Gourmet ingredient sourcing in Wellington

“EXCELLENT. I wish we had one where I live. The baked goods are very high quality.”

“Absolutely fantastic! Coffee is great. Atmosphere really easy and rustic (just as I love it. Something that I really loved is that they promote the use of your own cup instead of paper goblets (go green!) They also make their own pizzas. So far, the cheapest café I had in New Zealand”

“Great staff, great atmosphere, they let me have a coffee in their uncovered courtyard which was a god send for the heavily autistic person that I am. 10/10”

“One of the best (if not THE best) burger I've had in Wellington! And I've tried many. Also, ordering a fully plant-based option is super easy. They even have vegan milkshakes! Fully recommend it. I will keep coming back.”

“Visiting the city and found an excellent spot for exceptional coffee. On a sunny day, the best place to enjoy it is the outdoor terrace upstairs - quieter, more spacious, and refreshingly open, perfect for a leisurely breakfast and long conversations. The service is warm, welcoming, almost joyous, with staff who appear genuinely enthusiastic, accommodating, and efficient. Though the space is compact, the atmosphere is full of heart. Had a very lovely experience here. Thanks Frank’s and Wellington!”

“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.”

“The flat white was the best I have had in Wellington. The service was outstanding. We had a takeaway order and they were so helpful. Thank you. Rob and Maddy”

“Having a local coffee shop that sells fair trade, organic coffee sets this cool little place apart from all others in this area. This particular coffee hit the spot!!”

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

“I’m sorry but how have I never been here before in my 14 years living in Wellington. Such a cosy nook, blink and you’ll miss it. the last Bastian of a cheap eggs on toast in Wellington if you will. AND mayoral candidate Rob Gouldon was seated there wearing a massive ribbon like a prize- what a treat. I’ll be back a million times over”

“Always go here its a great wee shop.”

“Everything was splendid. Well cooked. The staff were all great. The steamed fish was so fresh and taste was great. Didn't have small change for tip when paying :( hope this compensates”

“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.”

“Aubergine is our favourite restaurant in Wellington and we go there for every special occasion. This time it was my wife's birthday. As always, we were treated to a lovely evening with attentive service, fine wine and a beautiful meal. Aubergine has just the right ambience for an intimate evening dinner, the food has never been less than excellent and we are made to feel very welcome.”

“The atmosphere was lovely and the food was great. The only feedback from my partner was that the breakfast could’ve included beans, and his smoothie seemed more like juice than a proper smoothie. Aside from that, my meal was delicious and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming.”

“Great value, service is always faster than I expect, honest and tasty! Haven't tried their pizzas yet, but the coffee and bagels are great.”

“There’s been a change and we’ve noticed. Best burgers in Wellington. Worth the drive to eat watching the water. 5 stars all day!!”

“The best coffee in Wellington. The best staff. Even though I work up the opposite end of town I come straight here from the train before walking to work.”

“I love the coffee of red rabbit! Awesome service and the best coffee ever!”

“Best New York-style bagels a former NY family has found in New Zealand, yet! Perfect texture and flavour; we missed that 'chew' (unlike the 'bread-like' density of other local bagels we've tried) and these guys provide it. A+++”

“Awesome selection of products, good prices, and the owners are super nice, really friendly and helpful. 10/10, definitely recommend!”

“Great selection, and so convenient having a local store. Had to do an emergency run for baking supplies tonight - so glad you were open this late! Am loving the free shopping deliveries this month. Also, a huge thanks to Chirag and the NW team for supporting our school fundraiser.”

“Nice guy, always has the things I’m looking for and is a good yarn.”
