Nice food but a bit overpriced. Quirky little place.

Lovely cafe in the middle of the arcade. Near the clock to be able to watch it chime and do it's movement on the hour. A good selection of food and staff very friendly and helpful. Central to a lot of places in downtown Wellington.

Such a lovely cafe and right next to Starbucks. Where as Starbucks had a 20 min wait time, Smith and Grocer prepared the lovely coffee in record time ! We also had a chicken panini which was full of flavour and fresh. Orange Almond cake was moist and just right in flavour. Would definitely go there again next time we are in Welly.

Nice premise, lots of yummy food to choose from. Panini was great and had a lot of fillings. Banana chocolate bread was very tasty. The scone was delicious. Wait time is good even when busy. This is our go-to place for lunch when we are in Wellington shopping for the day.

I do like a friendly reception at a cafe! Makes such a difference and everything tastes better! The mere fact they agreed to a team photo speaks volumes.

Beautiful food in the cabinet and from kitchen, elegant atmosphere, and well presented. Ive had kedgeree, frittata, signature ginger slice, and wonderful salads.Dont let it disappear...This cafe deserves your support during these pandemic times!

Nice cafe, airy and bright, in an historic arcade. Great coffee, nice cakes and sandwiches, as well as an all day menu and lunchtime blackboard specials.

We came here as a family out of all other options because it looked nice and had a good atmosphere about the place.I ordered the Avo and Tomato and it tasted bland, however the presentation of it was great, except the bread that it was on was quite cold.I got my daughter the Free Range eggs with toast, the eggs were cold and sloppy.The menu on the wall is next to a table that had people on blocking the view, kind of awkward.The staff were nice, but overall experience poor I expected better.

I finally got to have a proper breakfast on my last day in Welly. It took a minute to find a place as the hotel I stayed at was quite out of the way so after checking out the hunt was on. Happened upon this place after walking past a couple that didn't really take my fancy. I liked my meal except for the tomatoe. I usually ask that it be removed but I totally forgot this time. Also ordered my usual Earl Grey with milk and it was nice and I think the brand is from Wellington. Staff appeared stressed and/or tired because they weren't that friendly or welcoming. I'm not a morning person myself but as a tourist this would've made a difference and added another star to my review. Great location and a variety of seating available (when it is available).

Lovely staff, lovely food and coffee in a beautiful heritage building. Smith the Grocers has been a favourite for many years. The fact it has withstood the test of time proves it is one of the best. - go and enjoy
