Beach Babylon

Very accommodating staff, excellent service. Milkshake was good, and so the coffee. My wife enjoyed her Chili scrambled eggs but unfortunately for myself the beef burger was far below par. The bun was old and brittle and the mince tasted like it was on the verge of expiration. I didn't want to say anything at the time because of the great service but maybe something to keep an eye on for the future. Thanks

Great place with a wide selection of menu items to suit every taste. They also have a K9 menu full of doggie treats! We sat at an outside table with our little dog and she really enjoyed the awesome dog biscuits.

We have visited this restaurant for every meal possible and each one has been nothing less than 5 stars for both service and food. The ambience is very kitschy and vibrant, and honestly I would visit here every day if I lived close by!

Beachside neighbourhood cafe that provides food and drinks (breakfast, lunch or dinner), with the option of indoor or outdoor dining. Food menu range from usual options (e.g. cakes, pastries, burger, fish and chips, etc) to vegetarian/ vegan options. The menu does change over time- they used to make a great shakshuka. Food portions are generous. Service is hit and miss depending who attends to you- some are attentive and others not so. But I find when the manager (I’m assuming the gentleman with the beard) is present, it’s great. The place does sometimes get pact (usually nice sunny days or when everything else is closed on a public holiday) and I sense the staff do get overwhelmed and things get a bit disorganised- lines between new and leaving customers become blurred. If it rains, there is no extendable outside awning (the umbrellas only provide shade), so seating can become limited to just the sheltered patio and indoor space. Atmosphere is my favourite part of the place- quirky, kitchy, vintage kind of Hawaiian tiki feel. Dog friendly (purchase dog cookies at counter and water bowls provided outside) and kid friendly. Only thing I wish could be improved is the coffee- I find it’s a bit burnt.

Solid breakfast offering - you really cannot beat the service or quality of food. The Big Breakfast and the Benedict choices ... great start to your day!

Wow!! It been 9 years since I've had the pleasure of eating here and I'm so glad to be home and see Beach Babylon still open and still serving my favourite mince on toast. Its as good as it always was. The staff here are super friendly and provide quick service. Brunch arrived quickly and was delicious!! All washed down with a yummy chocolate milk shake that's light, fluffy and full of flavour in a good old fashioned metal milk shake container. Can't wait to make this my weekend brunch location once again. Loved it, thanks guys

Warm fireplace on, Amazing service and food, the food was fast. And delicious. I would of kept eating more n more but we will come back some day, Aaron and Kelly from Taranaki.

This place has been traditionally a go-to place for many Wellingtonians on a sunny day in Wellington. It's usually packed for brunch every weekend. They do have great food and coffee. Friendly staff. This time, we went for an after-work snack. They consistently serve good food. Great place for brunch, afternoon snacks/drinks. Although this place is renowned for brunch, they also serve delicious dinner. We will be back soon.
