The Developing Christchurch Cafe Scene

By Daniel Hogan


The cafe picture in Christchurch changed substantially in the year 2011. What at one time existed as a defined city centre with cafes, eateries and retailers, now Christchurch has witnessed its cafes dispersed around the community drawing inhabitants and visitors to pretty much all sections of the city. It is just the thing for the suburbanisation of Christchurch as a number of suburbs had been lacking developed areas of local independently owned stores and cafes. Visitors and locals are still spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing the best place to eat.

But not only are eateries showing up on the borders of the city, cafes at the heart of Christchurch are making a come back. Together with the opening of the city mall (that's where you can find three Christchurch coffee shops) and the re-opening of C1, a Christchurch caf institution, everything is looking good for the central city Christchurch cafe scene.

People of Christchurch are enthusiastic about cafes and their coffee. In fact we have seen a coffee revolution over the last number of years. As a consequence of this heightened popularity, the quantity of cafes and eateries have significantly increased and coffee consumers are becoming fairly picky with where they're going to have their hot beverage of preference. You will find many types of coffees to choose from in the local cafes. What's more, consumers also have a selection of cup sizes, kind of milk and number of espresso shots. Christchurch baristas often take the New Zealand top barista award which is handed out annually, and then there are several schools where barista beginners can go to learn to get the best espresso.

With regards to what you should expect at a Christchurch cafe ... well it's a mixed bag. There are plenty of cafes within the city all with their unique identity and style. What is terrific about the caf scene is that you will definitely discover a cafe that suits you. Additionally, cafes are showing up throughout the city practically each week.

If you're looking for a unique cafe Christchurch is the perfect city. Many cafes in Christchurch have re-opened in their previous spot or have opened inside of a short-term pop-up position or have moved to an entirely new site. Additionally, it is good to hear that numerous guidebooks are still encouraging tourists to travel to Christchurch while in New Zealand, particularly due to the amount of stores and cafes which are open.

The foodstuffs in cafes in Christchurch is normally viewable in glass units and you normally have a wonderful choice of food from which to choose (including a blackboard menu that showcases the daily specials). Many cafes prefer to roast their very own beans, doing this they have total control over the final product (the cup of coffee).
