Great place for brunch! Bottomless filter coffee, a creative menu & delicious baked goods at the counter. It can be noisy & busy but the tables turn over quickly and besides, it’s worth waiting for.

Chose to have breakfast here because of its location between my hotel and my first meeting of the morning. Tucked away in a sort of alley, I half expected it to be a bit of a dive but in fact it’s a bright, airy and large establishment that is clearly very popular with locals. The coffee(flat white) was excellent and served quickly despite the large number of patrons, and while I had a short wait for my breakfast(garlic mushrooms with spinach, toast and poached eggs) came in reasonable time and hit the spot. The egg was poached perfectly and the rest of the dish was beautifully crafted and tasty(though it could have used more seasoning).

Open gallery with very good options for breakfast and tasty pastries. They have wifi and good coffee. The best combination to get you started in your visit to Wellington.

This place is a Wellington icon — beautiful restaurant and beautiful food. Lots of variety on the menu. I’ve heard good things of the sandwiches but am yet to try one. A must try if your passing through the windy city!

Absolute perfection in a breakfast spot. Started with a delicious flat white and then had the eggs(scrambled) with avocado. Could not believe the size of the portion! I couldn’t even come close to finishing it all, and I came very hungry. Right away served by three friendly waitresses. The atmosphere was energetic but it was calm enough to enjoy eating. Could imagine coming back here to do some work on my computer in the future. Highly recommend this place to anyone, as there is something on the menu for all different tastes, as long as you appreciate good food!

Another excellent breakfast in Wellington. Really liked the chill vibe of this café. Although large in size, the feel was still fairly cozy. The scrambled eggs with avocado and smoked salmon were great. The smoked salmon was actually an entire piece of salmon, not small diced up pieces. Finished our meal with a tasty warm chocolate brioche made on the premises.

Went at 11am on a weekday for an early lunch when it wasn’t too busy — the coffee and food were amazing, the service was friendly and quick, and the space was light and airy. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be back, even though parking in the area can be a pain.

You had better get here early or else you will have to face the chaos that is the brunch rush waiting game, where the unfortunate contestants wait in a pile by the front door and hope for the best for a seat at this popular eatery. The Saturday brunch is fantastic if you are lucky enough to be seated. Try the Hampster Sandwich, an open-faced rendition of the Classic Reuben sandwich. Great coffee, and lovely service from the staff. It’s also a nice place for small and large parties as they have long, gorgeous benches and an open kitchen with countertop service for single diners. A few friendly suggestions: assign a hostess to ensure guests waiting in line are properly seated in the order in which they arrived and possibly some chairs by the front door for elderly guests. Also, please consider opening on Sundays and closing a day during the weekday.
