Cafe in Wellington

“Great prices for good organic fair trade coffee! Nice personal and great little container coffee shop. Can recommend!”

“Consistently good food, very friendly staff.”

“Went here for the first time recently and we’ll definitely be back soon. My wife got the cheeseburger and I had the Beyond Meat burger and both were excellent along with the curly fries. The bagels looked great so will try these next time. Great outlook over the harbour and I love the bean bags for sitting in the sun or the shade of the trees.”

“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!”

“We came here today for lunch. Due to a very recent accident I’m temporarily wheelchair bound and very nervous accessing new venues. When we arrived today, the owner/manager calmly helped my daughter with the wheelchair and went out of his way to make me feel welcome and safe. Honestly, can’t thank him and the rest of the staff for their kindness. As for the food- delicious! Highly recommended”

“Great first visit to Revive! Had the smoked fish kedgeree and was thoroughly impressed. They were very generous with the amount of fish, the egg was runny and perfectly poached and the rice was creamy and lightly spiced. Great balance of textures and flavours- the squeeze of lemon really pulled everything together! Staff were friendly and efficient even though we went during a very busy time. Clearly very good at what they do. Great vibe inside- very modern and clean. They had the doors open so good temperature. Definitely visit if you are considering it!”

“A great place for a hot chocolate! Priced very fair, and the service was friendly and quick! Enjoyed my hot chocolate immensely.”

“Super cool space that you would never know existed above the storefront. We ate too quickly to take photos, but had the Thai beef salad, big breakfast, and the standard two egg plate. My son had a salted caramel milkshake that he said was wonderful. They have a full soda bar and coffee bar along with amazing pastries. It’s a little loud inside. The view is absolutely amazing even on this cloudy day. This is a fun place to eat with great food!”

“It’s hard to find good coffee without the acidic aftertaste, but they get it just right here. The barista is excellent, and the coffee quality is top-notch. We’ll definitely be back!”

“excellent coffee and one of the few places who do ice-creams. I recommend a coffee and ginger slice. My boys love the sandwiches and hot chips.”

“Good food, friendly service, and plenty of seating. Also, I had the cinnamon donut and it was similar to the donuts you get in LA. Light and airy. I feel like the donuts I’ve had in Wellington have been kind of dense.”

“You might need to sit outside or at an open area at night. When cold, take a warm jacket in case you need to sit in these areas. Food is delicious. Had WoP”

“Dined here for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! My friend and I got a medium big chicken pizza to share and it was so good! The place was very popular and the counter staff were friendly. Only downside to the experience was when I ordered a lemon meringue cheesecake and it was served to me still frozen so I had to have it takeaway, also we ordered garlic bread but they didn’t have any . Would definitely go back for the pizza though!”

“Been here many times. Excellent pizza, and their hot chocolates are a spiritual experience - best in Wellington. Absolute must for anyone whether you're a local or from elsewhere!”

“Definitely my fave place to go for Italian food! The perfect blend of flavours in the pizza that were not over powering but also not boring either. The food was very well prepared, served hot and service was exceptional. Pasta fabulous texture and taste. Calamari is a MUST! Deserts were wonderful too. Overall, loved the food and vibe here and would come back.”

“2 words....Crazy Good! Thanks to our host Anthony, The Chefs and crew for an outstanding Italian experience. Honestly the best Pasta I've tried. This restaurant is another great addition to the Petone food scene on Jackson. Unbelievable food, exceptional service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks, we will be back for more!”

“The place is really lovely, the food is exceptional, and the staff are super kind! Highly recommended!”

“Family dinner for our babies’ Papa’s 72nd birthday ❤️ Live one man band was awesome tonight.”

“Absolutely flawless, perfect 5 stars! Despite arriving quite late, around 8 pm, I was greeted warmly by the staff, all with genuine smiles. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy and spotlessly clean, with plenty of seating available. The menu was impressively extensive, and the staff graciously guided me through the options with clear explanations. Opting for (Hainanese) chicken rice, I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived promptly in just 5 minutes. The presentation was stunning, and the taste surpassed all expectations. The chicken was juicy and bursting with flavour, complemented perfectly by the fresh and crispy fried onions, freshest sliced cucumber and the subtly tangy soy-based sauce. The homemade chili sauce was also very authentic and a delightful touch. The accompanying chicken soup was also delicious and showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. At $22, the meal was not only delicious but also amazingly good value. Both the attentive waitstaff and the friendly chef made me feel incredibly welcome, leaving me eager to return. With so many enticing dishes left to try, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of being looked after by Tapan at Jardin Grill, and he truly made the entire experience exceptional. From the moment we arrived, his warm welcome and genuine attentiveness set the tone for the evening. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, making us feel both valued and comfortable. Tapan’s knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on”

“We had a lovely time, two mornings in a row. Great service, great food. Amazing coffee. Value for money and opens at 7AM!”

“We hosted our book club in the upstairs room on a Monday night and Colin was super helpful, so accommodating and it was a good central spot for those working in town, while still feeling like we could escape for a couple of hours! We worked our way through a few of the non-alcoholic beer and gin offerings too; appreciated having options for those driving.”

“A place I'd walked past and never been in so, let's do it. Was bigger on the inside than I thought. Has a downstairs with pool tables, who knew. If you're a pokie machine person they have them. A few nice beers, an outside area. All good.”

“Great food—the chicken burger is fantastic and the portions are large. Convenient parking and lovely service from our server, Sharron. Will definitely return!”

“A great place to chill and enjoy the crowds (or army of suits). Very easy to get to, via bus or rail. Food was great beer was too only downside no Stella. Will come again soon :)”

“hiiiiii i saw this cafe on tiktok. i got a french toast and omg they were being generous w the portions but i was able to clear the whole plate. if i were u i’d order 3 bowls of their poached eggs !!!!!!”

“One of my favorite places! Bagels here are very tasty, crunchy and fresh. I also love shakshouka and smoothies!”

“Super delicious sweets, the lemon cheese cake is awesome like everything. The taste is incredible, coffee has a great strong taste. I love the shop. Staff is very friendly”

“This place is fun and the staff were great, but be warned the male female toilets aren't labelled well and it's easy to walk into the wrong one (especially when drunk)”

“The grilled pork on rice was absolutely incredible. It was seriously the best I've had in the city. I also grabbed some spring rolls for an appetizer, and they were a delicious way to kick off the meal. Overall, a fantastic experience. Great food, friendly service”
