Friendly, tasty food - Edit
A small cafe that offers a lot of different options. They recently changed their menu to offer subs or salads as their main savoury options. I’ve tried a few of their subs with different options - all have been great. I’ve also tried a lot of their different sweet options such as their cakes and biscuits and loved them. All of their staff are super friendly and welcoming.

Great bakery - Edit
Stopped in for a decadent afternoon snack of a salted caramel thickshake and a cinnamon roll. Fantastic. The cinnamon roll wasn’t overly sweet and it had a lot of cinnamon. The thickshake. Wow. Not your ordinary milkshake. It was spectacular. Probably the best place I’ve been to in Wellington over the last couple of months for sweet treats. Highly recommend!
Read morePros: All vegan , Spectacular thickshake

Heaven on Willis Street - Edit
Recently moved to Wellington and the lovely food and staff helped keep a smile on my face during those first few difficult weeks living in a new city. The brownies are to die for!

Great comfort food - Edit
Affordable, cosy place in the centre of Wellington. They offer 3 different savoury dishes (not ribs, not chicken and not steak) and an array of sweets (cinnamon rolls, cakes, brownie). Went there twice and really enjoyed it, though the cakes are too sweet (and top big, but hey more bang for your bucks!) for me
Read morePros: Awesome staff, free wifi
Cons: Too sweet (for me at least)

Lovely service and good coffee - Edit
Oat milk! And cinammon buns and marmite and vegan cheese scrolls. Lots of cake and a couple of savoury daily options too. Very sweet place and very nice girls working there. Not the best food and drink quality but it’s also a small local-style place and we were pleased with what we got

Tasty cakes and lovely service - Edit
We came here for lunch and ordered a lasagne with a rice side salad, the ribs with chips and coleslaw and a dessert. The ribs were delicious although the serve was quite small for the price (4 strips for $15). Also had the lasagne of the day with a rice salad. I wasn't a fan of rice salad (the tomato and cucumber threw me off), but the banoffee made up for it. Lovely service and good vibes.

They say that people can have transcendent experiences with food. I never believed this until trying their jacked up burger for WOAP! Hands down THE best burger I have ever had!

Good for sweet cravings - Edit
Really nice little place with a good range of sweets and savoury things too. I shared a cake with my friend and got an oreo filled cookie, I don’t have a huge sweet tooth but they were pretty good! They didn’t have as much as I thought they would in their cabinet but that could be because it was the end of the day.

Delicious cakes - Edit
This is a must-eat for any vegan with a sweet tooth. I come here every time I'm in Wellington and their cake selection never disappoints. They also do breakfast bagels (vegan BLT etc) all extremely good value for money. Caters very well for nut and gluten free, too.
