C1 Espresso
C1 Espresso is a cafe known for its quirky interior and pneumatic tube food delivery system—an unusual feature not often seen in New Zealand cafes. It has a vegan food cabinet that regularly includes vegan muffins and meatball pizza slices, alongside a range of freshly squeezed juices and coffee. The venue's coffee portions tend to be small, and some reviewers note inconsistent vegan food preparation, including occurrences of non-vegan items mistakenly served on vegan orders.
