The Beanery by Mojo

Love it here. I go at least 3 or 4 times a week and have for a year now. Love it and love the staff! Amazingly priced coffee and always a good interaction too.

What could have been 5 stars…

Staff is friendly, modern shop looks nice, and equipment that shows they know what they are doing… However, a female barista who was busy poured the espresso shot for my piccolo and left it sitting for over two minutes before putting in the frothed milk. This is a guarantee of an overly and unnecessarily bitter beverage. She served it to me and it was exactly that: sharply bitter.

I asked immediately after tasting if it was normal to leave out a shot so long and the other barista threw out my beverage, apologized, and pulled another one immediately. It was great, five stars worthy. He followed up with more apologies and an offer for another free beverage.

(I had been waiting for years to go to this location after studying the Professional Barista’s Handbook to perfect my own craft.)

I’m only in Wellington for one day, had I not been paying attention I would have wound up with a terrible experience wondering why The Beanery and Mojo in general is worth it.

Another excellent Mojo coffee shop with friendly staff who know about great service and superb barista coffee
