Espresso Studio by Fushoken: Triple Shot, Triple Soul in Christchurch

Step into Espresso Studio by Fushoken and you’ll instantly feel its bold spirit—this is no ordinary coffee stop. Nestled on Cashel Street in the heart of Christchurch, the cafe has earned a reputation among coffee aficionados for serving triple shot espresso as the default, setting a fearless tone for every cup. The space may be compact, but the energy is unmistakably big and vibrant, with the baristas' craft at the center of the experience. The aroma of specialty coffee beckons from the street, promising some of the city’s strongest—and most talked-about—espresso. While they haven’t snagged official awards just yet, the crew is famed locally for their unwavering quality and innovation, making this spot a must-visit for those who take their coffee seriously.

Espresso Studio’s portfolio showcases a deep respect for both coffee and Japanese culinary culture. Alongside expertly pulled shots and silky matcha lattes, the cafe offers the iconic Japanese GENJI PIE pastry, a delightfully flaky, sweet treat that pairs beautifully with their robust brews. The team once featured indulgent cheese biscuits and Nutella cookies, reflecting their commitment to unique flavors, but now sticks to their strengths in coffee and select pastries. Housed in the lively Riverside Market precinct, Espresso Studio thrives on connection, energy, and a devotion to elevating the everyday coffee ritual—perfect for those seeking a powerful start or a midday recharge.
