C1 Espresso

C1 Espresso cafeoftheyear.co.nz. Vouchers: https://www.c1store.co.nz Following the quakes of 2011, C1 Espresso rebuilt in the heart of Christchurch's High Street.

Re-established in the iconic High Street Post Office, once more we are serving up our unique brand of pioneering espresso & big breakfasts. It's the same (but different) warm, welcoming atmosphere, with the same (but different) professional staff. We worked hard to make sure that there are a few surprises too, with a bit of the old C1 thrown in with the new. We re-opened on 3 January 2020, under new ownership. We appreciate all your support and patience, and hope to see you all soon.
