Café Christchurch
CAFFEINE NATION After a killer cup of joe or a silky smooth latte? We’ve done the rounds to bring you up to date on the city’s café scene, from the latest hotspots bringing some serious international cool through to those with legendary status.
HIP HAUNTS Get a bit of atmosphere and style along with your caffeine fix. There’s plenty on offer for those looking for a side serving of quirk or chic. Hello Sunday’s former Sunday school in Elgin Street in Sydenham houses a multi awardwinning brunch and daytime dining hotspot turning out inspired eats – including some great smashed avos – and seasonal treats. In the city centre, effortless cool prevails at Unknown Chapter Coffee Roasters in St Asaph Street, roasting their own beans and belting out amazing breakfast quesadillas. Sophistication and shared plates abound at
Addington’s Town Tonic in Lincoln Road – this sleek eatery serves up the freshest local fare alongside organic coffee, craft beers and fine wines. Neighbouring Addington Coffee Co-op’s wares come with a side serving of good karma; roasters of Jail Breaker Coffee out of a former mechanic’s workshop, the café is a local fave and the banana bread is the stuff of legend. In Riccarton Road, Park Ranger’s rustic aesthetic and artisan focus has made it a go-to haunt. And channelling seriously quirky cool, the team at Spooky Boogie in Lyttelton combine primo coffee (from neighbouring roaster Lyttelton Coffee Co.), cakes and cookies with local art, collectibles and some mean vinyl.
THE FOUR AVENUES The rejuvenating city centre is pretty much bursting with awesome cafés and crazy good coffee fixings in every direction. Eclectic gourmet
04 — Grain Coffee and Eatery
eatery on the block Good Habit serves up a divine selection of goodies and coffee. Dotted around the CBD, Black & White Coffee Cartel cafés all pair slick fitouts with tasty sweet and savoury offerings, and be sure to tap the caffeinated goodness down at Black & White Origins in the Lichfield Courtyard. In Cathedral Square, discover the sandstone charms of O.G.B – grab a takeaway coffee from the handy Square-side coffee window or kick back and watch the world go by. Nestled among the fine homewares of Ballantynes’ Lichfield Street wing is Kin, an elegant café, deli and wine bar. It’s the perfect place to pause in your next shopping expedition and relax with a primo coffee, tea or even a cheeky glass of vino. Head to Miro, Francesca Voza’s brilliant culinary venture housed in the former Caffe Roma site, sip on their signature breakfast cocktails and enjoy eats from the old-skool-style grill as you kick back in the contemporary cool surrounds. Serving up primo coffee and highly-tempting cabinet food with a shot of banter is Fulla Beanz, a slick café operating in the heart of the city. Moment is a clean and green eatery that can cater to any dietary requirement or preference. Need a serious fix? Head to Espresso Studio by Fushoken, at Riverside Market, for a standard triple-shot espresso – you’ll see why it’s a favourite not only with coffee lovers but with professional baristas as well. Also at Riverside Market, as well as in Sumner and St Asaph Street, you’ll find Bohemian Bakery. While rightly famous
