If I only had one day to live, I would start it with breakfast at Caffe L’affare.
The atmosphere is incredible. Liz runs the place so well. The coffee is amazing & the food is perfect.
This place seems to capture everything great about the coolest little capital in the world! -

This place is slightly overrated. The coffee is always spilled by the time it arrives to your table and isn’t that good considering its an on site roasting. I feel that you can’t really relax there as it quite pushy and fast paced. The eggs Benedict i heard was one of the best so i ordered it but i was a let down. Rather small, and the eggs taste as if they were cooked in vinegar. I’m not sure if I’ll return.

I was pretty disappointed with Caffe L’affare…. I ordered an Iced Coffee, the waiter came to the table and said ‘Iced Chocolate’ I said ‘I ordered Iced Coffee’ he paused for a moment then said ‘this is Iced Coffee’ and put it down in front of me. I tasted it, and it was Iced Chocolate. I said to a different waiter ‘I ordered Iced Coffee’ he looked it and said ‘that is Iced Coffee’…. they eventually (after a LONG wait) replaced it. I could not believe they were so blatantly rude. I would have had no problems if they just had of said ‘oh sorry’ etc. The food was okay, nothing to rave about. The service is so bad.

I personally believe this could be one of the best cafe’s in Wellington. I much prefer the food, coffee and staff over Brooklyn cafe next door. Familiar faces and an awesome atmosphere, not to mention delicious food.
I especially like it when they mix the cabinet food up a bit and maybe could make this a more regular thing. Staff can sometimes come over abrupt. -

Coffee has been good and food okay.
Over rated and would not e first choice for coffee down that end of town.
