Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Wellington

“It's such a nice cafe at the waterfront of Days Bay. Nice atmosphere and staff. Sometimes, it takes a while for the kitchen, but that is mainly because of how busy it is. The food is great, cakes are nice and the coffee is good.”

“Great sized meals and delicious! Definitely made with love ❤ Highly recommend this cool place”

“Since coming to the region for work and finding this place I come for breakfast every morning. Best cafe I’ve found in Hastings! food, coffee and service is excellent”

“The cafe is casual and relaxed and the staff are really friendly. Food is really good - there is a lot of choice and ability to customise your meal. And the bonus of it being next to Bunnings is there is plenty of parking.”

“Recommend this place. Lil humble bakery and Cafe that serves yummy food and have awesome customer service. This is my go to place for a instant feed”

“Stopped in for an ice latte, and Caet made one of the best I’ve had and I’ve traveled all over the word. He was very polite and welcoming all round a 5 star experience.”

“Good latte with yummilicious apple muffin. The boss Mr. Deng are so friendly. Had a nice chat with him.”

“Cosy cafe in the heart of Lambton quay. Tried a rice noodle chicken dish and it was amazing. Would highly recommend.”

“Love this local gem in Tawa. Reasonably priced with huge portions. Food is delicious and service fantastic. BYO.”

“Great selection of kai, inu, and treats. Order at the counter, table delivery, no fuss and no stress at this smorgasbord of goodness. My cousin got the salad and i grabbed a smoothie & club sammie. Prices are also brilliant—in this economy? Need good value places like these.”

“Came for a meeting and destroyed a coffee.. it was so strong it knocked me over chair and all.. onlookers gawked and children cried but I was OK. The cheese scones are apparently amazing, although I don't know how far the dollar stretches as my food was shouted for me.. give it a go, give it a review and improve on this review. Try the coffee it was nom.. peace”

“The local cafe in Wadestown and they do a lovely selection of drinks and food. Highly recommend their chai latte! ☕️”

“Just finished up a lovely night with the girls celebrating one of our friend's birthdays. We were served and looked after by the wonderful staff Rob. Want to say we were so impressed by his customer service, he went above and beyond and made our night a core memory. thank you Rob and staff for a wonderful night will be back next month!”

“If I could rate Palace Cafe higher, I would. There are three stand out things here. First, is the truly home made cabinet food. It's so wonderful to go somewhere and not see the same old bulk supply slices and biscuits. This is food with real flavour. Second is the delicious, generous and very reasonably priced meals. You won't walk away hungry or broke. And then the most valuable thing of all is the service. Here, there are genuine smiles and welcoming words that make you want to return just to experience the hospitality again.”

“Absolutely the best seafood laksa ever! I take all my visiting friends and family here.”

“First time here. And definitely won't be the last. Usual customer of the clocktower across the road. The egg Benny and the big breakfast was perfect. No drama everything was on point. Think top one has found itself a new customer.”

“Great place for a meal and cuppa and centrally located in the Hutt. Food is ok and we had the spicy chicken rice and steak with chips. The rice was similar to a tom yum flavoured dish however was a little oily. Steak wasn’t too bad. Coffee and service was fantastic though and will definitely be back to try their other items.”

“We visited Sea Salt for lunch today, the meals were excellent, served by a charming waitress. The crispy calimari was one of the best I have enjoyed, just the right smount of pepper, and perfectly cooked. Brilliant coffee, served hot too.”

“We went in on a quiet night. The food was great. We got the beef wellington and seafood chowder. Our server was kind and made sure to let us know about the dessert special they had that day. One of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Highly recommend.”

“Went in for a coffee and got served by the small red haired girl. Super lovely girl made our experience enjoyable and made an awesome coffee! Looking forward to returning and getting the same level of customer service again.”

“I was visiting from Canada earlier in 2025 & met 2 gals, Jan and Jill at Cafe 180 Degrees. They were enjoying what seemed like a lovely breakfast. We chatted a bit from our tables & they invited me over. I loved the coffee and the egg dish which I ordered. Jan & Jill & I, then met once a week at Cafe & Bistro 180. I highly recommend the food there (loved the fish and Chips!) & will re-visit the Cafe the next time that I travel to N.Z. Sylvia”

“I have been to this venue twice now. On the most recent visit I had the Thunder burger. I like the atmosphere and the low-key concerts they host. The staff are friendly and efficient. I will continue to attend the concerts and enjoy the food at this cafe'.”

“The staff were so brilliant: it was really busy pre FIFA game and they were all very cheerful, efficient and upbeat. Lovely people.”

“Had brunch there for the first time and loved it. For those who aren’t aware, it used to be called Mayfair theatre in the 1900s and you’ll be able to catch some of its history in the cafe. We had the Breakfast Special and it was perfect and a bonus to it was a well brewed coffee. Service was excellent and we exchanged a few chats along the way. The fireplace kept the cafe warm and toasty but not too heated. Lots of street parking available which adds to the convenience. This place also does discounts on the Entertainment Book or First Table bookings.”

“We very much enjoyed our dining experience at Lone Star Petone. The food was excellent and the servers very friendly.”

“The best breakfast/ brunch spot in Porirua! We had the veggie breakfast and chilli oil scrambled eggs, food was very well done and tasted great. 100% recommended.”

“An amazing tasty lunch today at Ruby’s. I noticed it seemed like the whole place had improved . . . new outside tables, it felt clean, and the menu had changed. Then I was told it was fairly new ownership which made perfect sense. We sat outside on a beautiful Welly sunny day under an umbrella with my well behaved little dog. The lovely lady that has just moved down from Auckland was so helpful and friendly. She brought a bowl of water out for my dog straight away. Highly recommend, a happy experience with well priced super tasty food . . . you really can’t ask for much more than this ☺️”
