Wellington's most established all day and late night cafe, Midnight is one of the best places in town for cheap eats any time of the day. Midnight certainly lives up to its name and is one of the last places on Cuba Street to score a coffee and a feed. Laid back and relaxing, they also offer a range of predominately vegetarian counter and menu food, with awesome flavour and presentation to match. Midnight Espresso are users and stockists of Havana coffee - NZ's only cuban coffee wholesalers. Also available are freshly cut and squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, vegan, vegetarian, and wheat-free food. Enjoy a standard all day breakfast - eat in or takeaway. Disabled access also available.

Stopped by to catch up with a mate. Food was all very nicely displayed and tasted great. Didn’t actually order any drinks but my friend mentioned that his coffee was good. Would definitely consider going back for a place to catch up with a mate

I went this place for coffee as someone strongly recommended. The coffee was fine, but the staff was terrible. It was Sun 17th Feb at around 3.30-4ish.
Firstly, the staff who served me on the counter didn’t say anything to me when I was going to order, but facial expression was like ‘what do you want’. She was saying hi friendly to others (my observation of her attitude afterwards).
I ordered apple crumble cake for take away, when she cut the piece, the cake was crumbled so much that I have never taken such cake, but i didn’t ask for another piece. There was no offer for another piece or apology.
Another one that I ordered was ‘red capsicum filled with rice’. My daughter specifically told the ‘red’ one, but she picked the ‘green’ one. I asked her to change to red one and she made a face like we are making all other customers waiting as if we are a nuisance.
I thought she would give me a receipt or at least would ask me whether I want like in any other places. She simply went on to the next customer. So, I asked the receipt and got it.
The food presentation at the counter looked good and taste was fine, the coffee was not top, but fine.
The service – standoffish, cold and rude. I won’t go back. -

Midnight Espresso is my default go-to whenever I’m in the mood for a late-night cup of coffee. The drinks are always delicious, and the staff are friendly and professional, but would it kill them to turn down that damn music? It’s the only thing preventing me from giving Midnight Espresso five stars/an ‘excellent’ rating; it’s just. Too. LOUD! For that reason, I’ll always have my order made to go; I don’t need to risk damaging my hearing any more by listening to the Hipster Top 100 at 50,000 decibels.

Moorish food, ALWAYS good coffee, what ever hour of the night.
You know a place is good when you look around and see its a melting pot of all very different types of people.
Try the turkish sandwich, you won’t be disappointed.
