This wonderful location consists of an adorable corner cafe that serves mainly vegetarian treats (there is just one carnivorous option on the menus...) in addition to brews the New Zealand Coffee Awards 2009-10 Gold Award winning, New Brighton-based Switch Espresso.

Additionally it is an remarkably stocked dispensary/ health retailer that holds a variety of nutritional supplements, organic body products and every essential oil you can possibly imagine, a patio garden together with a medical center that delivers midwifery services, holistic addiction treatment solution, and herbal and naturopathic medication. Phew. It is really fundamentally the only one-stop-shop for the granola sect within the entire city (that we know about, anyway...in case your business is one, as well, you should let us know!). This is a alternative style cafe Christchurch ought to be satisfied with!

Christchurch Cafe The Herb Centre

The space, situated on Kilmore St, is fittingly tranquil, utilizing hardwood flooring, significant, uncovered windows which bathe the spot in airy light, along with the tranquilizing smells of lavender and patchouli. It truly is incredibly exceptional (check out the lovable as sketches of dancing eggs around the chalkboard wall menus!) and the food is fresh and superb, try the GF, DF Winter season Root Veggie Cake, it turned out a hit around my partially vegetarian home. Come the summer season, I reckon the backyard will probably be brimming with revellers in search of a quiet area to unwind having a mug as well as a socially conscious slice.
