I think this is one the best brekkie/ High Tea place in Wellington. I loved their arrangement and had a really good time. They have do many variety of teas to choose from but honestly you can try 2 or 3 while having a chit chat with friends. Thumbs up for the staff. Would really recommend this place👍🏻
I went here for the first time with a group of friends, and it was lovely! I had a great coffee, a sublime slice of sticky toffee pudding cake, and the decor was delightful. I’m keen to try a High Tea next time! It is quite small, so I’m glad my friend made a booking for us ahead of time :)
Very beautiful scenery. Food was is small portions but adequately filling and tasted amazing. Staff were very accomodating of a large group of five at short notice but as it is small you should book in advance. Lovely day. I disagree with bad reviews as they clearly did not read the website properly although we opted for afternoon tea rather than the high tea. Definitely recommended
Best opera cake in town. Test just amazing.
Walnut slice are sooooo good as well.
Will definitely come back next time.
The opera cake is layer by layer test like ice cream are melting. And the rich chocolate mix with other flavor. Just amazing.
Walnut slice are good as well. Carmel with lots of walnut mix are on point.
We had read a number of reviews about the various places offering high-tea. They were all rated about the same. So it was up to us, and we chose Martha’s.
Limited parking but it's great they have it there.
Martha’s is a nice space, old fashioned style and cozy. The staff are super friendly and helpful.
I ordered a strong tea and my partner a white tea. While was really cool. It came a closed flower bud which opens in the water. Both teas were very refreshing and satisfying.
The sweet and savoury pieces were delicious. Satisfying fresh and tasty. Each piece carefully put together and with its own flavour; so it didn't feel like everything tasted the same. Good selection.
The only thing that wasn't perfect was the ration of sweet and savoury. We found there to be too many sweet items (as tasty as they were) - so we just took them home and ate them later on that day.
A nice change. Will visit again for sure.

Had heard about this spot from a friend a few years ago & was keen to try it - well I really enjoyed my visit, particularly all of the details. It really reminded me of a tea room & of the good old fashioned baking.
Service was a 5/5 - very engaging & friendly. Nice conversation. Asked if I wanted a magazine, and then popped out to grab a newspaper for me to read as they didn't yet have one. I always believe that service makes or breaks a business. Service today made the experience.
They do have high tea, but I didn't have room or time so tried the sponge drop which was perfection. Slightly crispy shell from the sugar, soft on the inside with cream & jam that gave the perfect balance. Not too sweet.
I had already had coffee so was keen to try something from their tea selection. Decided on a Japanese white rose tea which was delicious - not overpoweringly fragrant like some are. Also had a bit of 'theatre' involved with a dried rosebud which you put into your cup before pouring the tea - the bud then opens.
Great location - almost at the top of Cuba street (location is really more on the side-street than Cuba St) but this makes it more peaceful. The details in the fit out with things your grandmother would have owned were great too.
Good to see & hear real baking happening on site - eggs being cracked & mixer going. You know it's fresh when that happens!
Have already recommended to friends & will be back. I have rated 4/5 only trying one item, but I am confident that the high tea would make this a 4.5/5 at least.
Came here today (Friday 12th Dec 2014) for high tea with 9 friends. We booked our table in advance. It cost $30 a head. And was worth every cent.
When we arrived we were shown to our table by a very friendly lady and was shown the menu along with some advice on the different tea's they have.
I ordered a special of the day which was a Paris tea. I think it had vanilla in it. It was so tasty, it came in a large pot, so I had 3 cups. Hmmm yum.
Then they brought the tiny sandwiches and savoury tarts and cakes and sweet tarts on a beautiful cake stand. It was so tasty, all of them. My favourite were the scones with cream and jam.
The service was great and the food was delicious. The only thing I should mention is that there is limited parking places, only a few, but I mananged to get one as a customer was just on his way out. Lucky. But being in Wellington central (almost) you could park in Wellington somewhere, there's lots of carparks around.
We will be back.
Only popped in for tea and sandwiches and found us wanting to come back again.
There were now available tables but within a minute they had rustled up a table for us and the service was quick and friendly.
The food was fresh and the tea selection wide.
Will definitely come back.
Took my mum along for high tea for her 86th birthday. Gorgeous setting, delightful food, fantastic service. Been before and will definately go again. The high tea for two was more than adequate in quantity, presented well and tasted divine. Didn't feel rushed by staff so was lovely to have the time to enjoy and chat.
I took my mum to Martha's Pantry this weekend for her birthday and it was just amazing. The atmosphere is delightful, the food (we got high tea) is delicious, and the staff are lovely. It was well worth every cent, and more! I've never written one of these reviews before but we had such an amazing time that I felt like I should! We spent two hours chatting, eating treats, and drinking tea - what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon! And the lovely girl who served us asked if it was a special occasion, and upon learning that it was mums birthday she organised for the little cupcake with the high tea to have a candle in it - cute! Would recommend to anyone and would go back in a heartbeat!
We did the high tea and thought all the food options were well selected and a good variety to cater to different preferences in a group.
They were great about us bringing along a baby and were very friendly and accommodating.
The one thing I'd have liked more was the option to try multiple teas.
The place was beautiful aesthetic and brightly designed. They even took an excellent photo of us and gave us printed copies. A stand out experience.
My third visit, and expect to have many more.
Absolutely LOVE everything about Martha's Pantry.
Thank you so much to all the hard working staff.
You are amazing
Very beautiful presentation of High Tea. Fresh bakes scones, pastries, savory sandwiches, all were delicious. The decor of the cafe is very nice and inviting. Antique tea cups with small dessert spoons were very cute to be served.
I think this place is popular. Might be! I have made a reservation to have a High Tea ceremony and while we were there all tables were reserved. I definitely recommend this place to anyone! Its a great spot for birthday celebration, night out, weekend brunch, friends meet-up, you name it.
Service was outstanding! Lots of tea to choose from! Impressed !
Terrific service and atmosphere. The team happily catered for two people with different food allergies and were still able to provide us with a variety of delicious savoury and sweet treats.
We had an amazing high tea experience today at Martha’s pantry! Sean, the owner, was very welcoming, attentive and provided all the great little touches that made us feel well taken care of. The high tea was delicious, all the food was great quality and you can order any drinks from the menu as part of the high tea. I had the ice latte which was great and one of my daughters had the cutest little fluffy ever. There is a great selection of tea, coffee and other drinks like smoothies if tea or coffee isnt your thing. The food portion was generous; we didnt even finish everything and everything was delicious. Sean even took a photo of our group and printed them for us as kind mementos. Excellent service, food and drinks, plus cute ambiance. Highly recommend this cafe whether for high tea or just for food and drinks 😀
Great spot for tea. I was able to get high tea, but typically you have to call the day before. The tea was real leaves and not tea bags. The scones were amazing, light and airy, and they warm them before serving. Definitely recommend.

What a delightful experience to enjoy High Tea at Martha's Pantry! We were warmly welcomed and invited to sit at a table prepared for us. The menu of teas is extensive and we relaxed after a long day of walking around Wellington while the food was being prepared. I loved the pastel colors, the artwork on the walls, the colorful hats, tea sets, and table chairs in the warm, welcoming atmosphere. And then the wide variety of savory sandwiches, cheese with sauerkraut (what a great combination!) homemade pickles and avocado filled the lower of 3 tiers; topped with delicious warm scones with whipped cream and jam on the 2nd tier; with the topping on the cake on the first tier including a variety of delicious sweets (strawberry cake, macaroon, filled cookie, and an amazing passion fruit pudding). When we thought there could not be more, we were surprised with a taste of shaved ice like I've never had before that left our mouths fresh and our souls quenched. I can't recommend Matha's Pantry highly enough - I know you'll love the vibes, the great variety and delicious food and tea, and the wonderful, welcoming, and friendly service with a smile. And you might also be surprised with a printed photo of your visit!
Great atmosphere and food!
Drink price is very reasonable and they have unique bingsu and ice flake drinks
I loved the fancy pretty cup decorations
Had a lovely high tea with my daughter. The shop is warm and welcoming and the food and tea were delicious. The staff were fantastic as well. Overall a highly enjoyable experience.
Just had a beautiful experience at Martha’s Pantry! Such an awesome feel to this place. INCREDIBLE freshly baked cheesy puff with caramelised onion, and great coffees too. Martha is really friendly and hospitable :)
