In the SQ on Madras St sits Christchurch’s cosiest new coffee spot, Measured. We’re stoked to be working with Kay and Brent on their new venture, which has been a long-time dream of theirs.
The moment you step into Measured, their passion for well-made coffee, good food, and genuine hospitality is clear. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the layout and furnishings to their house-made cabinet treats and flavour syrups.
The duo have put together a thoughtful coffee offering, with Embassy as their espresso blend paired with locally sourced milk. They also offer a range of single origins on pour over, batch brew and iced filter, retail coffee to take home, and guest roasters will soon join the rotation.
We first met Kay and Brent when they relocated to Christchurch a couple of years ago, and both have since worked at Embassy spots around the city before opening Measured’s doors at the end of March.
Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee on the go or settling in with a magazine or some work, we guarantee you’ll leave with a smile on your face. We recommend sticking around a while, soaking up the sun and treating yourself to an olive oil & sea salt chocolate chip cookie.
