Cafe in Wellington

“I recently visited Extra Extracafe and was genuinely impressed. The coffee was rich and flavorful, brewed to perfection, and the food was equally delightful—fresh, well-prepared, and full of taste. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made the experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. A great spot for both a quick coffee break and a relaxed meal. Highly recommended!”

“Delicious and well priced breakfast. The halloumi was very good and not too salty prepared to perfection, the eggs were amazing. The service was quick and great and they were able to accomodate my dietary needs without any issues and they added more food to compensate for the substitutes I had to make. We really enjoyed the experience.”

“Amazing !! The food was delicious and the service was fantastic.!”

“Always looking for places to have a healthy but tasty lunch, I found this beautiful café. I had a cauliflower salad with poached eggs, and it was amazing. And last but not least, the service was outstanding. I’ll come back for sure!!”

“Many seating arrangements V good customer service Our food was devine. See pictures Good coffee Highly recommend Thanks!”

“I came to Antalya Kebab House for lunch, and I really enjoyed it. The kebab was big, had a nice amount of meat and veggies, and the hot sauce was nicely spicy. The chips were nice as well, and I appreciated the student discount. Will be returning.”

“What a lovely place. We’re passing through Welly and with our ferry delayed we looked for a spot for brekkie, picked the best place. Service so friendly and they were accommodating to our little Maltese girl. Delicious pastry and food in general.”

“We have been going to Polo for the last years with good reason. The coffee and kai are consistently delicious and the service friendly, efficient and comfy. Today we were back for a for brekky, when before the first bite our son started being sick and we quickly had to get out of there. Briar and the team were amazing, they quickly pulled together what we needed, no judgements, and kindly packed up what was left of our order. Thank you team.”

“When I stay in Wellington I come to this lovely little cafe, it feels like it's a great part of the community, with the staff taking the time to know their customers. Such a nice vibe. They know everyone by name and make a huge effort. Happy Friday Eve!”

“Love this place for a quiet midweek lunch. Excellent selection of lovely Pies, and Im also a fan of their Hallume bagels. Nice coffee, my teens always look forward to the milkshakes.”

“Good service and food was delicious. I hadn't realized that some of the dishes needed to be ordered in advance but our group of 7 were very happy with the dishes we were able to order tonight. They didn't have savignon (which is what I normally drink), but I tried the pinot gris and liked it, so all good.”

“One of the best local cafes you can find. Brilliant service and great food. Don't go there, I want to make sure there is room for me.”

“The surroundings are austere, but the food is outstanding - if you are a meat eater (they also have a wide rage of vegetarian dishes) I would recommend the Brisket, it has a touch of aniseed, and would be my personal favourite if it wasn't for the Spicy Ribs, they make my jaw lock just thinking about them. The Orange Beef is good and the deep fried Squid is to die for. There wouldn't be a food establishment in Wellington or probably NZ where you can get great food and great service for $20 a dish. I recommend you go with a few friends, select a dish each and share - you won't be disappointed.”

“Noticed this unique fusion Malaysian place every time I visit the Op Shop next door. Went in for a quick lunch and a coffee with two kids in tow. End up getting Russian dumplings, curry puff, sausage roll and oat flat white. The curry puff was spot on, the kids love it. Russian dumplings was a first for me, delightful. Will come back again for more Malaysian offerings.”

“Very busy and lively cafe offering lots of healthy varieties and desserts. Offers daily lunch specials (photo: chicken satay with rice), as well as healthy sandwich, salad and wraps. Vegan friendly. Good coffee. Quick and friendly service. Mostly for take away, as seating space is limited.”

“OMG!!! Their mince and cheese pies are so amazing! It's hamlnds down the best mince and cheese pie in Wellington. No corn flour gravey, just deliciously flavored mince, really nice cheese and pastry that is perfection. Their cookie caramel slice is also a must have. The staff are rad too! I know they had to close for a bit for earthquake strengthening work on their building. Myself and the rest of island bay are so super chuffed to see their back in busines. I also think their pies are even better than before they closed.”

“We come here almost every week. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious and there are lots of options (both menu and cabinet items). There is a nice peaceful atmosphere with good seating options inside and outside. Can't recommend enough :)”

“Been on my bucket list like forever, finally got to try it for the first time!! And oh my lord I should've come here earlier.... Food was great, staff awesome, coffee good. Had the scrambled tofu and it's so flavorful! Will definitely be coming back!”

“Great food and very fast service. It's smaller than most cafes inside of Palmers so does get full quick during peak times. Great spot for people that love avocado as they are always generous with any dish that has it. Nice spot for an afternoon catchup in the sun.”

“A relaxing shaded cafe on a hot day; ample range of treats for us gluten free people. Really good coffee; no hint of bitterness. There was even a beautifully executed picture of a swan in my foam. Thanks Shine staff!”

“we absolutely loved this place. it was recommended by a co worker as a meat place, but in my opinion I enjoyed better other things. I enjoyed the tempura oysters and the croquetas , incredible tasty. the dessert was also perfect. The meat was good, but personally I don't enjoy when the put so many sauces to what in where in my opinion the main flavour should be the meat only. In the menu it did say it would have a sauce, but I thought it would be on the side! and they actually put 2 different sauces !! way too much! The environment and service were both up to point and the restaurant had a retro European feel which we loved. We are definitely going back for more , sooner rather than later ! (sauces on the side this time)”

“KC has been around for a very long time and rarely closes. Their food is always consistent and they serve up till quite late in the night. Menu is extensive and you’ll often end up wanting to replace your initial choice as there’s too many to choose from! My favourite is the black pepper pork chop and deep fried squid (which you need to eat while it’s hot). The place is often packed so be ready to do takeaways or hang around till one is available. Toilets are at the back however do be careful as the floor might be a tad slippery.”

“Unbelievable cafe! Super busy though so plan to wait, but totally worth the wait. Staff are amazing at juggling tables and customers, a very well run team. Amazing food! I got the big breakfast and added hollandaise, a Vienna coffee and takeaway too as coffee was so good! Hands down one of the best cafes around. Plus it’s on the beach so you can go for a walk on beach afterwards! Will be back for-sure!”

“A lovely cafe on Jackson St with heaps of cabinet food and full menu available. Portions are huge so do take that into consideration if you’re a light eater. Daily specials are often changing on the blackboard. Extremely friendly service and dogs are allowed at the rear of the cafe. It does get busy on weekend mornings so bookings are essential. Lots of parking but be prepared for a wee stroll if it’s busy.”

“I've been to a lot of kebab places around Lower Hutt, and this place beats them all. Great price kebabs, generous portions, and they are juicy without getting soggy. The meat was grilled well, with good sized pieces and lots of crispy bits, and the kebab was wrapped so that you don't have to fight the tinfoil away before you can eat it. I also had the baklava, which at $8 is on the pricier side, but it was a good portion with plenty of syrup nuts and crunchy pastry. Today was my 3rd time here, and it will be my go-to kebab shop from now on.”

“To be fair the cafe was empty when we arrived. Gorgeous food.”

“Really awesome cafe to have in the heart of Brooklyn, Friendly staff, great service and top it off good coffee, and the food looks amazing,”

“It takes more than 40 minutes to get the food, but it's worth it :) Bunch of sea food in the burger, so I fee like it is different menu not burger haha but very tasty and unique. Good to try for 2024 wellington on a plate.”

“Enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch with a glass of French Chardonnay at Tartines Cafe while visiting Eastbourne. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere seated in their covered courtyard on a beautiful sunny winters day. The staff were friendly and attentive. Tartines welcome dogs which was an added bonus as we had driven out to Eastbourne to take her for a walk. We also noticed they had a lovely selection of frozen takeaway meals so we popped back on our way home and bought a couple of delicious looking soups that are very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.”

“I really like their Matcha Latte! Soy Milk option for a cost. They also stock a few vegan treats.”
