Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Wellington

“Had a brilliant night, felt like being back in Wrexham. Lovely, friendly staff, great quiz on a Sunday night and very reasonable priced drinks including bottles of Wrexham lager! The roasts looked amazing and you can pre-order a vegan roast too. Well behaved dogs are allowed as well which is great! Iechyd da, diolch yn fawr.”

“Wow the staff here are absolutely amazing! We came for the MLB game and had big screens with NFL as well. The wings were soooo great, the garlic bread was quite dry BUT had a chat with the chef who offered us replacements that were super great (chips and GF garlic bread). Made our entire experience so great. The bartender Gabe also was so amazing and made us feel very welcomed and at home.”

“A neat little bar tucked away from any main road that has an outstanding collection of craft beer, a quirky menu and, if you’re there at the right time, live music. This little treasure is always worth a visit”

“Nice local pub. Drinks were good, staff were friendly, and the food was fast, hot, and tasty.”

“A good place for beers after work, good selection of beers thar are regularly updated. Expect it to be busy if its straight after work, with it being quieter a couple of hours after. Don't forget to sample the beers if you aren't sure whether you like it, staff are helpful and knowledgeable”

“Since John took over, this pub has gone from strength to strength. He's added so many features (doggy biscuits and beers, kids play area, lots of board games, weekly food trucks, weekly quizzes) that have made it not only a family friendly, local pub, but also a destination. Offering some amazing beers, wonderful staff will take you into their care and ensure you can kick back and relax. Dog friendly, kid friendly, social team friendly, it really does offer do much! Thanks for everything team, we love you!”

“I frequent Panhead Tory fairly regularly as I live near by. Always love the beer and appreciate trying something different than their standard can range. Food is very good too. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“Had a great experience today with Hayley! she took so much care in wrapping my poster so it wouldn’t get wet outside and was overall super lovely! Thank you so much ”

“Visited the Cafe and exhibitions today. The Cafe food and coffee was top quality, and the exhibition spaces are well set out. The art works were suitably challenging, made us think and ponder, which good art should do! Highly recommend a visit.”

“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”

“Very tasty Korean Fried Chicken in Wellington. We ordered the original crispy chicken meal and the The Big Burger with volcano chicken. The crispy chicken is real crisp and super juicy. Love the spice level of the Volcano too. Well worth the trip for us as we came from Porirua seeking for a yummy korean fried chicken and they didn't disappoint. The burger is really good but a bit tricky to eat so can get a bit messy. The meal/combos are a good alternative for a single diner. Good portion size and their chips are real good as well.”

“This is an excellent place to buy plants. They have so many and all are given the best tlc. And if you’re hungry the food and coffee at their cafe are very satisfactory. Highly recommend.”

“Hidden gem in the heart of city, might take a while to find the entrance at the first time but totally worth taking the adventure! No menu offered but warm gestures by the bartender with his wide knowledge and play magic to the create the tasty cocktail based on your preference. Love everything here, such a great spot to enjoy a peaceful quiet time at the balcony overlooking the busy street”

“Absolutely loved our visit here! I was down from Palmy visiting my son and he took me here for lunch. We were acknowledged as soon as we walked in the door — such friendly, genuine service. The staff went above and beyond and made us feel right at home. A special shout out to Piney who served us. She was the most beautiful, friendly and bubbly young lady. A real credit to Caffiend Cafe. The food was delicious — fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully served. You can tell there’s real care behind everything they do. A real gem. Can’t wait to come back!”

“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!”

“Really love their pies and it's quite cosy, a place I come alone to enjoy some afternoon peace! I don't usually return to cafes I've been to buy this is one of those I keep returning to”

“Properly poured stout, care was taken to let it settle and not be all head. Live music here was also fantastic. Great area right by the beach.”

“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.”

“Great place for morning coffee to start the work day. Even on busy mornings, the staff are very efficient and get your coffee pretty fast.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Not to be dramatic but their smashed egg sammie (toasted, to go, scoffed in the car) saved my life. Highly recommended, specifically on a Sunday morning in conjunction with an oat flatty.”

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

“Excellent vegetarian burger options, the Albert was super delicious! Great giant curly fries. Quick friendly service.”

“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.”

“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! United Brew Dogs covers your best craft beer options from the Wellington Region with Fortune Favours, Boneface, and Kereru, while still ensuring some solid New Zealand presentation from across the country. Quick service makes sitting and waiting for your plan that much more pleasant. A great wine list ensures all taste palettes are supported. The bar tenders can bang out your standard drinks or mix up something more top shelf depending on your mood ahead of trace. The food options are easily navigable as United Brew Dogs opts for simpler sharing style foods over full plates, making for a communal ambiance and a more welcoming atmosphere. Try their hotdogs, they’re made with the finest ingredients from sausage to the condiments dressing them. Go here for a good drink before you travel and enjoy minimising the mindless time spent on the other side of the security barrier!”

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

“Skinny sexy fries, iced choc, big fat sunday brekkie 10/10”

“We dropped in for a quick takeaway and as usual it was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. As we waited for our takeaways, a lovely staff handed us a glass of water which is an awesome gesture. We have dined in several times and we never had any negative feedback to provide. Lots on the menu to choose as well as your usual pastries and sweet desserts. Our favourite is the seafood casserole! Very rich and if given the chance, I would lick the bowl! Parking can be tricky as there are only a few on the street and several others by the side. Best to book if you do visit on the weekend or just wait as the turnover is pretty quick.”
