C1 Espresso in Christchurch, New Zealand

C1 Espresso in Christchurch, New Zealand


Lunch arrives via pneumatic tube here.

After the devastating earthquake in Christchurch in 2011 destroyed this coffee shop’s original location, they found a new home in an unexpected place: the former High Street Post Office building. With its high ceilings and immense windows, this rare architectural jewel is one of the most picturesque spots to grab a coffee anywhere. 

To add to the off-beat charm, diners here can order their lunch via pneumatic tube. Your bratwurst, crinkle-cut fries, or deep-fried banana blossom burger all arrive in a cylinder, just the way the mail one did.

The drink selection is exceptional, featuring single origin beans brewed in a variety of methods. If coffee is less your speed, check out the koko mago, a hot chocolate made with Samoan cacao. Also check out the bathroom, which is hidden behind a false bookcase that moves out of the way when it detects people approaching.
