Nice cafe in the centre of Upper Hutt set in an old movie theatre.

Always always always get the Hast Stack here for brunch, it is absolutely delicious and great for those who love an eggs benny and also hash browns, simple and delicious and eggs always cooked properly too (no half cooked eggs here!)

Great coffee as well as friendly staff.

An interesting cafe in a old movie theatre. Colourful and spacious. Food was with reasonable price however the fish I had was a bit fishy. Not a bad choice to grab a coffee.

For starters.. I enjoyed my mango smoothy so much. Exactly what I wanted. Great curly fries.

The place has more potential, could have movies going on the wall instead of just being a theme. But, enjoyed the food. Good service!

Come here often as I like the private atmosphere and quick service - they do perfect eggs, pasta is always good and their nachos are great, happy to keep coming back.

Came here today with a friend for breakfast/brunch. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and I really liked the big space and decorations and whatnot. I ordered the small blueberry pancakes, and whilst I really enjoyed them, I was left disappointed as it was just the one pancake - I think it was slightly overpriced, therefore, because of the small portion size. However, I would come again to try some of their other food!

Always have a delicious meal here. The staff are a bit average with their overall friendliness and the ice chocolates could be improved but as I said the food is great! The atmosphere seems kind of dull and dark good for a rainy day not so much when it's sunny. The food is quite over priced but your getting a great meal out of it

We had dinner here on Saturday and found the service & food to be excellent. I had the pasta special which was divine, rich & creamy with lots of flavour.  Our 6 year old son ordered meatballs & pasta and loved it.  I tasted it and it was delicious.  My husband had lamb shank (plus an extra shank) which was also very tasty, although he felt there was too much sauce.  We will definitely be back and are happy that the new owners have improved one of our local cafes so much!

Food was really yummy I had a large all day breakfast, Service was very prompt and professional, its an old picture theater done up which gives it some unique characteristic. Complamenty water and condomints to complament your meal which is really nice. Would be great to have some free Wi-Fi , other wise a perfect place to have a coffee or a meal.

I love this place! You go in and it feels like you've escaped and are no longer in Upper Hutt. I go here very often and although slightly pricey, its my favorite place for lunch and a coffee.

I have nothing but good feedback about Mayfair. This has become my go to place. great food, great atmosphere and the most amazing customer service. If you ever go there ask for Roshni. One of the best waitresses i have ever had. So efficient and her customer service is incredible! 10/10. Thanks to the customer service and excellent food this has become my regular Friday night restaurant. Everyone go and check it out!

As a regular visitor to Upper Hutt and Wellington from Melbourne my sister recommended Mayfair Cafe as a good place to take Mum in her wheelchair for lunch.
This was my third visit this year and, the best one yet.
I have raved to friends back home about the Hash Stack, which again was great, not greasy or overlooked, looking good with a good amount of sauce it accompanied my large Feijoa Juice perfectly.
The service was way quicker this time but the staff were as friendly and helpful as on previous visits. Maybe a bit on the pricey side but, well worth the visit for sure. Good coffee, great ambience and something for every one makes this a define place to eat when here, thanks

This is one of the most unique places we've been to as the old Mayfair theatre has been transformed into a unique café setting with plenty of character. The staff here are flexible and can modify your drink or meal order to suit any dietary requests which is always something we appreciate. Recently we came to dinner on Pasta night and loved the vegetarian pasta so much that we came back on Saturday night to sample the regular menu. The lambshanks must be a popular dish as there were many people enjoying it! The service we experienced there was top notch, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal soaking in the atmosphere in a cozy table beside a warm crackling fireplace on a cold winter’s evening. This place is also perfect to come and enjoy a tall delicious glass of iced coffee on a warm summer‘s day.

My husband and I enjoyed Mayfair Cafe so much we have been every week for the last 6 weeks!
The staff are friendly, professional and willing to go above and beyond, special mention to Talia who has really looked after us everytime we visit.
The food is superb, very consistent and we can't fault it. We have been to many restaurants over the past 12 months but Mayfair is now by far our favourite.

I originally gave the Mayfair a 5, as it was our favourite regular brunch place a couple of years back. Since then it's been a bit hit and miss. We still go every couple of months, but have had a couple of pretty average meals more recently.

I've always loved the atmosphere of Mayfair and The BoileRoom. I Had my birthday dinner party here with a set-menu organized with their staff, the food was amazing with great portions. The staff was very kind and responsive to any requests needed for setting up the place as well as just communicating with my guests. The important thing for me was that my friends were happy with the food and the setting and they definitely enjoyed the whole night. I love the unique twists on certain meals in the menu, making them a little bit more exciting to try.

Definitely a hidden gem in Upper Hutt city that everyone needs to check out asap!

Great food support by an incredible range of wonderful & new beers makes this a local favourite.

The chef seems to go out of his way to deliver an experience the diner will appreciate.

The decorating is interesting with its local history & there are often special tasting sessions that are worth getting along to.

Rob and team - thanks so much for the past year of spectacular dinners! My husband, myself and our friends have enjoyed a number of spectacular meals this year, and we have loved creating special menus for our get togethers, and the food has always been amazing! We will definitely back in the new year for a night out!

Has this place changed hands or cooks? I went there with my daughter yesterday as was hanging out for their usually fab caesar salad. Daughter ordered hash stack which is her fav - disappointed much!! 1 soggy hashbrown does not a stack make! My caesar tasted and looked like someone had tipped the last of a packet of brought croutons and crumbs all over it. It was served in completely the wrong type of plate, it was a horrible mushy mess. At $18 I expected better!! My girls and I choose to go there for catchups and gatherings.....! Eating out is a treat and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect consistency. Yes we told 2 staff when asked how our meals were. Whether they do anything about it we'll never know.....

Just want to provide update. Thank you Rob for your offer. Glad to hear you're still there. I accept that my last dining experience was a glitch and that you're still one of the best cafe's in Upper Hutt. Thank you again for your response.

Went to the little restrant out the back of Mayfair which I didn't even know was there (boil room or something like that) very small and cute, perfect for a date as it's dark and lit by candle light, had the steak and have to amit it was one of the best I've ever had, shared a very yummy cheese cake with my friend as it was large enough and both had a coke, bill came to $40 each which is great for a steak that tastes like gold. Place could be a bit warmer though.

My family and I often go to Mayfair to have brunch and dinner. We also use the facility to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. I am very happy with the place and food. Great ambiance and very good service. They are always making sure if you are okay and treat you with respect as well as feeling special. Thanks Mayfair. Keep it up!

Awesome rustic style and the old theatre seats, corrugated iron and lights were a cool touch (I like shiny things). Staff were great and left the right amount of time for us to view the menu before coming to take our order. Food was great! I had the hash stack and loved it. Bacon was cooked to crispy perfection. Toilets were nice and clean and there is also an area outside if you smoke. Will definitely be back.

Don't be fooled by the size of the door to the establishment. Once you walk through the door, it takes you down a short corridor and suddenly the cafe reveals itself in its entirety. Great space with upstairs and outdoors dining. Friendly staff. Very good portions and great value for money. And Keto friendly items as well. Would easily return again. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere at the Boiler Room was relaxing as usual. It is such an interesting atmosphere. The Vegetarian breakfast was delicious, with a delicious gluten free option. The Big Breakfast was filling and delicious. The coffee was delicious. I love the coffee from the Boiler Room.

The owner is a young man reviving a business he bought in June this year. We ordered the seafood platter, Cheesy garlic bread as our entrees and Gourmet Beef Burger and Buffalo Chicken Burger for the mains. Absolutely ticks all the boxes for me and the wife! We’ll be back for sure!

Love this cafe. It has a real retro vibe. I love the message on the mirror which can almost be a nod to 2022. The team were super friendly. Really glad that we stopped in here to have a coffee and some breakfast on our way through to the wairarapa.

Mayfair Cafe is located in an old movie theatre and the decor is movie-themed to match. Good food including a brunch and lunch menu, counter food and homemade pizza. The coffee is ok and our service was friendly. Nice surroundings to enjoy a long lunch.

Had my birthday brunch here earlier in the year (just going through my camera roll and found these now) and hands down the nicest eggs bene ive tasted so far. All the family loved their food and we've all been back a couple times since. Lil tip: check out grabone or groupon before going if theres 2 or more of you going, they usually have good discounts on there for here 😁
