Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Wellington

“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.”

“Good place to grab a bite or a smoothie between classes!”

“I wish all airport bars were this good! Best beer on tap in the airport and at reasonable prices that make whiling away the time a great option!

“Shout out to the crew who were working the lunch service 1/11/25. Good food, outstanding service. Conversational engaged staff, and even managed to sell a couple of us another drink without being in our faces about it. We'll be back, and I'll tell friends.”

“Crumpet is such a nice place for having a drink and small talks or deep conversations. The vibe of this place is so good and relaxing, especially with the candle on the table. However, when the shop is full of people, it is getting a little busy and noisy, but it still provides good vibes. For the crew at Crumpet, they are very knowledgeable in making the drink. We ordered a drink based on our own taste, and they made it so good! Overall, Crumpet is recommended!”

“Trying to find somewhere open early in the weekend is a bit of a mission. But so glad this place was open. Great atmosphere, amazing coffee and the cheese scone was THE BEST!!!”

“Fantastic little cafe. Great vibe, good food at an extremely reasonable price. Would recommend.”

“Beautifully presented avocado on toast. Good coffee. Pleasant staff. Fair prices. Most importantly, theyre accommodating to small, friendly dogs, meaning I can go there without worrying about my little puppy.”

“A Khandallah favorite, Dunshea’s Deli offers a more creative menu than the usual cafe’s breakfast fare. Try the Sammie with Black Pudding or the amazing cheese jalapeño scones. And the coffee is top notch. Parking can be a challenge but I’ve always found one in the end.”

“Fantastic coffee, food, staff and vibe. Live the berry coconut smoothies too. My favourite cafe in Lyall Bay. Super friendly food did too”

“The coffee and matcha are lovely, and I had a salmon toast that was perfect, with store made grains and nuts bread! The croissants were large and fluffy, we had the plain and the almond. The English muffin breakfast sandwich was delicious. The service was friendly and fast, while they were quite busy. Our large group sat at the only large table, but there is planty of seating inside. They havebread, milk, a few wines, and pottery for sale. Highly recommend!”

“I never do google reviews, but need to shout out this place badly. Food is amazing, service is out of this world and the BEST ice choc in wellies so far. Been coming here for a year and it’s my favourite breakfast spot EVER. Thank you guys for always feeding me”

“This bar is a hidden gem, capable of bringing out the pirate in anyone! The thrill of discovering this place was truly rewarding. The atmosphere and decor are remarkable, with artificial skulls on the wall showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Every corner offers unique seating options and ambiance, making the experience truly special. The staff is delightful and enjoyable to chat with. The "Skull Punch" drink, served with a spectacular fiery show, is a definite recommendation for the thrilling experience it provides. Exploring the various rum-based cocktails was a fun adventure. Surprisingly, the place wasn't overly busy for a Friday night, adding to the overall positive experience.”

“adorable and this pizza is insane. best pie i've had in months.”

“Incredibly friendly staff and delicious food at terrific value. We ordered quite a spread to try out a few different things. The portions were very generous and well priced. The basil aioli is absolutely wonderful! It's the little things. Very comfortable environment too. Loved the place. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area!”

“Have been able to try many of the dinner options. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The venison and lamb have been cooked perfectly, tender and succulent. Fresh gourmet veges, jus and sauces. Highly recommend any of the dishes. The duck was also amazing.”
