The Christchurch outpost of a Wellington specialty coffee roaster, on Welles Street in the central city. The fit-out is minimalist. The cafe is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 3pm and on Saturday from 8am to 2pm, and it is closed on Sundays. Customers mention the peach toast, the free sparkling water, and the scones, cinnamon scrolls and cheese scones. Some say it is a good stop after a run, with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.
Some customers buy the beans for home, and they mention the merchandise too. Not everyone is convinced. One customer says the cafe feels a little tired and found the coffee prices hard to justify.
