The Herb Centre; This wonderful location is composed of an adorable corner cafe that provides mainly vegetarian snacks (there is merely one carnivorous option on 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 remarkably stocked dispensary/ health shop that carries a range of natural supplements, organic body products and every essential oil possible, an outside garden along with a practice that delivers midwifery services, natural addiction remedy, and herbal and naturopathic medicine. Phew. It really is basically the only one-stop-shop for the granola sect within the entire city (that we know, anyway…should your business is one, also, make sure you let us know!). It’s an alternative style cafe Christchurch ought to be pleased with!

The space, found on Kilmore St, is fittingly peaceful, having hardwood floors, substantial, uncovered windows which shower the spot in airy light, and the tranquilizing scents of lavender and patchouli. It really is remarkably exceptional (check out the sweet as drawings of dancing eggs on the blackboard wall menus!) and the meals are fresh and great, try the GF, DF Winter season Root Vegetable Cake, it absolutely was a success in my partially vegetarian household. Come summertime, I reckon the backyard is going to be full of revellers in search of a restful location to relax having a mug as well as a socially conscious slice.

Addington Coffee Co-op; Situated on Lincoln Rd, central to Addington village, Addington Coffee Co-op is a quaintly luxurious, natural light filled cafe and roastery that spins Blondie, roasts and peddles their very own brand of Fair Trade (and DELICIOUS) coffee and seems like your living room (if you’re the kind of individual whose living room includes a pitch-perfect quantity of subtle kitsch along with the most influencing atmosphere in the area).

The business, housed within a sizeable previous mechanics work shop, required 9 months to make their own and earth quake proof (that was fortuitous!) and it is jam-packed to the brim during all hours having an modern mix of fresh neo-hipsters, chatty stay-at-home-mums and expensive looking suits seeking out a comfortable spot for a lunch time meeting along with a top quality, newly produced slice, pastry or sandwich. Together with their very cool and sensitive using of Fair Trade coffee, furthermore they offer for sale “organic threads” created by survivors from the sex-trade in Calcutta

So, to recap: their coffee is great, their decor is outstanding and their company practices are morally righteous. Need I say more?
