Wow, what a great idea! Always busy, and with a life of its own, our cafe has a reputation for superb coffee and appetizing food, all made on the premises, fresh every day."

… This is how it started. It's still the same, but with a little twist since EQ2: temporarily we're open and meeting your need for good coffee out of a cosy shed.

Our skilled and happy team will serve your latte or cappuccino made with freshly roasted and ground L'Affare beans; or how about one of our legendary date scones that people cross town for. We also offer breakfast to order, have a new mini lunch menu to eat in at our maxi shed at one of our 4 tables, or sit outside in the sun in the carpark among a few new hills.

If there's no room, or you're on your way out, grab a takeaway.
Text us on 027 44 55 775 and we'll have your order piping hot and waiting.

In the near indefinite future we're planning to build our new café on the old spot.
Bigger and nicer, and just as delicious, so it'll lure the entire eastern population of Christchurch. You'll see!
But for now, we've seen the wrecker's ball. (No, that's not a dance where the dress code is hard hats and steel-cap boots, though that might be more fun!)

In the meantime Derek and the team are staying connected with our customers and delivering familiar fantastic service. Swipe your C&C coffee card and have a lovely chat with us! We'd love to see you.
