Decided to visit Scorching Bay and get some grub @scorchoramacafe. A hidden gem loved by locals in Wellington, they serve coffee, tea, milkshakes, brunch/lunch favourites with a lovely beach + scenic view.
Buttermilk Chook Burger + Fries 🍔🍟 $20
The chips were cooked with the right crunch and amount of oil. In addition, I also enjoyed the chicken burger on each and every bite 👍🏽. Firstly, I got a generous portion of well-cooked, juicy chicken breast 🐓 and appreciated the freshness of the ingredients 🍅🧅🧀 used in the burger. Definitely worth the price and was filling all around.
Lime Milkshake🥤$7
Loved the liked milkshake. Had the right amount of lime flavour in the shake and was not too sickly or sweet. The milkshake was fairly thick considering that I opted for skin and not regular milk🥛.
Final Words
Great first experience and long overdue being that I am a lifetime local. Loved the Spyro 🐉 table + artwork 🎨 and the laid-back vibe offered to customers. I'll definitely be back to try out the brunch 🍳and coffee.
Love the location! You can enjoy great food with a nice view of scorching bay. The seafood chowder was large and full of seafood. It was still a bit cold with breeze outside but without sunlight, it was fine. The chowder also helped me warm up. The ciabatta went well with the chowder also
After reading all the bad reviews we still decided to dine here, Father’s Day breakfast, 10am and were very busy, the chowder was delicious the Rama lama dung dong was okay, eggs been and fish and chips were average the eggs in both meats were cooked to perfection though the ambience was of hustle and bustle every one flat out busy, our waiter seemed rushed I helped him clear our table which he was ever so great full I felt bad for him, the owners may need to invest in dedicated table clearers at least three and the FOH can just meet greet seat and serve the customers we will be back we weren’t put off at all by the business but I think more table clearers will ease the load
Love it! Love the view love the location. Beautiful coffee and delicious food. Staff are very friendly as well. Definitely would come back next time we are down in Welly
Nice place with amazing views. Orders Fish and chips (Fush and Chups). Liked the two sauces along with the dish. Generous fish and chips serving. Taste wise it was good/decent. Loved the views and the staff was friendly and attentive :)
Amazing serving size on the eggs bene. Everything was on point. My only issue was the hollandaise sauce was a bit too average. Could have been compensated if maybe they slap some cream cheese on the bagel? but thats a bit naughty hehe
Dropped in here for a couple of takeaway coffees and an ice cream on a busy afternoon. The service was friendly and casual, which matched the laid back feel of the premises. The young staff were on the ball and knocked out a couple of great coffees and the ice cream in no time. Keep up the good work team, and cheers for your efforts.
Friendly service/ table for 9/ all orders arrived within 20 mins/ Le toast great, compote balanced out the sweetness of the toast/ ding dong eggs bland.
It’s a stunning place on a stunning day!
The interior is absolutely stunning!
The service is excellent and the staff were super friendly.
They serve up really good coffee too.
Headed straight here for Sunday lunch. So popular and busy but they found space for party of four. Very nice Salmon bagel and one finds they are never to old for a spider drink. Great views. And also great help with our cryptic crossword from the waiter.
It was a beautiful sunny day in Karaka Bay. Enjoyed the spot on the beach side deck. Service was great;.waiting staff crossing the road to get food and drinks to your alfresco table is quirky. Beautiful view and delicious food and fantastic beverages.
You cannot beat Wellington on a great day!
We had a delicious breakfast at this lovely restaurant across from Scorching Bay. I had the pancakes with berry compote and banana. It was very good, especially the berry compote. My son had an egg breakfast with bacon, potatoes and toast. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend dining here.
A great escape from the city, on a good sunny day, even on a gloomy day. With unbeatable views, you can't go wrong with this venue. It accommodates most crowds, bring in your dog, kids, date, family or friends.
The delivery of food did take longer than usual but we did attend on a WOAP day so hoping it's in relation to that and not the usual service because the staff were both friendly and accommodating.
The Captain America oreo milkshake was the best milkshake I've ever had!
Generous portions. Well thought out menu (full of dad jokes), and skilled chefs. They're pricey but I think that's because you're paying for the view.
They're open every day, while most other places in Motu Kairangi are closed Monday/Tuesday.
Their soy milks is a bit nasty, so get a long black instead.
It's a good place next to the beach and awesome customer service with friendly staff l. Highly recommend
Best coffee I’ve ever had. Hands-down.
Entertaining atmosphere With nostalgic movie references. We enjoyed the puns hidden in the menu and the service.
They have amazing views of the mountains so you could have breakfast and also enjoy the surroundings around you.
It’s a must for visitors and tourists, and a regular spot for locals.
Lovely brunch place with very nice view on the water. Staff was very nice and friendly, and suggested various places to visit in the Wellington area. Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone in the area!
What a beauty. Decorated with all things comic book and superheroes. Stunning views of the Cook Strait, watching the ferry’s go by and the seagulls trying their luck. We got nachos, full breakfast and eggs Benedict. All well enjoyed. As well as milkshakes and thick shakes.
Gets very busy beyond 9:30am. Food is gorgeous. Great little café in a cool spot. There is parking but it is limited (and most customers do drive in). On a bus route - go for that if you have the time.
What a unique place to eat! Glad we ate here the food was excellent. We got the special and really enjoyed it. They had a fantastic tea selection which we loved!
A word of warning: it is loud in here. The sound dampening is nonexistent so if you want something quiet this isn’t for you.
