Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Best café with great prices for their food! I love that they use garlic pita bread, and their unique sauce-on-sauce combo really sets them apart from other kebab shops. Definitely recommend!”

“Slow Lane: oh, my goodness - incredible! Apparently they were understaffed when we visited (during rush hour) but their customer service did not slow/suffer at all. Amazing, friendly service. Decent sized, tasty meals. We will definitely go again!”

“Delicious lunch at Biskit Cafe & Kitchen today. Service was good, food was served promptly, and staff were very friendly. Seems to be a favourite as the store was packed even on a weekday. As for the food, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Portions were great. We had the Thai chicken salad, Seoul beef burger, and fettuccine. Overall, it was a delightful experience. Would definitely be coming back in the future. Would recommend if you're in the area.”

“5 stars all round, wonderful (fast!) service, beautifully presented food, affordable prices! Highly recommend!”

“THIS PLACE! I flew in on Auckland and by accident stumbled on this little gem. I never had carrot cake... Needless to say it was DELICIOUS. Homemade, owner bakes it himself. The atmosphere is also wonderfull. I went around NZ after this first cake... Never had the same taste in my mouth again! Until I visited back when I had to leave NZ... Each bite is perfect! Staff is soo friendly and genuine trying to build something nice up. It's a pity a lot of old reviews are bringing this score down (it was the previous owner), because it deserves a freaking big score ❤️ It is a small caffee, so expect when it's busy some waiting time to get in.”

“Best local cafe in Hauraki by far! They have awesome All press coffee and the girls on the counter are super friendly and will look after you!”

“Very friendly staff, we walked in last minute and they were all super excited to extend their day a little to provide a great experience. Great espresso and we had the best pour over. Originally we went here to stock up on a few coffee supplies and they had a great selection of coffee brewing gear! 5 stars for sure and a great environment!”

“Very impressive food, fresh and great tasting, good size portions.. Really nice owners that take care of you No complaints”

“First time coming here after driving past a few times each week Would give 10 stars if I could ! ! Came in Thurs 10th July midday for some takeaway lunch & coffee , staff ( 2 x young women ) were friendly & made The Best Flat White ! Had a sausage roll which was Excellent and could tell was made in house Definitely stopping in more I’m an ex barista (15yrs experience) and generally have high expectations but mostly receive below average coffee So it was awesome to receive an amazing Flat White from the Barista at Karaka General Store & Cafe Thanks so much”

“I visited this cafe with my daughter today.I ordered Flat White and Egg and Bacon muffin. Coffee is good but no good art. Food is not special, just ok. Place is enough to serve group. Interior is good. Cleanness is quite good. Service is very fast and good. Staffs are kind. Recommend for morning tea and coffee break.”

“Super friendly and courteous young man at the front. Beef Nacho was sooooo good (freshly made and worth the wait time. Will definitely get that again, generous portion... A wide variety of good soul island food to choose from. Cheers.”

“What a lovely experience! The ambiance is great and your coffee is truly amazing. The portions are wonderfully generous—thank you for that! Please send our sincere thanks to the Chilean waitress who served us; she was incredibly kind and helpful and was a lifesaver with my very picky nephew.”

“The food is great and the service is so quick and friendly. Love the lamb here. Lunch specials are a great value for money. It’s highly consistent and the portion size is decent. It can get very busy during peak lunch hours so best to make a booking especially for a larger group. Highly recommended !”

“Popped in for dinner after the Allblacks game and were rewarded with exceptional service and a wonderful meal. I love to slow cook so I ordered the beef cheek , WOW… I was not disappointed it was beautifully cooked and the flavours were wonderful. There is a big screen here which has me thinking I may book dinner for the next game. Looking forward to returning and sampling some more things on the menu. Highly recommend!”

The kitchen at Gastronomics Restaurant Cafe & Bar takes a simple, bistro‑style path and lets the food speak. A sensible spend for the spread. Service stays present without fuss. Meals reach the pass promptly.

“Had one of their award winning Steak n Cheese pies. It was everything you'd want from a pie - flakey pastry on top, soft on bottom, delicious flavours, tender steak, golden on top. Not the cheapest at $7 but definitely worththe stop if you're after a good pie.”

“Lovely staff, quick service and delicious food and drinks. Their coffee is great and so is their strawberry matcha. Early bird brekkie for $14.90 is an absolute deal and the kids buttermilk pancakes are crazy good”

“Great tasting coffee and good food at a reasonable price, drop in for a quick breakfast and really enjoyed it. Nice clean well laid out place.”

“I really like their Matcha Latte! Soy Milk option for a cost. They also stock a few vegan treats.”

“I get a coffee from here every morning, great coffee and good food! The croissants & the sandwiches/baguette are delicious! Staff are very polite and friendly”

“The flat white was the best I have had in Wellington. The service was outstanding. We had a takeaway order and they were so helpful. Thank you. Rob and Maddy”

“I've been to most cafés around Wellington City and Petone/Lower Hutt, and Kelburn Café is hands down the most consistently amazing. I order Eggs Benedict everywhere I go, and after 10+ visits here, I've never once had an over—or undercooked egg - the consistency here is outstanding. It is a small café, so when it's busy there can be a short wait for food or coffee, but it's always worth it. The coffee is consistently perfect, and the beans they use are clearly top quality. The café is run by a small team who always serve with a smile, and the atmosphere is amazing. Couldn't recommend them enough - I'll definitely be back regularly.”

“When you hand a late hospital appointment and need that caffeine fix … Open u til 5pm! Bonus Mingle Cafe is a super find with easy parking outside. Fabulous service. Coffee and fresh made pies - hubby well happy!”

“It takes more than 40 minutes to get the food, but it's worth it :) Bunch of sea food in the burger, so I fee like it is different menu not burger haha but very tasty and unique. Good to try for 2024 wellington on a plate.”

“Best Beef Randang in Wellington. Noodle soup is also great. Sambal is tangy and hot. Really great.”

“We come here almost every week. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious and there are lots of options (both menu and cabinet items). There is a nice peaceful atmosphere with good seating options inside and outside. Can't recommend enough :)”

“Been on my bucket list like forever, finally got to try it for the first time!! And oh my lord I should've come here earlier.... Food was great, staff awesome, coffee good. Had the scrambled tofu and it's so flavorful! Will definitely be coming back!”

“Really awesome cafe to have in the heart of Brooklyn, Friendly staff, great service and top it off good coffee, and the food looks amazing,”

“Great food and very fast service. It's smaller than most cafes inside of Palmers so does get full quick during peak times. Great spot for people that love avocado as they are always generous with any dish that has it. Nice spot for an afternoon catchup in the sun.”

“Unbelievable cafe! Super busy though so plan to wait, but totally worth the wait. Staff are amazing at juggling tables and customers, a very well run team. Amazing food! I got the big breakfast and added hollandaise, a Vienna coffee and takeaway too as coffee was so good! Hands down one of the best cafes around. Plus it’s on the beach so you can go for a walk on beach afterwards! Will be back for-sure!”
