Nikau Cafe

The only place I know that makes Kedgeree, a lovely moist rice dish with smoked fish – it is superb, definitely 5 stars. The photo doesn’t really do it justice. If I lived in Wellington I’d come here all the time. Great coffee too.

Went at about 12: PM on a Sunday and the place was packed! Lots of people seemed to have reserved tables. Was really nice inside with the sun shining in.

Food is quite expensive, e.g $7 for a regular chocolate chip muffin (like the size of the ones you can buy in set of six for $6 at the supermarket). The cheese scone was also very lacking in flavour, couldn’t really taste the cheese.

They do use supreme coffee though, which was lovely. Our waitress was great and delivered everything straight away and was super friendly.

Overall great service and atmosphere, but just lacking in affordability and flavour.

The best creamy mushrooms on toast in the city. And it’s vegan! They also make a very nice mocha with oat milk. Love their outdoor seating.

Great place for brunch on a weekend. One of the few places that opens for reservations. The eggs and toasts were good. So was the coffee. Best options – Kedgeree 👍👍👍 The Cheese Scone was only microwaved, not toasted though. But they let us know in advanced.

Tasty specials, good friendly service even tho they were full which is nice. Flavourful with fresh ingredients. Everything was served warm and we’ll presented. Make good use of the outside seatings on a sunny Wellington day with sunscreen, some tables have umbrellas.
