Places to go in Christchurch

By Daniel Hogan


The cafe scene in Christchurch transformed significantly in the year 2011. What once existed as a defined city centre with cafes, eateries and stores, now Christchurch has seen its cafes scattered throughout the metropolis tempting inhabitants and visitors to almost all areas in the city. It is just the thing for the suburbanisation of Christchurch as many regions had been lacking developed areas of local independently owned stores and cafes. Visitors and residents are still spoiled for choice with regards to figuring out the best place to eat.

Not simply are cafes popping up around the outskirts of the city, cafes at the heart of Christchurch are generating a come back. With the opening up of the city mall (that's the place to find three Christchurch cafes) along with the re-opening of C1, a Christchurch caf institution, everything's looking great for the central city Christchurch cafe scene.

People of Christchurch are passionate about cafes along with their coffee. The fact is there has been somewhat of a coffee revolution during the last few years. As a result of this increased popularity, the number of cafes and eateries have greatly increased and coffee drinkers have grown to be rather fussy with where they're going to obtain their hot beverage of preference. You will find a large number of kinds of coffees to select from in the local cafes. What's more, shoppers in addition have a choice of cup sizes, sort of milk and number of espresso shots. Christchurch baristas often take the New Zealand top barista award which is handed out annually, there are many schools in which barista beginners can go to discover how to get the best espresso.

In terms of what you should expect at a Christchurch cafe well this can be a mixed bag. There are a number of cafes in the city with their own personality and style. What is excellent about the caf scene is that you are sure to discover a cafe that best suits you. Additionally, cafes are popping up throughout the city nearly weekly.

Should you be looking for a unique cafe Christchurch is the ideal city. A lot of cafes in Christchurch have re-opened in their original spot or have opened in a temporary pop-up position or have moved to a fully new site. It is also wonderful to hear that many guidebooks are still encouraging tourists to visit Christchurch whilst in New Zealand, especially due to the quantity of stores and cafes that are open.

The food in cafes in Christchurch is often shown in glass cabinets and you normally have a wonderful choice of food from which to choose (together with a blackboard menu that showcases the daily deals). Several cafes prefer to roast their own beans, that way they have got complete control of the final product (the cup of coffee).
