I went for lunch mid-week with three colleagues and there was probably 20 people ahead of us, so we waited around 15 minutes to get our table. The menu has a good range of options, from snacks to full meals. We had cheese burgers, smoked salmon salad and fish of the day. They didn't take too long, were presented nicely and served at the same time. The burgers looked great, I had the smoked salmon salad - fresh fish and good quality ingredients. I enjoyed it. Our business lunch was over in an hour so that was great. I would come back, thank you.

(Not bad need a small amount of honey me thinks) They have a great array of cakes ,scones and muffins but as I don't have a sweet tooth so can't really say. They have great reviews for pizza and I see a old fashioned pizza oven but not tried either ;-) So what the hell I'm Waffling on about ? Can't comment on food but a very nice little stop and keep going a few hundred yards after your coffee then you walk in the parade with great sea views Only thing bothered me is they have wifi but wont share. Best if they hide wifi signal as not to get people wound up (or is that just me )

This gives an interesting 'manly' touch to this place that has art on the walls and creative atmosphere. The customers are families from the neighbourhood but surprisingly many travel from Wellington. Once you get to know this place you want to come back. The coffee (Ripe) is good and food is also tasty and fresh. Groudup is a good destination for a little trip to indulge in food and coffee with friends or just pleasantly alone.
