The Herb Centre; This dreamy place is composed of a delightful corner cafe that serves primarily vegetarian treats (there's just one single meat-eating option in the menus...) in addition to 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, situated on Kilmore St, is fittingly restful, with hardwood floors, substantial, exposed windows which bathe the place in angelic light, and also the relaxing perfumes of lavender and patchouli. You'll find it remarkably unique (peep the adorable as pictures of dancing eggs around the chalkboard wall menus!) plus the foods are fresh and great, try the GF, dairy free Winter Root Vegetable Cake, it absolutely was a winner within my partly vegetarian family. Come the summer season, I reckon the backyard shall be brimming with revellers seeking a tranquil location to de-stress having a mug as well as a socially sensitive slice.
Addington Coffee Co-op; Located on Lincoln Rd, central to Addington village, Addington Coffee Co-op is a quaintly opulent, 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 type of individual whose living room provides a pitch-perfect level of understated kitsch and the most impacting 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
So, in conclusion: the coffee is great, the environment is perfect in addition their business practices are morally righteous. Need I say more?
