Came here for a little brunch date. Surprised to see good portion on the plate. Price is a little above average but considering its quality and taste, it is great for its price.
I loved their Waffles and their coffee.
Interior is very minimalistic and warm. The niche/cut-out between the kitchen and dining space brings the kitchen to the customers, creating coherence.
This place is busy everyday to say the least. On the weekends, it does get a little crowded in the mornings so you will need to be patient with the staff and the slight noise you get. Other than that, a great experience overall. Would definitely come back for brunch.
8/10
My first time and honestly won’t be my last time. I think I finally found my calling. It was super busy when I arrived but was greeted with a smile and was told the table won’t be too long of a wait and as I was waiting for my friend I didn’t mind it at all. 5-10 mins later I was shown to my table, while I waited for my friend I soaked in the busy vibe and the ambience. This place is so funky and neat and I absolutely loved their menu, it’s simple food made amazingly delicious. Service was lovely, expected delays as they were super busy but once you get your delicious food in front of you , you are in heaven !! The most delicious hot chocolate ever !!! Highly Recommend!!!
I really enjoyed the Acme salad 🥗 with roasted chicken 🐓 and Zany Zeus Haloumi. The flavours were well balanced and I especially loved the avocado 🥑 purée. Goes nicely with the sour-dough bread 🍞 . Also wanted to share my pics of my last visit, where I had a delicious sea-salt caramel filled doughnut and of course, another version of Acme salad.
If you are a local or are visiting Wellington and are looking for a reputable + modern cafe vibe, would definitely check out Prefab🙃

Very busy, with 5 groups in front of us, waiting. These were moved to tables reasonably quickly. Coffee excellent! Food very worth the wait. A totally repeatable experience. Walking out and saw more dishes being served that could have had me turn round, return and eat more. The pastries by the cashier were also incredibly inviting. Highly recommended.
The staff can be rude if you are going with a group of younger people. There also can be a large wait. The food is very nice though and is a good place to bring groups as there is something for everyone
This cafe has such a nice eye catching exterior and interior. The coffee & kitchen area was massive going across the whole store, so good to see everything going on. Took around 5 -7 mins to get us seated, not sure what was going on, there was empty seats ,but lots of staff wondering around?? The staff greeted us and just went on talking to other people and seating some other people ?? Anyways .. Menu had lots of good options and staff tell you about their specials as well. I got the egg Benedict and filter coffee. Egg bene was amazing as it sits under a bed of potatoes, salmon was delicious with a beautiful sweet juicy sauce (probably cured in that) I haven’t had something similar in Auckland so this made a big impression to me. Will definitely return next time I’m down in welly :)
So glad my friend and I decided to try out Prefab a few weeks ago!
We ordered the Poached Egg on Acme Sourdough with Bacon and Halloumi ❤️
We did order something else, but I don't remember what it was called 🤔. Nonetheless it was very good! 😁 (in pictures).
Loved the Mocha!
My friend who isn't a coffee lover, loved the Cappuccino!
The home made bread is to die for!
So yesterday we decided to head back there with a group of 11, each of whom were very impressed!
A little on the pricier side for me, however visiting once in a while would be worth it.
Great ambience, good music and friendly staff 😊
You'd be a fool if you didn't try the cabinet pastries. Vanilla bean custard in those danishes got me feeling some type of way. Caprese panini as it should be. Cleanest porridge I've ever tasted. You'll see what I mean.
Had the avo toast with dukkah, Halloumi and this beautiful beetroot sauce + bacon.
Two things that stood out was the bacon that I came for. I believe it’s maple glazed so it’s sweet, salty and it’s a thick slice!! So so good!! I’d say it’s the best slice of bacon I’ve had ever! It’s that good!
Then the beetroot sauce. I wish they’d sell this cause it’s just sweet but not too much and it compliments everything on the dish. It’s the perfect consistency too.
My waiter said that it’s her favourite and so glad she recommenced me this!
I’d love to come her again so so good!!
Prefab always has very friendly attentive staff. I find it hard to choose something from the menu or cabinet because it all looks so delicous- and then it is. Love the open flowing feel and ambiance, fresh flowers and current, relevant decor. My partner wanted to knock off a star because their chairs have strange metal backs and are super uncomfortable, choosing design over function. This didn't bother me at all so 5 stars it is.
Very busy but staff were still speedy with service which is always a plus.
Food is amazing, but prefab never disappoints. Fresh produce, amazing flavour balance, quality ingredients, large portions, value for money. Not usually a coffee fan but I appreciate theirs every time.
Two of us arrived here at 12:15pm today on Monday. It’s a big restaurant but all the tables were taken except some chairs at a high table. They have 3 big sharing tables. About 1pm some people were waiting at the door as the place was pretty full. Yes, it is Monday but the amount of people wanting to dine here is quite overwhelming. A very popular place. No wonder they don’t need to open during the weekends. As we expected, the food and service were superb. I had Today’s fish, that was blue cod with a creamy mustard sauce. $30. Delicious. My friend had their salad. $21. It is quite substantial, and she was very happy. To finish our lunch, we shared an almost croissant. Mmm that was so good. She had bottomless filter coffee and I had a café latte. Such a great lunch experience! We totally recommend this place.
We were looking for a place to have breakfast this morning. We got here and we were really surprised by the elegance of the place. We ordered eggs + avocado + bacon / Hallumi + cappuccino + detox drinks ( green and read). Everything was really appreciated - except red detox. Free wifi and parking place not far.. additional good reasons to give it a try 😅! 🇳🇿🥝🙏
Wonderful. Very attentive staff. Very popular.strong own roasted coffee. Also a bakery. Highly recommended
This is a masterclass on how to run a cafe!
The interior is super cool with expansive seating available. We didn’t have any issues getting a table & felt instantly welcome when we were greeted.
The staff exude professionalism and absolutely carve up their role in the machine. It was really impressive.
Coffee was 10/10, perfectly balanced and made with care. I had the mushrooms which was a generous serving, succulent & a taste sensation. They sat on a piece of grainy bread with a poached egg on top.
As a big cafe head, I was stoked to visit Prefab & highly recommend it to those looking for a great meal out.
Architecturally a beautiful designed space. Large open plan with plenty of seating. Wheelchair and stroller accessible. Washrooms too. Great homemade sourdough breads and they can slice them for you. Service is friendly and helpful. Coffee good and breakfast 😋 yum
Delicious food, I love that the waitress suggested I could get a half serve.
The best coffee in Wellington! Salad was delicious too and service was quick efficient and friendly. A must visit spot.
Great vibes, lots of seating but very busy! It’s easy to see why, the coffee was well made, their food are not too adventurous but that’s not a bad thing, because they just focused on making everything delicious. Their sausage was one of the best I’ve had at a cafe.
A bit loud with music. Avocado was not ripe. Food was decent.
