    With a bright and cozy entrance, in the back there is a patio filled with tables for everyone to hang out, have coffee and dine outside. And the best part? They have free, unlimited Wi-Fi. Read more

    Beautiful cafe on Cuba street, lovely and quiet in the afternoons for reading a book. Plus, the flat whites are fab.

    Beautiful art on the walls and delicious food. Good service today plus the big window in the second room is the perfect spot for people watching on Cuba.

    Charmante. Iffy service but the incredible backyard garden makes up for it. Local fresh food.

    The Courtyard is really quite special here and the thing that sets Olive apart.

    Two days in a row and very different experience. Perfect service one day below average the next. Waited 30 mins for coffee. Food was great tho.

    Lovely hummus & toast, sirloin, and risotto. Lovely staff also, perhaps a recent change?

    Rude and inattentive staff and for the price paid there are better places in Wellington to be had. Keep it up this way and the establishment will go into liquidation again.

    Lovely food, good staff EXCEPT the older woman with the bob haircut. She's very rude and shouldn't be serving customers. I come here heaps and she is invariably awful.

    Portuguese sardines come in a TIN. On the plate. Maybe it was supposed to be funny, but I wasn't laughing at $18
