Little Battersea is a chill Sydenham coffee and shopping spot, nestled inside the gift and homewares store Addy and Lou on Battersea Street, just outside the Christchurch city centre.
The cafe pours really good coffee from Flight Coffee, crafted by baristas using a house blend described as sweet, bright and juicy like a long black, yet smooth and rich like a jersey caramel with milk. Alongside coffee, Little Battersea serves exceptional ceremony-grade matcha and fun specialty drinks, pastries from Bellbird and Grizzly, weekend donuts, and delicious cabinet food for breakfast and lunch.
Little Battersea sits alongside clothing shop Lenton and A Little Bit Floral, so there's plenty to browse while you sip. The cafe has a friendly team, its own carpark, and is proudly dog friendly.
Tucked inside the gift and homewares store Addy and Lou on Battersea Street, Little Battersea has become a favourite chill coffee and shopping spot in Sydenham, just outside Christchurch's city centre.
At the heart of Little Battersea is really good coffee from Flight Coffee. The cafe's baristas craft standard coffees using a house blend described as sweet, bright and juicy like a long black, yet smooth and rich like a jersey caramel when made with milk. Beyond the standard coffee list, Little Battersea also pours exceptional ceremony-grade matcha and fun specialty drinks, including a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte that customers have singled out as made to perfection.
On the food side, Little Battersea stocks pastries from Bellbird and Grizzly, brings out weekend donuts, and offers delicious cabinet food for breakfast and lunch - the kind of easy, grab-and-go options that suit a quick coffee stop or a slower browse.
One of the things that sets Little Battersea apart is its setting.
