This spot was recommended to us by a friend and it did not disappoint in the slightest! It's surprisingly spacious on the inside, and has a very cosy vibe. The ambience is gorgeous, with calm music just at the level where it accents your conversation - I didn't find myself having to raise my voice or struggling to hear my friend at all. There are plenty of options on the menu with both sweet and savoury options and a dedicated vegan menu, as well the pastries/cakes at the counter. They use fairtrade coffee and there is a clear passion for community and the environment. The meals were delicious - I had the 'avocado' which was avocado toast with salad leaves, and a garlic houmus with toasted seeds, kimchi, and halloumi on the side. I also treated myself to a bearclaw which was perfect. There is also a little store inside which has a great variety of books and other products. We ended up speaking to the man working the counter at the store (the owner?) and he was so passionate and lovely to chat with. This place is clearly an absolute boon to the local and wider community

Lovely, friendly atmosphere. The food is always so beautifully presented, with options for all dietary requirements 😊 also our favourite place to buy fresh, high quality coffee beans! The shop inside is always worth a look, they have a very well curated selection of books and other products. Love this cafe! 🥰

Great atmosphere. Nice background music. Lots of big windows so you don't feel trapped in a building. Nice indoor and outdoor seating with some couches as well. Heating keeps the cold out in winter. Hot chocolate was delicious! And Matcha was very smooth. I'd ask for it hotter next time, but otherwise very happy

I recently visited Addington Coffee Co-op and loved the atmosphere. The café was lively but still felt spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax. I tried the maple walnut cinnamon roll and the cream cheese donut. The cinnamon roll had a beautiful nutty flavour from the walnuts and the maple sweetness worked perfectly. The cream cheese donut was rich, creamy and incredibly satisfying. If you enjoy quality pastries and a welcoming café atmosphere, this is definitely a spot worth visiting in Christchurch.
