What a cute little cafe, very reasonable food, half size servings, which was wonderful. Very hot coffee and friendly service. Only drawback was my scrambled eggs were cooked at too high a heat so made my toast slightly soggy. Not a biggie!
Service was excellent very friendly and generous. Coffee pretty good not the best i have had,. The selection of sweet treats very very tempting. Some GF which is good. Their Tuna/cucumber sammies very good value.
My local cafe. Love their rissotto cake and although I always get sleepy afterwards (gluten and me are not friends), I am a little addicted to their egg and ham/tuna cucumber club sandwiches. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Never had any bad food here in hundreds of visits.
We are a group of six cousins – all seniors – who regularly meet here for lunch. Always a fun outing: staff are great and whatever food we try we enjoy. Prices are displayed and are perfectly reasonable.

What I love about Novella is that we ALWAYS get a really good coffee, unlike other places that can be hit and miss. Lovely scones and muffins too. Cabinet food always looks inviting and staff always friendly.
Melodie must have been having a bad hair day. We have had lunch at Cafe Novella several times and each time have had great food served by friendly staff. We like it not only because it has great food but the owners are there also providing the right atmosphere/
Firm favourite. Owners Paul and Kim always welcoming and fun, making this unassuming cafe a keystone community hub. Great coffee too
Tuesday's at Novella are cinnamon scrolls day. These are probably the best cinnamon scrolls. In. The. World. We arrive early to get ours while they're still warm. The coffee and service are excellent too.
Stumbled across this cafe by chance after we followed a roadworks detour. A great atmosphere, staff were all very lovely. Food was great, loved the rosti's.
I love this place!
Best bacon and egg sandwich I have had.
Don’t get me started on the pinwheels, they are delicious and come in a variety of flavours.
If you are in Kapiti or just traveling through this is a must!
Delicious toasted sandwich and great coffee. Staff are lovely too. And not super noisy which makes it really relaxing as a place to meet a friend for a chat
Delicious breakfast great coffees and lovely service.
Busy bustling cafe with good coffee and food - beside the library.
As I only had the sweet chilly pinwheel can't comment on other foods but if it's like the pinwheel absolutely delishes. Inside and outside seating and dogs allowed on the outside areas
Good coffee and friendly staff. Situated right next to the library.
Sep2021: 8am catchup. Coffee was good.
L2 here with mandatory mask wearing into premises(read it as you want for cafes) required from all patrons.. Unless exempt.. While enjoying my coffee time here, I was annoyed to see 4 times 4 customers walk in without a mask, 2 holding masks in hand, order coffee, and talk to staff while waiting. How unfair for the staff.. Conflicts arise here, they want to keep the clients who did not show excemption cards as customers.. But, what about the rest of us, and there were afew..watching this.(Probably 6 elderly patrons wore masks)
June2021: early morning catchup with a friend and a really GOOD coffee.
