   Sadly they closed on 30/08/2025. Looks like Gloria Jean's is coming soon.

   I recently visited this establishment and unfortunately, my experience was quite underwhelming. The pricing structure seems to be out of sync with the portions offered. I was surprised to be charged the full price for what amounted to a meager literal half-cup of coffee, it was only filled halfway. This significant discrepancy between cost and value left me feeling rather disappointed. While the scones on display did appear visually appealing, I was hesitant to make another purchase given the initial experience. Ultimately, I would advise potential patrons to carefully consider their expectations and budget before visiting. Perhaps future adjustments to the pricing or portion sizes would improve the overall customer satisfaction.

   The cheese & onion scones are the best I’ve ever tasted, there was a fresh big plate of them and mine was still warm, crisp on the outside and soooo yummy! Lovely coffee and quick friendly service. My friends enjoyed the peppermint slice. Highly recommend this cafe in the Porirua mall.

   This is my go to Cafe in the North City Mall. The coffees are a generous size (medium is a very large cup) and the coffee is always nice and hot. Their cheese and onion scones are THE BEST! Crisp on the outside, moist on the inside...just perfect warmed with some butter on the side. All the food in the cabinet looks amazing. I am not sure if it is the owner/operator or manager? but she is one super hard working lady. I have been to the nearby cinema when the Cafe is closed and she has made me a coffee and is always working on food preparation or making cookies for the following day. The staff are efficient and courteous and the tables are cleared and cleaned very quickly between customers.

   Best Date Scones in Wellington and their Xtra Large Coffee with 4 shots is a must try!! They also have amazing Cheese Scones if that's your thing.

   I've often eaten here and enjoyed the experience well enough, but this time I made the mistake of opening my club sandwich to see what was inside. What you see is all you get.

   Great coffee in large cups at a reasonable price. Coffee comes to your table quickly. I've only had muffins which are fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly in this busy cafe. If you're after a coffee at the North City Mall I would recommend Esquires.
