Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Mushroom quesadilla on a Sunday afternoon - glorious. We ordered then waited on the balcony of Goldings bar with a drink. Whilst it took a bit longer than expected it was well worth the wait! Highly recommend if you're after a Mexi-fix.”

“Great spot. Rooms are dark and cozy. Comfy beds. Great in-room amenities incl free drinks and snacks. Ice machine and laundry facilities available for guests on level 3. Friendly service. Location is handy to vibrant Cuba Street with plenty of eateries near the hotel.”

“Great place with great coffee options. Staff is extremely friendly.”

“Another local favourite, with plenty of great ways to enjoy your fresh coffee - Steampunk and Nitro among the 'must try' options - and a knowledgeable staff happy to help find your favourites!”

“Absolutely fantastic! Coffee is great. Atmosphere really easy and rustic (just as I love it. Something that I really loved is that they promote the use of your own cup instead of paper goblets (go green!) They also make their own pizzas. So far, the cheapest café I had in New Zealand”

“The meals are delicious and the lasagna name is the best I've had ! Trust me, I'm a foodie. Gotta say, love the customer service and everything about the guys who run this place! "Wellingtons best kept secret"”

“Cute little neighbourhood Argentinian run cafe on Oriental Bay. With a seaside view this place offers a simple modern interior decor, funky contemporary music that serves coffee and Argentinian treats and pastry. The empanadas are delicious but my favourites are the egg and bacon pastry/tart and they serve the best cheese scones I’ve ever had- I taste test cheese scones wherever I go! The egg and bacon pastry/tart is served with this special Argentinian sauce that’s unique and delicious that I highly recommend trying- Chimichurra sauce. Service is courteous, polite and friendly.”

“On a cold Wellington morning, we ducked into this cafe for a couple of coffees. Warm, friendly service and tasty coffee. Cute little courtyard out the back sheltered from the wind.”

“I was early to take the ferry to the South Island and had a coffee there. The vibe was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful and joking around with each other and the customers. On top of that the coffee was also fab. I had a savory scone that which was very JUM as well.”

“Fantastic beers and amazing food! Clean and easygoing environment and super helpful staff. Loved all the dogs - made the whole time there feel super relaxed!”

“We had a lovely time dining at Rita. The service was very friendly, professional, and attentive. The restaurant is set in a cute narrow building and they make good use of the space. The design is minimalist. We enjoyed all our dishes. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, but you’re not coming here for quantity. It’s about the quality and pairing of the ingredients. You’ll still leave feeling full. Would easily recommend to anyone looking for something new and different. Note the menu changes regularly, I think even daily. Whatever is on the menu that day is what you’ll get. Great if you struggle to make decisions!”

“Its great to have this place in the community. Great coffee and a nice selection of cabinet food at reasonable prices. There can be a wait if there are a few people in front of you.”

“Hands down the best coffee I’ve had!”

“This little gem is hidden away but is well known for its Sri Lankan delights. They also serve the classic Kiwi brekkie and full meals with great coffee. Open on the weekends too which is an added bonus plus lots of parking available. Very friendly service as always and staff are happy to chat whenever we drop in.”

“Great selection of GF and V food along with regular food. The sausage roll removed pastry so I could savor it! Have visited a few times in the last month. They change up the food offerings and always delights. Coffee is fabulous as expected.”

“Love the sister cafe in Petone and this is no different. Service with a smile, great coffee, loads of keto and veg options available and most of all, brilliant indoor and outdoor seating available. There is also a couple of 15min parks right in front for a quick turnaround. Lots of free street parking available too if you plan to eat in.”

“Espresso Rescue not only make the most delicious coffees, but they have a brilliant selection of teas too. There's even Trade Aid GF hot chocolates on offer. The coffee's even organic and fair trade! There's a selection of flavours shots too. If you've not been before you must!!! The team are delightfully friendly and they remember your coffee!”

“We visited as a Playcentre trip. Michaela was really easy to communicate and plan with. Our children had a great time helping put mulch around the plants and planting some new plants. Michaela was realistic about how long the children’s attention would last and we moved inside to enjoy coffees and the children played in the play area.”

“Always a good cuppa from Aloha. We usually like getting either a cappucino or hot choccy or both. This place consistently does a beautiful hot choccy - the best I’ve had in Porirua. Also recommend trying the salted caramel donut in their cabinet - its divine! They also allow you to byo cups and have their own mugs for you to use to help with waste. To top it off, the cafe doubles as a small gallery that sells beautiful jewellery snd homeware.”

“Not one to google reviews often, but I highly recommend this place! Great beer, chilled out atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. The food was great and had a great time. So a well deserved 5 star review which don't come often from me. Oh and it’s dog friendly! Huge bonus points!”

“#burgerporirua Mucho Crunch Birria WOAP So good. Hubby & I came to an agreement on 8.25/10. The Smashed Burger pattie was Very generous. Yum beefy consume. Bens Buns were really lovely. Great customer service. Serviettes needed! Thx. Highly recommend! Very generous here I felt having 4 heaters on. I loved the feel of the place”

“Mainly visit as my daughter is fond of bubble tea! But the place is generally very neat and it has a nice white relaxing decoration if you enjoy to sip your drink on site. The packaging of the drink is very attractive and it comes in a sealed disposable cup with a straw.”

“Had coffee and yummy gooey brownie at bench stools, while waiting for vehicle repair nearby. Returned to get lunch takeaway. Home made Bulgogi pies. Best pies we've EVER tasted. Will certainly be back for more. Lovely friendly service too. Have marked atmosphere highly as clean and local newspsper provided, but of course very basic as this is essentially a takeaway.”

“A perfect cafe. Delicious food and coffee, a beautiful space to relax in, and very genuine service.”

“Excellent service, delicious coffee and muffins.”

“The vendor is extremely nice greets everyone with such a welcoming nature it really makes you want to come back the servings are large and very value for money!! Best place to get your lunch if you are a tradie!!”

“A must visit for vegans! Delicious food with varied prepared and cooked to order menu options! Service was great and personable, and the store is well stocked. Seating is limited.”

“Lovely little shop with local produce and products, made a great flat white and the bear claw pastry was unbelievably good! Definitely make this a pit stop on your way to/from Akaroa.”

“Great food corner shop in our neighbourhood; Good coffee and cabin food; Great collections of vege, milk, eggs, cheese, dipping sauce, bread and drinks.”

“Perfect coffee I’ve ever had. Quite strong and rich but not sharp. Really tasty. I love their coffee.”
