A coffee-led cafe at 76 Moorhouse Avenue in Addington, Christchurch, run by Luciano Marcolino, a three-time New Zealand Barista Champion who was born in Brazil and has lived in Christchurch since 1998. The website says the cafe was first in a building further down Moorhouse Avenue and reopened at its current address after the Canterbury earthquakes.
The coffee is the main draw. The kitchen serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, with cafe classics, some newer dishes, daily specials and a cabinet of food. Items mentioned include Brazilian cassava chips, shakshouka, a lasagne, banana and double chocolate cake, and oat porridge. The cafe opens daily from 7am to 4.30pm, except that Saturday and Sunday start at 8am. Open Locally lists 21 other cafes within a kilometre.
