A pocket-sized ethical and eco goods shop tucked into the corner of the Addington Coffee Co-op on Lincoln Road in Addington, Christchurch. The Addington Store is at 297 Lincoln Road. It stocks ethical, local, fair trade and eco goods, including wooden bowls, ceramics, wooden toys, children's and educational books, humanitarian books, reusable bags and totes, leather wallets, soaps and face cream. The website says the store redistributes its profits to communities in Kolkata that have been damaged by human trafficking and extreme poverty. Goods can also be bought online.
The store began in 2011, after the Christchurch earthquakes, when the office next to the café was opened up. Reviewers praise the coffee, the atmosphere and the friendly staff, and say the décor and the breakfast and lunch food are good. One online buyer says a set of measuring spoons exceeded their expectations for quality, with quick delivery.
