Lux Espresso
Welcome to Lux Espresso, a charming cafe located at 66 Gloucester Street in the heart of Christchurch Central City, New Zealand. This inviting spot is not just a coffee stop, but a community hub where great taste meets a relaxed atmosphere.
At Lux Espresso, coffee isn't just a beverage; it's an experience. Renowned for their expertly crafted brews, the cafe prides itself on serving excellent coffee using Allpress beans. Whether you're in the mood for a robust Flat White or a smooth, double shot, the baristas here are dedicated to delivering a cup of liquid gold every time. As customer Bruce InCharlotte noted, it’s the go-to coffee shop for museum-goers, making it a perfect pit-stop when visiting the nearby Canterbury Museum or the Center for Contemporary Art.
Complement your coffee with some delicious food offerings. Guests rave about the scrumptious eggie toasty and the delightful blueberry and white chocolate muffin, which perfectly combines a hint of sweetness with rich flavors. If you're in the mood for something savory, the cheese and herbs scones come highly recommended, providing a warm, comforting addition to your coffee break. As Maria Inés Labadie suggested, though, a few more vegetarian options would enhance their already impressive menu—something to look forward to on your next visit!
The ambiance at Lux Espresso is a delightful mix of comfort and style, with a cozy indoor space complemented by inviting outdoor seating. It's an ideal setting for catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time with a book. As guest Keer Zhang discovered, even a cloudy day can turn bright with a heartwarming cup of coffee in hand. And with free WiFi available, you can comfortably settle in for a productive morning or an afternoon escape.
Lux Espresso has everything you need for a delightful cafe experience. With its great coffee, tasty food, and friendly service, it’s a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. As Jacque De Vincenzo put it succinctly, “Great coffee, food yummy—would come back!” So why not make Lux Espresso your next stop in Christchurch and indulge in a little coffee magic?
