Went for late lunch there were 3 of us. 1 had the beef burger 1 the french toast & one the egg Bennie with salmon (forgot the name on the menu) we were all impressed with the speed of service the meals came out in very good timing & were big serves. Waiter was very polite coffees were fab too. Overall while in welly for five days I have to say this was the best service we had received from the many places we had eaten at & we tried alot! Thank you we will be back, keep up the fantastic job team😊

I had Egg Montreal and my daughter had the pancakes with bacon and sausages. Food is delicious and the presentation is way better than some of the Wellington supposedly top Cafes. My flatwhite has no burnt coffee taste and really deep flavoured. Service was good as they gave us a new bottle of water when they noticed ours has ran low. It's my new favorite cafe in UH.

Met with friends for brunch, most enjoyable tasty food, 3 of us had the delicious chicken burger and the 4th had the French toast. 4 empty plates. Service was very, good the staff left us to talk and relax. Although we were inside the doors were wide open which was very pleasant. A busy popular cafe.

My best spot to go to when Im in Upper Hutt and in need of a good brekky. These guys do a good job on all the dishes I've tasted so far but I just love their big breakfast. Great food, great customer service and pretty cosy decor.

Great service, great coffee and amazing hot chocolate. Only giving it a 4 because my hash stack had too little hollandaise sauce for how thick the hashes were and the hash browns were not what I expected - they are cheesy, a tad garlicky and mustardy - great if you’re into that but I was expecting just simple potato! I would give this a 4.5 if I could but yeah just that minor detail I wasn’t super impressed with. Would totally go back though and maybe just order something else 🙂

These photos are from two different occasions, we eat here regularly and I find this place has the best hollandaise sauce ever made, something different about it, I have to order extra every time.
Staff are always friendly.
They know my order now being Avocado and prawn salad it’s really really good!
Ambience is peaceful and relaxing
This is a regular place for us

I gave them a 4 because they have this really uniquely flavoured hollandaise sauce.  The only other places I have had Eggs Benny with that flavour is The Coffee Club and Trudy's Upper Hutt.  My wife and I frequent this place due to it being a nice cozy place for brekkie or brunch.  I haven't tried anything else on the menu in all of my visits here, but my wife raves about the pancakes and the coffee that is always made to her liking.  Very friendly and attentive staff.  Good service.  A funky and comfy dining area, but the outdoor patio is a bit close to the cars passing by for my liking.

Excellent service, the staff are all very friendly beautiful people, nice range of food and drinks. Very relaxed vibe. After having lots of terrible coffee from other places it was nice to find somewhere that has a coffee with a strong kick.

Heard about this place a while back but never thought to try it out, me and my partner finally did cause we were in the area at the time. The service was great, the waitress that served us was great too. Our meals came out fast. No long waits. My partner ordered the “Big Breakfast” and he said it was delicious, lots of flavour! And he didn’t even finish his meal cause he was already full (and this is coming from a big islander eater 😂) will deff come again to try other meals on the menu! 💯

I frequent this wonderful establishment and had a wonderful lunch on Friday. I had the special of thr prawn fettuccine which was amazing. It came out in a reasonable time. It had oodles of prawns and not too much fettuccine (which was fresh), which I find can be overloaded in a number of places I have had it in. I will be back as always. Great coffee and awesome service. The waiter who has worked there for a while I must say makes the place!! He is just lovely and very attentive to your needs.

It was 28 degrees in Upper Hutt so too hot to sit in the outdoor tables. The inside is shady with a pleasing array of second hand furniture making every table different. Our meals of corn fritters with bacon and salad, plus eggs benedict off the all day breakfast menu were excellent and cheap, coming in at under $40 in total.

The staff were pleasant and active. So if you are looking for breakfast or lunch in Upper Hutt give it a go. They are essentially a lunch place but open til 7pm on Fridays.

We were in upper hutt. Hungry in the land of greasy low class food.
This place looked nice.
Then we ate. Wow what a nice surprise.
We all decided that if we lived near this place we would not hesitate.
Coffee was top Wellington standard. Food likewise.

Excellent hot chocolate, walking the line between a love inducing molten hot chocolate and a milky disaster perfectly. Crispy fries and great coffee. 10/10 would dine again.

I went for dinner many years ago and enjoyed it. Went back a few weeks ago for a chai latte and it was the best I've ever had.  The environment is pleasant and the staff very attentive. The chef came out from the kitchen herself and took our orders for the Montreal and Big Breakfast. The Montreal was smothered in hollandaise - a little too much for me - but the portion was generous and everything cooked beautifully. The hubby raved over his big brekkie. This place will become a regular spot for us - going back to try the french toast. Our meals were as pictured.

Here's what the hubby thought:

"Best. Brunch. Ever.  That's all. Okay, maybe I won't get away with just that. The drinks. Mocha for me, pot of tea for her. Both were excellent, and orders given to the chap when he came to the table to ask. No need to even go to the counter. Menu's read, and decisions made on Big Breakfast at $22.00 and an Eggs Montreal ($17.00) for her. Walking to the counter I was intercepted by the chef who came out of the kitchen to take our orders herself. That was very cool. I said it would be great if some hollandaise could 'accidentally' fall on my eggs?...she smiled and said 'no problem!'. Really? Other places have met that request with a look like I've just asked to take possession of their youngest child. The plates of food delivered were just fantastic. Quality AND quantity. I got perfectly poached eggs on bread, sluiced in the now-famous hollandaise, bacon cooked to perfection which means browned and charred but still moist and juicy, two equally well-cooked Kransky's, piping-hot chips and hash-brown and tomato and 'shrooms. Which the missus ended up with.  In return I got half her excessively-large helping of hollandaise and some of her spinach of which the portion was huge. I just can't fault this meal. I left saying I'll never spend a cent at another cafe as long as this place keeps on delivering. If it wasn't for the fact that next weekend we'll be in Taupo we'd be back then. Run out of time to discuss madam's breakfast, but apart from her saying there was too-much hollandaise (is there such a thing?) on hers she was just as impressed. There's no such thing as perfect, which is why I haven't given 10s, but so far I have no desire to eat brunch anywhere else but here in the foreseeable future. If I could change one thing, it would be to turn the music down a tad, but I had to think hard to even come up with that."


2016:  Under new management! Had the best caramel milkshake ever in my life. The pancakes were a bit thick and dry. The eggs benny would've been perfect if the hollandaise wasn't store bought. Had to ask several times for our hummingbird cake to arrive.  Will go back for a shake though!

Coffee is always great here no mater what time of the day. The staff are friendly and greet you when you walk in which is a nice touch.

Menu caters for most tastes and come in reasonable portions, staff are happy to add extras to a main if you want something a little different.

The quality of meals can vary depending on how busy the staff are but as a rule way better than other eateries in the Upper Hutt area. This place is the bench mark that others struggle to met atmosphere, friendliness quality and quantity of meals.

Well done the team from "Café Romeo's" hope the new year is as good as the last and better if possible.

My husband and I went to Romeo's for a romantic dinner, it was excellent from start to finish. From the garlic bread and the bruschetta entrees (amazing) to my husbands steak, and my chicken main - stuffed breast with sundries tomatoes etc.
So good.
We pushed it to the limit with dessert though, I had the mars bar cheese cake, and hubby had the chocolate tart. It was stunning. But we ate way too much, and had trouble breathing.

Four of us went to Romeos for dinner on Saturday night. We all really enjoyed our meals. Two of us had the fish done in a lemon, Thyme butter sauce, it was delicious. My husband had the beef fillet which was very tender. Can recommend it as a great place for dinner.

I go into Romeo's on a fairly regular basis to meet a friend for lunch and always have my little girl in tow. They always make room for her pushchair. I have never been disappointed by the food (and have ordered just about everything on the menu!) and the coffee is always delicious. I love going there because it's a guaranteed good meal and my daughter and I are always made to feel welcome (which can't be said for all the cafes in Upper Hutt!) The service is fairly consistent but the lady behind the counter is always super nice.

Having eaten at Romeos often, I would definitely recommend it. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are friendly, efficient and know their customer's favourite's off by heart, and the food is consistently great and plenty of it. Nice ambiance, comfy seating and good menu selections all make Romeo's a first choice when dining out in Upper Hutt

Romeo's consistently serves fantastic coffee and delicious food. Last time we were there new items had been added to the blackboard menu. Snack wise, best of the best for me are Romeo's savoury muffins and sticky date pudding.

Went there for breakfast in the weekend, was the best breakfast i have ever had out. Was a huge plate of food and i though $20 was a decent price for eggs, bacon, bread, mushrooms, sausage, tomatoes and i am sure there was something else too. Did take a while to get my hot choc though.

Great coffee! Yummy Eggs Montreal breakfast, not overloaded with hollandaise which is good. The service was great, acknowledged as soon as I walked in. I was here for a work trip, so grateful it was open at 7am 😊 Lots of space and good location in amongst the shops.
