it was a winner with my moderately vegetarian family. Come the summer time, I reckon the backyard shall be filled with revellers trying to find a tranquil area to relax having a cup along with a socially aware slice.

Addington Coffee Co-op; Situated on Lincoln Rd, central to Addington village, Addington Coffee Co-op is a quaintly first-rate, all-natural light filled cafe and roastery that spins Blondie, roasts and peddles their own brand of Fair Trade (and DELICIOUS) coffee and seems like your living room (if you're the kind of individual whose living room features a pitch-perfect quantity of refined kitsch and also the most influencing ambience in the area).

The business, located inside a big ex- mechanics work shop, used 9 months to make their own as well as quake proof (that's lucky!) and it is jam-packed to the brim during all times of the day with an assorted combination of young neo-hipsters, chatty stay-at-home-mums and extravagant looking suits attempting to get a comfortable position for a lunch break discussion along with a good quality, recently crafted slice, pastry or sandwich. In addition to their awesome cool and informed utilization of Fair Trade coffee, in addition, they promote "organic threads" manufactured by survivors of the sex-trade in Calcutta

Consequently, to recap: its coffee is fantastic, the design is outstanding and their company techniques are morally righteous. Need I say more?
