Took a detour to Island Bay (in WLG) and since we were hungry, we stumbled a neat little cafe called @floydscafe. They are a local cafe cantered in the shopping area and serve brunch dishes, coffee/tea ☕️, shakes🥤, cakes 🍰, + many more nibbles.
Cheese 🧀 + Date/Orange 🍊Scones $8.50
I and the old man enjoyed both scones, good portion size, heated and served with butter 🧈. The cheese scone was soft and had enough cheese in each bite. In addition, the sweet/citrus taste from the orange rind was enjoyable and just enough to not overpower the dates. Definitely will consider adding orange the next time we make our homemade scones.
Blueberry Thrills Smoothie🥤$5
First impressions, the smoothie was thinner + less creamy than a typical thickshake/milk smoothie. But that is fine as it is dairy-free and uses soy milk. The sweetness was not too sickly and it made it easier for me to taste the banana 🍌 + blueberry mix. I also love the touch of spirulina to add more protein and vitamins to the smoothie. Great job guys, good size for the price that you pay.
Florentine 🍳🍞 $17
Toast was made just right and the melted butter made the bread softer to bite into. Loved the lemony, creamy taste from the hollandaise sauce, went well with the poached eggs/runny yolk 🍳 and the sauteed spinach. Can't complain about the taste and price point, good job.
Final Words
Whether it is takeaway or dine-in, this small cafe offers a simple, but relaxed vibe with neat NZ artwork 🖼 + knick-knacks and are enjoyed by locals or Wellingtonians. Definitely enjoyed my brunch and recommend for you to check this place out if you are in the Island Bay area.

In deepest darkest Island Bay, between the strange car parking configuration, push chairs, boho chic residents and funky niche stores, is Floyd's.
This isn't somewhere you'd venture to from my side of town (Ngaio) as it is out of the way from the lure of the central city but if you are looking to take a wee Sunday drive and head somewhere new, try this place.
It is popular with the locals and I can see why. The food portions are huge, decently priced with lots of variety for visitors of all creatures great and small. There is a huge cabinet selection that also caters for all with the Little Vanilla Cupcakes appealing to a number of the young folk that were there with Mums and Dads.
I have had coffee here before and it's decent. Supreme is the brand they use and it hits the spot, especially early on a Sunday.
The staff are lovely. Looks like they know their regulars and the person behind the counter apologised that I had to wait a couple of minutes when it clearly wasn't her fault that the person in front of me was ordering half the cabinet.
The atmosphere is really family friendly. There are plenty of tables big and small, a kids play area, and room for the aforementioned push chair. I'm not sure the decor they're doing for (seems a bit sparse to work it out) but that isn't a big deal as the rest of the visit is genuinely decent. Thanks Floyd's team. See you again soon!
Me & my family enjoy eating here. Weve been here a few times. Nice family style meals. We tend to eat eggs benedict or the bushmens meal (savory mince on toast with a egg on top). Casual atmosphere. Great service. Right in the heart of Island Bay shops, very close to public transport & carparking.
