We tried the caramel cake - not too sweet and very moist crumb with a not too sweet cream cheese (?) and caramel icing, served with whipped cream. Good value for $6.50 NZD, coffee and cappuccino were solid. Lots of delicious offerings in the case and a few savory options as well like lasagna, blue cheese and bacon croissants. The place is full of locals meeting up for coffee and sweets. Good vibe, good wifi (you have to ask for the code) only downfall is that the bathrooms are in the back and you have to go outside to get to them. If we were ever in the area we would definitely return.

We enjoyed a fine lunch at this very nicely situated cafe. It was busy and we couldn't get a table…read moreoutside, but inside was fine. The food was good - pulled pork tacos and caesar salad burgers with excellent fries. Coffee was above par. There was a 45 minute wait that stretched to 1 hour, but the place was busy at 12:30 and we were not in a hurry. Some of us were locals (wellington) and one ex-pat visiting from the states. A good stop on the way to the east coast. Excellent food, almost lost a star for the delay but it's popular and a peak time.

Went out for the wood fired pizza night (every fri from 5:30pm during summer). Great tasting…read moreexcellent service a little while to wait but we were happy talking over a bowl of fries. They can only cook 3 at a time. Will go again for lunch and dinner the food was that good

The decor is very basic and its quite simply a house thats been remodelled into a place for the ravening horde. We went in a large group but the staff were able to handle it well. I (of course, carnivore that I am) ordered the steak, and it was impressive. The meal was delicious, the staff were somewhat attentive and the atmosphere was fun. The prices were a little high to be honest, but everything I saw across the table was of high quality.

Went here for brunch this week. Nice atmosphere, spacious and has a few comfy booths.

I got scrambled eggs on ciabatta with a sausage- cost $14 and was absolutely delicious, good sized serving. Overall is very good, the best part is being able to tailor your dish to your liking

With easy parking on the street, some casual seating inside for those that want to linger and a small but nice choice of sweet things to go along with your brew, this is one of my favourite stops. Don't forget to grab some freshly roasted beans.

Cold winter's day July 1 along busy George Street, parking a tad tuff round 530pm, seated in a cozy rear table under a massive heat pump in the cavernous big ol' restaurant/ cafe = we were there for evening meal - a couple and a nine year old. BYO wine policy still in place happily - the feature losing it's popularity with new restauranteurs it seems - we brought a lovely Pinot Noir along for the occasion. Scratch made food on the dinner menu still - slipped a notch from a decade ago - based on yesterday's experience - a 4 rather than previous 5 star - but better than 'ok' duck - missed a couple of our orders - forgot one completely and 'switched' calamari into slightly rubbery prawns - coffees were superb - kiddie meal of chicken n chips was better than ours. Service is spotty - occasional bright stars - but again NOT at the TOP level of year's past - we've been coming here a LONG time. Prices have crept UP whilst quality of 'cheffing' down is a loss of one star on overall rating BUT would return based on the experience, and recommend BARISTA
