I had the monsieur sandwich, really nice, different and tasty, ham was high quality and my colleagues had eggs with salmon, coffee was really nice and we all enjoyed our meals
This is Brittany in Wellington. True to origin but as well as many galettes and other regional specialities there are Kiwi options too. Great value - try the casserole de pecheur for example. Friendly informal service.
I will never claim to be a French cuisine expert, purely due to the fact that I just don’t eat enough French cuisine.
Was in Wellington for work and was strolling around Lambton reminiscing my law school days when I happened to walk by Cafe Breton. I’ll be lying if I said that there was a magnetic pull that resonated from Cafe Breton, rather it was more for simple curiosity that there was a new Cafe I’ve never seen before.
Entering the cafe there was a distinct home feel to the establishment, warm and cheerful which would feel great compared to your usual corporate mojo feel. Being warmly greeted definitely left a positive impression.
I had a coffee and caramelised peach slice with ice cream? Not sure if that was the exact description, it was tasty for me quite light and perfect as a afternoon snack.
Showstopper: Great service and coffee
Overall Grade: B+
I've always enjoyed my visits to Café Breton! Both in its current, CBD location and in its original Kelburn.
Although not "Cheap And Cheerful" the food is plentiful, and well made - I'm yet to order a dud! The Staff are always lovely, and the service is usually quick.
A personal favourite!
Because of our lack of our Britanny and his specialities, we decided to go to the cafe Breton. It a little restaurant, friendly. It's always a pleasure to find French people at the other side of the world. Galettes were very delicious, I know what I'm talking about, I'm from Britanny. It's approximately the same taste. I recommend it. The staff was nice but too professional, not casual enough (not too Breton spirit).
A great little french cafe and crepery in the heart of Wellington. The decor of the place is very well done, and could transport you back to France. I went here last week with some colleagues.
The staff were very friendly in general. Only had coffee, but the food that others were eating did look delicious. Coffee was OK, slightly on the weak side for me, so may have to ask for a double shot next time!
The french fare on offer here is absolutely fantastic. They also do a good coffee but the food is the highlight. The staff are friendly and helpful, energetic and in pace with the busyness of the cafe. The cafe is very clean and tidy, and fills up fast with counter orders and table diners. The menu is excellent. The cabinet food is excellent. Worth a visit.
Café Breton is a fabulous little French themed café. The café is clean, the service very pleasant and we both had the French Toast with crispy bacon and coffee/hot chocolate. Everything was very, very good. The menu has a very good selection and there is a range of light food that is cooked fresh as well as a good range of cabinet food.
Luckily we got in before the lunchtime rush as this place get busy. My La Fermière was light and cooked to perfection as was my partners Sirloin Steak (in fact she compares other restaurants serving Steak to it still to this day). We stayed for a second coffee and were waited on well - providing a little giggle with our limited French. What's "Hickie" in French? :-)
Stopped in for a coffee/work meeting today as were many of the patrons it seemed at that time of the morning.... really nice feel and decor (simple but themed and a touch of nostalgia) friendly quick service, ample seating, great gluten free options on the menu means this is a spot I will return to. The coffee today was nice and I thought it was pretty strong and well priced.
I could be sitting in the Latin quarter such is the authenticity of this establishment. Last visit I met and shared a table with a world famous astrophysicist. The shabby chic unapologetic decor lends an ambience that inspires flamboyant gesticulation, passionate discussion and general appreciation of life sans worries. The food is authentic home made delicious and reasonably priced. The menu is displayed on a black chalk wall. Crepes, baguettes, pastry, gateaux... formidable! Coffee was smooth, hot and palatable. Always busy verging on crowded at lunch time, populated by local repeat custom and francophiles from here to Martinborough
Had the La Savoyarde, one of their savoury buckwheat crepes, and it was tasty! Service was friendly and good. Give this place a go whenever you're in town.

Café Breton is a small French café in CBD that has probably the best onion soup in the whole Wellington region. It's so good I always burn my tongue! They've got awesome galettes too (the Savoyarde is my favourite), although I haven't tried their crêpes yet. I definitely recommend it!
Had the crepes with pork sausage and added egg. Friend had the crepes le provincial. Also grabbed a take away macaron.
Delicious and filling. Good coffee
Love this wee cafe. Looks like a great range of crepes and other French cuisine. The almond croissant was not to my liking. The coffee was great.
If you are looking for a traditional crêpe this is the place!
Like if that wasn't enough their food just tastes amazing! And the service is brilliant. Thanks so much to the staff for helping me get some food and get to my conference on time 🥰
Huge menu of crepes. I had La Bergère (goats cheese, spinach, honey, walnuts) and it was very tasty. The cheese did become a bit overwhelming towards the end of the dish but if rather that than not enough!
Great French Cafe.
It is a cosy restaurant.
What makes it great is the outstanding food.
Taste is fabulous and looks great as well.
Recommended.
Nice little French cafe. Friendly personnel. Reasonable prices. Good savoury crepes, French wine and small desserts. Sweet crepes could be better though.
Great little cafe with wonderful atmosphere. Kind service. The crepes were fantastic and the scrambled eggs were some of the best I’ve ever had.
