Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“We had huge, delicious portions of pastas here. There’s a live pianist as well that created a lovely ambience as we enjoyed our meal.”

“Excellent food and an excellent night. Kate creates a great atmosphere and she and her staff did a fine job handling our various food preferences. We didn't want to leave!”

“Incredible service and delicious food! All of the staff (especially the woman on the front till) were incredibly energetic, attentive, smiley and friendly. The food here is absolutely phenomenal - in particular, the waffles. For $25, the waffles were a great portion size, presented beautifully and was overall a 10/10 meal. It was like a churro in waffle form - super soft and chewy but still very light with that classic exterior cinnamon sugar crusted crisp that churros have. The plum mascarpone toned down the sweetness, the strawberries were a great addition and the maple syrup was the cherry on top. As I mentioned, the size of the waffles was very generous, and we still managed to finish them all as they were so fluffy and not dense whatsoever. The granola was really delicious and not like many others available in Wellington. Whilst also being presented beautifully, the house-made granola was abundant with chewy oats, sliced nuts, seeds and coconut, and was definitely binded with maple syrup which made it very soft, unlike typical granolas that are crunchy. I really liked this though - definitely one of the best granolas I have ever had. The sweetness was toned down by the greek yoghurt paired nicely with a berry jam, diced nectarine, sliced pear and maple syrup. They also offered milk on a side which was lovely. I did provide feedback to the waitstaff regarding the granola being a very minuscule portion which they very swiftly relayed to the chefs. The staff were very considerate and understanding, and ensured that I left satisfied. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Egmont St. Eatery and I would highly recommend that everyone tries their waffles. They were potentially the best waffles I have ever consumed in my life. I did find the cafe itself a little bit loud due to the music volume and conversing patrons, but that is more just of a personal preference. Awesome work team. I was very blown away with the hospitality you provided. Keep it up!”

“Will definitely come back again! Came here once because my friend recommended and now has become my favorite restaurant in welly. Staffs were friendly and great atmosphere to hang out with friends or family. The seats were almost filled around 20min after they open. Off street parkings are available around too. Love everything we order, especially the gnocchi with prosciutto! 3 people ordered 4 appetizers and a steak, very filling. Also the bacon marmalades on the bone marrow is yum!!”

“They are hosting dinners from time to time. Service made by students. Cooking made by students. Great culinary school !”

“Hidden gem. This place's esthetic is true Japanese and yet, it's blended so well with good world beer and the art of conversation. Dominic, the bar owner made me feel welcomed and we chatted about the world and beer for ages. They made me great beer recommendations and made me a stonkin' vegan sandwich (pulled jackfruit). Low-key. Friendly. Tasty beer and snacks. Top marks!”

“Great service right from entry. Heaps of options. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options also. Food was so good and very reasonably priced!!!”

“Great coffee, service and pre made food. The chicken cranberry Panini is excellent”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“Best coffee in town, and tasty snacks for a good price. Always speedy service and good banter from the crew. Can't wait for them to return from Christmas break....”

“So cute and cosy move theatre❤️”

“Absolutely delish food! Had brunch & cake, so delicious! The eggs Bene was the best I’ve had in a long time! Dubai chocolate brownie was amazing! Service was great, friendly staff, cute spot! Quite loud inside, but would highly recommend!”

“This is such a charming little café. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We went to try their WOAP burger which was by far the best we had during the event. We'll definitely be going back.”

“Just stopped in to try coffee and check out food - so good! Great service and quick wait. Coffee amazing! Good selection of food and prices. Love the seating and old school stools.”

“My parents are moving to the area soon (from out of town). They've been to this cafe a couple of times while finding a house, doing inspections, etc. The staff remembered their faces and to my Mum in particular that meant the world. Thank-you!!”

“Really good fish and chips, juicy big chicken wings, mussels cooked perfectly and best chips. Great garlic sauce too. Friendly service.”

“my first time here. love my scrambled eggs and bacon. best coffee ive had since Maccas McCafe lol. thank you for a great first experience.”

“Probably the friendliest staff of any cafe in the country. They're always bubbly and ready for a good yarn. The monthly changing scones and overnight oats are , 11 times out of 12, excellent , the olive lover(s) might say 12 out of 12. Good banter, excellent coffee and not a bad location either.”

“What a hidden gem!! Super tender and crispy chicken and yummy sauces, also very reasonably low price for the portion you get! You can also order online and it only took 5min for my order to be ready :) Just an FYI I got the kimchi bowl which is the only bowl that doesn’t include steamed rice which I didn’t notice.”

“Great place to chill. If you're a local, get a membership and have a chance to win $1000 fortnightly.”

“Cute cosy bar with a fun atmosphere. I learned that Double Brown was a craft beer, and highly revered in this venue.”

“Seoulful tastes, Seoulful vibe! Tried the chicken on rice, gimbap, tteokbokki, and pork cutlet — just like home. Clean flavours, tidy presentation, spotless kitchen, and genuinely kind service. Korean comfort done right in Christchurch.”

“Fantastic Little Place, easy parking and more importantly great Coffee and Phoebe is amazing . But Please , please can you Bring back a little Back Ground Music . removing that a month ago has changed the Atmosphere .”

“Great food presentation and taste good. Coffee really got the nice aromatic smell and taste wonderfull. Environment wise its okay. Will be back for more definitely.”

“Love there turmeric latte with lemon muffin. Hubby had flat white with a chesse scone.”

“Obsessed with Good Habit! Had the Eggs Benedict with salmon—perfectly runny egg, great flavor. Flat White was smooth and rich. Staff was friendly, vibe was cozy.”

“Beautiful works in a beautiful building. Even the drain pipes are beautiful.”

“Thanks so much for a fantastic night on Saturday night! We booked the Poplar Social club for a birthday party, and it was great! Sarah was wonderful to deal with before the event, helpful and professional with great suggestions, and we felt organised and in control. The night went completely to plan, including timing for all the food, and Adam was absolutely fantastic behind the bar and helped make it such a great night. Thanks so much guys, it was awesome”

“Went for lunch and great ambiance to hang out. Guy at the counter was very nice and polite. He recommended us the food and their cake is good. Will definitely go again.”
