Provided there are no cigarette smokers camped outside in the outdoor tables of this lovely café (which can quickly overwhelm the senses inside), this is the nicest place in Kelburn to sit and have a flat white or whatever caffeinated beverage you choose. There is a languid, wood-furnished feel to t
One of those places you'd definitely go back. Love the atmosphere. I usually get a hot drink and the last time I went also got a gluten free brownie. The staff are quite young but really welcoming and friendly; they always have a nice smile on their faces. I've tried their Flat White and Chai Latte
Cute caffe in Kelburn area!
Love their coffee .. flat white, cappucino, long black, latte, machiato and hot chocolate. Coffee is from Havana. Their brunch is also lovely. I tried the eggs benedict, florentine, on toast.. as well as the muchroom bruschetta and the scones. Not to forget fresh muffins
Really fell in love with this place over the weekend. Such a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, non-pretentious vibe, friendly happy staff, good coffee and brunch was excellent. Ordered the Ratatouille with sourdough and the Kedgeree. Both were spot on and not much wait time considering how busy it was.
I love this place 😭 Lovely and cozy atmosphere, great food and nice coffee. Just the way a cafe should be. In an era of minimalist, clinical cafes - this place feels like a home. The only downside is it isn’t open late!
Cozy and inviting spot that serves delicious (Havana Coffee Works Ltd) coffee and light bites. The girls were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for a quick pick-me up or a relaxing brekie. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out our Local.
NIIIICE, cosy, intimate space. Lovely, warm staff. Sometimes filled with brassy Kelburn matrons, wielding yoga mats. Beware. Never tried the food. I don't care for food. It's a distraction from living and vert overrated.
best oat cappuccino i have ever had — cabinet food is a delicious must too!! atmosphere is always vibey. such a lovely first te whanganui-a-tara local after moving from tāmaki makaurau !!
Great little cafe, super friendly staff! Only complaint is that the music is very repetitive, seems to be the same songs playing everytime I come in.
I visited this lovely little cafe on a daily basis while staying in Kelburn Castle. I welcomed warmly and have a problem with my request but unfortunately very unfortunate. He watches me treat them with others with the same cheerful patience and the clientele is varied. The food is excellent and the
Down from Auckland for the day and stopped in a coffee and a bite, fantastic thanks girls, recommended to anyone visiting the area.
New review:
Glad it’s reopened. This was my regular back in the day.
The food is really good and the coffee is really good. The music was average as though it’s teenage pop for the staff as opposed to the customers (now the Prefab cafe playlist or Seashore Cabaret have good music), the actual staff
I've had to update my review Things have changed dramatically at Mode over the last five years.
Best coffee in Kelburn by far - not anymore. IDK if the baristas are trained properly. In the least the coffee is very inconsistent.
Great food - not anymore. The menu has shrunk considerably. The quality
Cool and cosy vibe, Caffe Mode has been around for years with different owners and is a Kelburn institution. Hang out with the locals and enjoy their light cafe fare and a great coffee.
And while in Kelburn, for a unique shopping experience pop along to the zebra crossing for womenswear, brogues,
This is a lovely local privately-owned cafe. Exactly what you might be looking for, for a bit of New Zealand authenticity. In the lovely Kelburn Village it's amongst the green western belt of Wellington. Not far from Zealandia and a perfect place to stop on your walk up the valley.
We had a French toast with berry compote, and the eggs Benny. Both were fantastic, and I plan to come back to try out some more of the menu shortly.
Some of the best bacon I've had in Wellington so far as well.
