Excellent staffs and service <3
I am a regular to Colonial Cafe and can attest to their high quality savouries and baked goods. My only critique is that they always run out of pies very early in the day, which is a real shame when visiting for lunch
Our family went to this little cafe twice while we were in Wellington. Both times it was pumping. We had great food and great service. Fast & Friendly. Would definitely come back & will recommend to everyone we know. Dunedin-ites.
I have tried this cafe a few times and came in again the other week, I found the place heaving ! was very busy but the service still fast. Great coffee and fantastic food, I will definitely come back.
Recommend the daily specials for great meals at half the price of other cafes
Very nice, very cool people. Love the food, the price and the service. It's my local on the terrace, they even remember your name keep it up guys A+ I go there everyday to grab a sammie, well done guys keep up the good work!
Recommend for the new guests
Briliant friendly services as well as the coffee.
They are always busy in the morning tea and hardly to get the seat at lunch time if you come in as a group accepted if you have make a booking before hand.
Nice berries and bananas smoothies.
They have a awesome warm chicken salad and soup of the day.
I have a loyalty with this cafe for 2 - 3 years now.
Also reasonable prices for CBD areas.
Consistently good food and always busy. The ham or bacon eggs benedict are cooked to perfection. They serve seriously good shakes here, and the coffee is OK, although I am from Melbourne and I tend to judge places harshly for coffee in comparison. In reality, I would have given this place 3 and a half stars rather than 4, but 3 seemed too harsh.
Cheap and friendly. Sometimes my orders have been mucked up, but they have always been apologetic! Good range of lunch food at very reasonable prices, and a relaxing atmosphere - kinda feels like a friend's flat than a swanky cafe.
A lovely little cafe, very popular with local professionals. Extensive menu of delicious items - the only place I have managed to find chocolate iced custard squares in Wellington city!
The best thing about Colonial Cafe is that it doesn't try to be up-market or cater for some niche consumer. It's a classic kiwi-style cafe, the sort Wellington used to have.
10/10 service, welcoming atmosphere, and coffee is great every time. Great range of menu options. The young man who makes coffee & runs tables has amazing service & makes a perfect coffee every time. Thank you! Highly recommend Colonial Cafe.
Lovely coffee. Decent menu and the kitchen is quick and efficient, but also a good selection from the cabinet if you need to grab and go. Eggs Benedict was simple and delicious. A cozy busy vibe in the morning but still enough space for the takeaway crowd to get through without trouble. Staff were great, seem to be really happy here and they get the job done quickly while still being friendly. Good job guys 👍
Good food, good service and nice atmosphere.
The coffee is always good, the food is always good, and the staff, the staff are second to none! Absolutely loveliest people, efficient, kind, so friendly, always smiling, and just absolutely delightful.
Been coming here quite a few times over the last month and has quickly become one of my favourite cafes, staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. Would definitely recommend to give it a try.
Friendly, relaxed comfortable cafe. We had a colonial breakfast and was ample food! Good selection of cabinet food as well.

Honestly my favourite go to cafe, these beautiful people make my day every time I go in. Beautiful coffee, beautiful service, beautiful people ♥️
Nice food and good service. Popular, so can be a bit difficult to find a table.
Recommended by a local.
Awesome. Had the big Breakfast at $25.50.
The food looked clean and fresh and tasted the same way with every mouth full as for the pastry it was to die for with pastry crum all over the front of my top. Who cares when the food tasted this good.
Maybe the Breakfast chefs from Old Baileys should go up the Terrace to the Colonial Cafe and get a lesson on how to respect the food your handling for your customers.
Colonial Cafe your awesome.
A regular go to lunch spot. A wide variety on the menu but I personally love the toasted sandwiches! Great price and delicious. Staff are very friendly!
Great coffee and food which isn't over priced for location on The Terrace. The portion are excellent and savouries tasty. An old style sandwich bakery with old style service.
Great breakfast. Great Coffee. Stopped at this gem every weekday morning on a recent business trip and had a few different menu items, but the colonial poached eggs were just plain perfect. Also appreciated that the servings were the right size and the prices were very good for a downtown business district. Will certainly return on the next visit.
I've been here before because it keeps things simple at good prices, e.g. bacon and egg sandwich. The colonial burger was nice but at $23 I won't be returning for lunch.
The scrambled eggs with hash browns and their homemade shortbread make this place my go to.
You make ask yourself how good can scrambled eggs be? Try it for yourself and thank me later.
They make delicious cheese scones and have great service.
Super yummy breakfast, cosy atmosphere. Food is tasty and quite healthy. Staff is nice, service is quick. Highly recommend!
This is the coolest little place on the terrace.
It is now my local...I have all work meetings there and now my colleagues go there too.
Just the little place...nice food and great coffee. 20 stars!
