I ordered the scrambled eggs with bacon and my friend ordered the muesli. The eggs were very wet and not fully cooked, borderline raw and could not be finished. The bacon was not very flavorful or salty. However the toast was crusty and well-buttered. The muesli had a bitter aftertaste to it. There are other cafes with better quality food and similar or cheaper prices. The staff were very helpful and friendly though. Shame about the food.

Two days ago I came here specifically because I read that the eggs benedict was amazing; that turned out to be an understatement. "Best I've ever had" is more accurate, but I was really hungry and specifically craving it, so maybe that was all it was? So this morning I'm less hungry and not specifically craving eggs benedict, but decided to come back and order the same thing, just to see if it held up. Yep. It did.
The cafe has a really nice feel to it, with views of the intersection of Victoria and Bond streets, and an open floorplan. Not private if that's your thing, but it never felt cramped even when there were a lot of people nearby. Definitely going to be frequenting this place if I land a job in the CBD.

I've always had a good experience here - either with breakfast/lunch or just getting a takeaway coffee before work. The menu is decent and all day breakfast is a plus. Staff are always super friendly and accommodating.

Absolutely lovely place to visit, fantastic coffee on order (would recommend the affogato) ordered the breakfast burrito which was quite leafy but very filling. Unfortunately the service was a little slow, waited 25mins for my lunch when the cafe was only half full during lunch hour rush

Amazing coffee and delicious breakfast.

Amazing coffee and delicious breakfast.
Had two cappuccinos as the first wasn't enough and their big breakfast was amazing! Too bad I'm not from Wellington, otherwise it would be my go to breakfast place.

YUM! Tried this cafe for the first time and we're glad we did. My partner's omelette was plump and delicious and I had the pancakes which were fresh, fluffy and layered with lots of bacon and banana. Great value for food.

Good poached eggs....am surprised about how many cafes don't do it well, but these guys were spot on. Coffee is good too. A bit of a long wait for table service not sure if they were short staffed on the day I visited.

A special breed of idiot runs this place. How they have lasted 10 years I don't know. My parter and I spent $10 on a muffin and coffee for her as I'd found somehwere to buy a pie from minutes before. We sat outside their quiet cafe with plenty of seating and he thought it would be okay to come out, tell us to move on elsewhere as I had a pie from another store. He then continued to yell at us in front of his customers out on the street. I was even considering buying more from his menu until he told us and another couple to leave and make way for his imaginary customers. I'm appalled.

Relatively small cafe and quite popular lunch place. If coming with group of more than 4 people I would suggest booking a table ahead of time. They offer menu options and some lighter meals from the counter.

Ate here when I landed in Wellington and the next day as well so the food and coffee is definitely good.

Had the big breakfast the first time and Open Omelette the second time. Food was delicious both times.

Service was great as well. Everyone was friendly and it's a really nice place to come have a cup of coffee while taking a break.
