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.
Just finished brunch here, and have decided that the staff here epitomize what good service looks like. Genuine smiles. Offers of help. Prompt. Excellence.
I marked food down slightly because one of my two poached eggs was slightly overdone. I should have told them I like them very runny.
Also, I've decided that sourdough sounds great but is nearly always tough. I think I'd prefer a grainy Mollenberg actually.
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.
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.
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.
What a lovely find on a day in town. Our table in the arcade was quiet and surrounded by lovely shops. The Vietnamese salad with chicken was superb: fresh and tasty. Was wonderful.
Cozy small cafe with really good ,friendly staff, we ordered 🇻🇳 Vietnamese salad and a beef burger. Both of them were delicious.
If you don't mind the crowded and small space, definitely try it 👌👌
Coffee is always excellent. Was close to closing with 30 mins to go. Watched a staff member ask a family to move their pram with baby in it so she could remove the mat to clean. Surely this could have waited and the family could have enjoyed their purchases in peace?
Good food, coffee ok.... nice place
