Caffe L'affare

Rad coffee shop and cafe to get some excellent beans! Got a great selection to choose from and bottomless filter coffee as well. Also a pretty fun food menu.

This place has not changed in 30 years. Outstanding coffee, outstanding food, outstanding service. Only downside is the noise…but hey it’s popular for good reason. Always a must when I pass through Wella’s

Had a wonderful breakfast date experience here :) Had amazing service the moment we stepped in the door with staff being so attentive and kind. The seating was so spacious. The atmosphere wasn't loud either, which was nice as someone who struggles a bit with loud noises. I had the iced mocha, and my partner had the peach cold brew, which was such an interesting flavor and was so amazing to try out. My partner described it as smooth, and I can't agree more. My iced mocha was topped with marshmallows, ice cream, and cream! The coffee was not bitter at all and smoothly accompanied the chocolate 😋 I was not expecting it to be as big as it was but will be coming back to have more!! For food, my partner had their eggs bene with salmon. Eggs were cooked to perfection, and the hollandaise was especially delicious. I opted for the savory muffin and was not disappointed with how soft this muffin was, perfectly accompanied by butter. Thank you so much for our breakfast, and it won't be the last time coming :) <3

We had breakfast for four of us on Sunday morning, service was friendly and efficient. Meals were delicious and coffee was fantastic. A cool setting and displays were very funky. Will be back next time we visit Wellington.

Lovely v60 pourover coffee. Kid and baby friendly. Change rooms for babies. And colouring for kids!

Service, coffee and food were all 10/10. Such a great place for brunch. I can't wait to come back here

Its pretty standard cafe, serving foods like scones to soup and having active service taking your orders. The service is good and the food is simple yet exquisite. The pricing is actually suprising affordable. Overall, a splendid experience.

I came in last week and was so impressed with the coffee! Jessie makes an amazing latte, with the perfect amount of foam on top, and gorgeous latte-art! I am well impressed with her skills, will definitely come back for more coffee from her!

This cafe is a real Wellington institution. They roast their own coffee and it is excellent. In fact many other cafes around the country use L'Affarie coffee. Always a buzzy vibrant hip atmosphere. Great generous portions of food and efficient friendly staff. There are many reasons why this place remains constantly a favourite.

Having had the L'Affare coffee in our hotel and loving it we made a special the trip to the Caffe. It was 2:45 and they were closing at 3pm- they had put away the menus, the coffee fixings, they were vacuuming and the employees were all focused on cleaning up and seemed annoyed we were ordering. They had us move out of the way so they could stack the signs at the counter where we were waiting for our coffees (at 2:50) Our coffees were fine, nothing special, as were our pastries. But the whole experience was not worth the trip. Maybe close at 2:30 and clean until 3pm? Or clean after you close? Probably nice if you come earlier...

I've always loved this room -- visually noisy and eclectic, not the stark minimalism of so many Welly restaurants. Professional and accommodating. We asked for something that had been long removed from the menu; and they created it for us -- a really nice variant

LOVE L'AFFARE. One of my favorite coffee shops. It's got a deep ambiance. A bit of dark lighting inside, but also busy and full of life. Their execution is incredible and you can see into most of the kitchen. You can't go wrong. Order anything on the menu. I also love their cabinet food! However, they close at 4:00, which is a bummer.

14/12 - Thought I'd give it another chance, overpriced for average food and horrible service. Was told to go back to our table while we were looking at the cabinet food as it wasn't on the menu, staff member was very rude and if I were alone I would have left straight away. Most of us only ate 1/2 of what we ordered. Cafe is overrated and a little pretentious! 13/12 - Menu food is ok but it takes quite a while to get it and that's after you find a table, dodging the staff who are happy to walk in front of you. What I find ridiculous is their cabinet food. The ham and cheese baguettes are nice but can you get a ham and cheese baguette wrong? What I don't understand is why they never make enough? At 11:45 they had run out and wasn't making anymore, I was offered a ham and cheese tasted sandwich from the kids menu. If you can make that can't you put the same ingredients in a bread roll? And if you know you always sell out, especially before lunch, why not make more. Common business sense! Or are you too good to make more??

I love this place. Great service accompanied by great food. The food is consistent. Great place for brunch and is good for groups as they have some large tables. There is also a children's play area with toys etc to keep the kids busy. Only downside is it can be quite loud.

Yet another great breakfast in Wellington! I got fried eggs and bacon with an Americano. It was wonderful! Again, the eggs again were delicious and the bacon was delicious. It had a smokey taste, almost an applewood smoked bacon. The americano was strong.. just how I like it! I could definitely see myself as a regular here. Very friendly

Cute little cafe with delicious food. Porridge is outstanding! Friendly servers and great atmosphere. There's even a little kid area for your children.

The 5th star will come when they start making trim flat whites ;)

Walked in 5mins before it opened which I didn't know. The entire staff were sitting around eating and drinking talking about how drunk they got last night. Didn't get swerved or even acknowledged until after opening time. God I wish Pre Fab would open on Sunday's
