This must be a joke because this restaurant is named Fahrenheit…read more We scuttled quickly out of downtown Wellington because it was so busy and parking was a nightmare and stumbled upon Celsius aka Fahrenheit on the way out of town due to the 5-star Yelp review. It wasn't super busy and parking was easy to navigate. I can't remember their clever names, but we essentially ordered 2 lattes plus their eggs Benedict and mince on toast. Coffee was good and strong and well made. Benny was served on a giant hashbrown wedge which was really interesting. However, the entire thing sat heavy in my belly like a brick the entire day. Husband enjoyed his mince on toast. The serving was quite generous and he all but licked his plate clean. I'm not sure if I'd go back as there are a plethora of cool breakfast joints to try in/around Wellington, but it certainly wasn't a bad experience. And, getting away from the downtown crowd was nice.

After a stunning recommendation from my business partner, I visited Celcius with him yesterday…read morewhile on a short business trip to Wellington. First impression, great vibe, cheerful staff and a good menu with stuff this very picky eater would like. The cabinet equally had some yummy food that looked tempting. Unfortunately I was coffee'd out by the time I got to Celcius, but there was a constant stream of people from local businesses' coming in for coffee, so that is always a great indicator.. My meal was a 9/10. The ambience was pleasant and this was mid morning, mid week and it was busy. They also had a variety of coffee beans, plus freshly ground coffee for sale at reasonable prices. Next time in Wellington, I'll make sure I go out of my way just to have a meal here. Well done team !!

I came here to Comes and Goes back in November (yes, I know it's June as I write this but seeing as…read morethere's not many reviews on yelp I feel like I have to do this place a service by being a more recent review) after hopping off our cruise ship to explore Wellington with my wife and some friends, and this cafe sits in a beautiful area of town that's very homey and feels like you're venturing through a hallmark movie. It was small and quiet inside as it was still morning, so the wait staff was all the more attentive and quick to answer any questions we had about the menu. My wife is gluten free, and they were able to accommodate her mushroom toast order with gluten free bread (taste was out of this world, it came with a fried cheese tuile on top that just added so much more savoriness), and my Turkish eggs with halloumi was a light but perfectly satiating plate that had a lot of bold flavors coming from the shakshuka style sauce. Our friends got a seasonal special croissant sandwich as well as their bibimbap plate, and considering they spent the entire time eating and not saying anything I would consider that a resounding "yes this is amazing". They also had an amazing raspberry matcha that was so unbelievably creamy and delicious, I highly recommend trying it with oat milk if that fits your fancy. We were visiting from the US, and the prices I would say are comparable to a First Watch. Reasonable for a nice brunch when you're trying something out in a new city. I'm already planning my next trip out to AUS and NZ, and I know for sure I'm going to make this place a must-stop.

If you can make a bite with a bit of everything - bacon, cream cheese, berry, chocolate, syrup... omg it's EVERYTHING. I'm salivated just writing this! My only complaint was it was freezing in there!

I think she had phyllo and I had salmon quiche and tea for two ($20). We sat at the back where they had cool mural and arts hanging and loads of plants. It was during the lunch rush so the place was packed. Went back a couple of weeks later and tried the ham and brie phyllo, and during my recent trip (June/July 2017), I had the chicken satay phyllo. A nice little cafe to have a quick bite while in the area. They also have sweets/dessert pies which Mumsy and I decided not to have since we were pretty full.

It opened in 1988 and while the neighborhood has changed (and calmed down a bit) and the patrons have changed (and are a bit more mainstream), it's a lively little spot with a fun vibe. Food is served around the clock starting with pastries and pancakes in the morning and moving to burgers and nachos later in the day. What's awesome about Midnight Espresso is that they are open late. Way late. 7:30 am weekdays and 8:00 on weekends, closing at 1:00 am. There's music, there's a fun vibe, there's some history. Five stars. This was the best flat white I had all week across five cities of New Zealand. [Review 468 of 2024 - 119 in New Zealand - round number 21500 overall]

You can buy food from the cabinet or order from the menu. Either way, you order and pay at the counter. The menu is short, but the food is good. My companions and I chose a table in the sheltered patio area, which is very pleasant and even on a very windy Wellington day, it was a nice area to sit. We chose Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon, a Beef Burger with Fries and a style of Big Breakfast (chose poached eggs, spinach, mushroom, tomato and avocado). Everything was great - Beef burger was good, with great chips; Eggs Bennie was lovely (but not much salmon) and the poached eggs and extras were very nice. Very friendly service from the lovely staff. The coffee is very good. We sat, chatted, relaxed and had a very leisurely lunch - an enjoyable meal. We will be back - thank you.
