Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“One of the best (if not THE best) burger I've had in Wellington! And I've tried many. Also, ordering a fully plant-based option is super easy. They even have vegan milkshakes! Fully recommend it. I will keep coming back.”

“Full house for a Tue dinner service (before a sellout show at MFC). Be sure to book! Burrata, flatbread, snapper crudo, gnocchi, wagyu flank, half lamb shoulder (classic they'll hopefully never stop serving), sides of cauli & fries - between 4. All dishes were perfectly on point flavour-wise and generous enough to share. Everyone left satisfied and still recalling the yum hours later. Service was attentive and friendly but unprentious. Unique and broad selection of wines (cocktails a bit slow, but it was busy). Overall a very memorable meal and will for sure continue to recommend to others for special occassions, and return.”

“We were in search of some of Wellington’s best cheese scones! I think this is definitely up there. Soft cheesy goodness heated up in a sandwich press to ensure it doesn’t go soggy/rubbery. You can get a larger one, or smaller ones for slightly less. Absolutely delicious cheese scones, wish I could eat it all over again! Pravda has some serious competition! El porteno also make a delicious hot choco which is a great price!”

“Amazing coffee at better price than the other cafes around. The folks working there are super nice, and the atmosphere is fantastic.”

“Absolutely lovd Leroys! They've got a spacious outdoors area with a chill but fun vibe inside. The food is incredible, and they have a great tap list with plenty of options. The bar staff are super friendly and always go above and beyond... Shout out to Poppy! There's also a pool table and a nifty upstairs spot which I heard is perfect for events. Best spot in town by far!”

“One of our favourite finds on our NZ holiday - great atmosphere and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had”

“Great place for a drink on a sunny afternoon in Wellington. Friendly staff, good ambiance, good music. Choose up or downstairs they even have a balcony. Makes you feel a bit like being in London with a touch of sunshine and clean air.”

“This is a fantastic spot for brunch and coffee. It’s a busy cafe so it might pay to book ahead, however we turned up and had to wait 15 minutes for a table for 2. Once we were seated the service was fantastic. I was eager to try the espresso tasting flight and loved it, a staff member explained the origins of the coffee which was great. The food was fantastic, it came out quick and the quality was exceptional! We are definitely going to come back again.”

“Great espresso, very acidic but just the way I like it.”

“Sandwiches are good amd delicious! Always crowded, sometimes can't hear what my friends says, but it was okay because food and coffee here are the BEST. Come in the morning or late afternoon on spring or autumn. Magical.”

“Full hair cut and beard trim from Tui. Put your trust in this guy. Listened closely, interpreted exactly what I was after, with clear communication throughout. Couldn't be more stoked with the execution. Highest possible commendation. Thank you!”

“Visiting the city and found an excellent spot for exceptional coffee. On a sunny day, the best place to enjoy it is the outdoor terrace upstairs - quieter, more spacious, and refreshingly open, perfect for a leisurely breakfast and long conversations. The service is warm, welcoming, almost joyous, with staff who appear genuinely enthusiastic, accommodating, and efficient. Though the space is compact, the atmosphere is full of heart. Had a very lovely experience here. Thanks Frank’s and Wellington!”

“Always a great experience. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 90’s movie theatre.”

“Nice selection of Hemp clothes, crystals, salt lamps & knick-knacks.”

“Come for the Star Wars decor, stay for the drinks and Pomodoro Pizza. The fine folks at Pizza Pomodoro informed me that if I would like to enjoy their pizza in a place with tables and seats (PP has only two very small tables) that Goldings had plenty of those AND sold their pizza there as well. So we went to Goldings and it was exactly as advertised. Best of both worlds and a bigger drink selection. Will be happy to return many many times in the future.”

“they taught me the words to use to avoid getting my cappuccinos with too much milk. honestly if they weren't so close to my work I'd probably quit my job. keep up the good java team!”

“A delightful brunch. Had the lady breakfast which was the perfect size and verything was cooked to perfection. Lovely piano music to accompany the ambient din of people catching up over coffee and brunch.”

“Simple, down to earth, best coffee at a good price. I not only get my coffee in their shops , I get their beans so that I can enjoy their coffee when I’m working from home too”

“The thw scrambled eggs with salmon roe were delightful. The chives, salty pops of the roe paired perfectly with the koulouri (similar to a Greek bagel). This atmosphere was homey yet sophisticated.”

“Solid coffee here. Grabbed two bags of beans and a flat white to go. The atmosphere is also cozy and great service. ☕”

“All the staff are simply the best. We are so lucky. My daily walk.”

“Very cool vibe, spacious and authentic, these are the words is choose due Hataitai's cool new micro-brewery. With a little range of other beers to compliment their own Pale Ale, beer snobs and their friends will all be satisfied. Yummy snacks keep you going as the evening sun encourages you to stick around longer. Go here and enjoy seeing the club evolve and grow.”

“Very good spot for our spontaneous WOAP burger pick for the night, welcoming staff who were easy going and inviting & yummy food & drinks! We tried the adult mango-lime drink there will definitely be back to try another flavour ☺️”

“This is an interesting place to others an amazing vibe, it has the choices I am generally interested in and of course it has a hint of southern African quinine, whether you come for a coffee, or a breakfast with boerewors or you lunch with a bunny chow can you really go wrong in a place like this, I think not! It is definitely a great place to eat and you should give it a go!”

“What a fantastic cafe! Friendly, efficient staff, incredible food and great views. Love the decor, highly recommended to all!”

“I had the tonkatsu special, and was really impressed by the pork. It was sliced around 2cm thick, so retained a lot of juices and allowed you to really taste the pork. The coating was thin and crispy, fried perfectly. Partner enjoyed the salmon gnocchi, and was very impressed by the dessert special - a sake panna cotta. If we lived closer we would definitely come more often!”

“Just popped in here for a late breakfast. Who knew oatmeal could be such a work of art! Delicious and a pleasure to the senses on multiple levels. My wife had the smashed avocado with feta and humus on sourdough toast which she also loved.”

“You can find different taste of ice-cream here, more than 20 flavor. I have mascapone and black doris plum (even it rain:) very yummy.”

“Every Thursday I come for looking forward for it. There hot chocolates always make me nice and warm also one of the best hot chocolates ever. Staff are super chatty and nice. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Fantastic food and coffee. Traditional brunch good as well as gourmet burgers and beautifully presented tacos and quesadillas. Pleasant outdoor seating area for lunch in the sun or shade.”
