Great coffee, had the gourgeres which were delicious. The only feedback I would give is that the prices are slightly too high for what you get.

Tout le mond, this cafe is the perfect place to sink your teeth into food worth actually paying for. None of this Seashore Cabaret, Zany Zeus rubbish. Give me fine dining! Anyway, the best French patisserie in Wellington for sure. Today, I ventured off with my friend (Croissant_Muncher) to this little gem in Kaiwharawhara in the hopes we could resurrect the rapidly declining sense of quality our tastebuds have so unfortunately succumbed to over the past year or so. First thing to note is that this place feels authentic. You walk through the door and you feel transported to a modern twist on a classic French bakery. The decor screams French Revolution with its industrial chic architectural aesthetic and it’s furnishings which flick you back down the timeline of France’s history. Not to also mention this place is very clean! Like the floors actually look like they’ve been swept and mopped. Most importantly, the food is just out of this world. I think especially being from a country where the general public’s go-to so called “gourmet brunch” would be McDonalds, this just sets the bar even higher for business’ to further be in pursuit of. I mean the desserts I had the pleasure of putting my elderly mitts on and placing in my mouse trap were truly eye opening. I had the strawberry tart, lightly glazed with a strawberry sugar jam and the lemon tart. They were both truly sublime. My friend had the caramel buttercream choux which also was a delightful mouthful of authentic French flavours. The coffee art produced here is second to none also, not to mention it was absolutely amazing. Now, don’t get me started on brunch! I had the salmon and leek tart with a salad on the side and let me tell you this! That Salmon tart was exquisite in flavour. As for the salad, I’m so happy one place in the Wellington region knows how to make a salad. Like this salad was only a side salad and it was beyond magnificent in flavour. I’m so use to going to places and they throw me a bag of mescaline and dice up various cheap Pak’nSave vegetables to try to deter my attention away from how tragically confused the food really is. (not naming names, lol Fig Tree! xD). Anyway, the desserts look like world class chefs made them and I was very happy to experience a cafe which embodies a sense of luxury with good hearty tucker and might I also add, affordable at that.
A great place for a relaxed lunch, friendly staff and nice decor. I don't think you can beat a bowl of their French Onion Soup and a glass or two of Cote du Rhone.
I love this cafe. The little cakes they have are delicious but they also have brunch. I’ve had the French toast twice and it is soooo good! The creme anglaise and berries are delicious.
We just had coffee and sweet. Dark chocolate mousse was so creamy melting in our mouth. They have a variety of sweets and they all look beautiful - a little more expensive than other cafes but it is worth to try. Coffee was good and staff were friendly. Nice cafe. Recommended.
Quite nice place for morning pastry, tea, and coffee. Staff was friendly and the coffee was excellent. Skip the world wide coffee chain and try here.
I heard this place was great and it definitely exceeded expectations. Some of the strongest coffee in the city. Food is amazingly delicious. Cheese to die for. Sweets for the masses and French staff. Adorbs!
Been here (thorndon & once on the terrace) many times over the years, both for meals or a quick cuppa. Not been disappointed yet. Friendly, attentive service, comfortable atmosphere, good coffee plus they make the most amazing custard square I've ever eaten 😍.
Loved it. It was very busy when went but the food was awesome, coffee great. We didn’t wait too long and even though the place was full it wasn’t overbearing or too noisy. Will definitely be back for some of those desserts we saw!

Great for breakfast with good coffee. I really love its interior. Less crowded than the one in city. It feels so good to spend some times enjoying a cup of coffee with some danish while reading my favourite book.
This cafe has nice fresh cafe food. We ordered that hash cakes with mushroom and ham (love the fresh salad and crispy hash) and we ordered that fresh toast (crispy brioche toast with fresh bananas). Coffee was not too bad and service was good
We were blown away by all the choices! There’s a million different things in the cabinets as well as a full on menu and everything looked absolutely delicious.
We finally settled on some gougere, an almond croissant and a mille feuille which all went above and beyond our expectations.
Never had a gougere before, feel like I’ve been wasting my time eating scones when I could’ve been having the more superior and tasty gougere all along?!
Service was also fantastic.
Overall 10/10 ⭐️
Great food! Many options to choose from. I would definitely recommend it. A bit hard to find parking (like everywhere else in Wellington).
An absolutely stunning café! It was an impromptu visit, but I think we have found out place for catch ups during the day!
The food was exquisite and the patisserie selection was plentiful!
Had to try desserts today with my lunch! We will be visiting regularly.
Suuuuuper impressed! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really great bakery! Delicious treats! Brilliant coffee. Friendly fast service. Great vibe. Really enjoyed that even though they were super busy, everyone was really kind and smiling and looked like they enjoyed working there. Always a plus for me. ♡
We tried three mains and each one had a unique yummy flavor. Staff were friendly too.
Have been a regular customer for years. French toast is my all time favourite. Their cabinet food and desserts are always good. And the team there are welcoming and friendly.
Tried the steak on the cook menu last week and it was over cooked, which is a let down, but the fries were perfect.
We have been to this place 2 weeks ago for the first time with my fiance. We absolutely loved the atmosphere, servis, and treats.
We have been waiting for our coffees for about 20 minutes, which can sometimes happen by accident. Our waitress (I don't know name, french looking i guess) handled the situation perfectly! She was sweet, thoughtful and knew what to do to make us feel special. We were leaving full and happy! ❤👍 We will be back for sure. 🙏
Had a really nice flat white that was just the perfect size. Tables were sparkling clean, seats were comfy, and the cafe is well laid out. Staff are friendly, parking around the corner wasn't a problem. Just a really nice place to actually sit and enjoy a morning coffee instead of feeling like you have to rush out of there.
