We ordered the porridge, which is (according to the menu) supposed to come with saisonal fruit. The porridge itself was well-made and tasty, but the “saisonal fruit” consisted of two small segments of clementine (no exaggeration here, TWO segments) and that’s it. When I asked for additional fruit, the waitress rolled her eyes at me and added three more segments. The avocado spread was delicious but fridge-cold and therefore, in addition to the cold, untoasted bread resulted in a cold poached egg.Pro: Quality of ingredients, variety of interesting breakfast dishes, delicious coffee, inviting interior.

Tasty specials, good friendly service even tho they were full which is nice. Flavourful with fresh ingredients. Everything was served warm and we'll presented. Make good use of the outside seatings on a sunny Wellington day with sunscreen, some tables have umbrellas.

Popped in after lunch hoping for a quick drink and snack. Took ages to get coffees. Not sure if understaffed, disinterested staff or inefficient process to blame. Other patrons heard complaining brought the atmosphere score down too. My first visit so can't say if standards dropping or an unlucky day.

Great place. Coffee was lovely. The food was great. Avocado toast tasted wonderful. The porridge was great. The scone was delicious, tad more muffin like but still very yummy.

Great place to go if you like to be ignored by staff. My partner and I have been here multiple times and every single time we have been ignored for 10+ minutes while everyone around us gets served. We’ve either had to wave someone over or go up to the counter to order. Last time we just walked out and won’t be returning.

Very disappointing and appalling customer service. Arrived on Mother's Day for a special brunch and they said even though we had a reservation we had to to sit outside. It was a particularly cold day and nobody wanted to sit outside. When we asked why we could not sit inside when there were many free tables available they said, they were booked and could not be given to us. It was not clear what criterion was being used to direct some guests outside and some inside, especiall when we had asked for an inside table . Asked to speak to the manager and it turned out that was whom we were speaking with. She was intransigent with the best being offered was some blankets we could use to cover our laps. That was clearly not acceptable and we left to go elsewhere.
