Decadent Sunday nibbles at Pollux

ACDC have just steamrolled through town, leaving a trail of unshaven and slightly dazed looking bogans, loose in the city.  It’s almost a bonus that the rain is falling, keeping the streets relatively clear of the black-shirted brigade that had been flooding into the capital over the last few days. But Sunday’s mission remains the same for ...

Brew Bar Spectacular

A well known barista once told me that he thought Supreme was the best coffee brand out of all those regularly used in Wellington cafes.  I suppose he may have been somewhat prejudiced due to what his cafe actually sold, but he had been around the coffee traps for a while so I’m inclined to take him at his word. He’s been out of the game for ...

Breakfast with the Duke

There is an old story about the Duke Carvell that goes something like this: In his youth, the Duke was a prolific wanderer and adventurer, always seeking trade and good times. While crossing a field on a rather weather-beaten mule, the alleged “royal” was waylaid by a group of brigands demanding either his gold or his life.  Having none of ...

Strange delights at Mon Ami

 Mon Ami is a little... er... strange.  And not strange/wacky like, say, Offbeat Originals - but strange as in different.  Foreign. Before I get branded a redneck or a hater, let me first say that this is a very good thing (Being different that is, not being a redneck or a hater). Mon Ami isn’t trying to establish itself in the ...

Reasons to Love Offbeat Originals

There are two things that make Offbeat Originals such a standout little cafe. The second being that they offer an experience which is quite different from that of your average franchise eatery.  The first is that they are cheap.  Very, very cheap.  This is kinda nice when everyone is going around dishing out R-words like they were ...

Fidel's brunch: Best Cure for the Weekday Blues

It’s the weekend - and if you happen to have had a week to forget, and/or a night out you have trouble remembering, it’s probably time for a good, hearty brunch. Because there’s practically nothing better than chilling in comfy surrounds with a large plate of yummy food in front of you. The best place to make a little mid-morning nest for ...

Musing over Muesli

I appreciate a good serving of well crafted muesli, one that has a nice blend of complementary nuts, seeds, dried fruits and honey-tones.  My appreciation has soared recently after a failed attempt to toast my own muesli… though it was most definitely the interweb that lead me astray… how was I to know that two cups of vegetable oil would ...

Re: Best suburban Cafe in our fair city?

I love Maranui's Pencarrow Oat Pancake Stack with berry compote.But if I could only choose one, I'd vote for Cafe Polo in Miramar for wonderful fresh, seasonal food and amazing baked goods.

I Know I've Said Before That I Don't Have A Sweet Tooth, But...

You'll know from previous episodes that I've said I'm too much of a sourpuss to have a sweet tooth. However, there are a couple of fine sweet treats that I'm reasonably partial to. Anything lemon or vanilla, and of course, lovely neenish tarts, which are at the top of the list (two people last week individually told me that they had seen neenish ...

Plum Café has completely nailed it…

We’re pretty lucky in Wellington… there are plenty of establishments that offer a fine espresso, tasty counter treats and a consistently delicious menu… so what separates the best from the rest?! Well I think its three simple things: location, atmosphere and choice and Plum Café has nailed it…Situated right, smack, bam in the middle of Cuba Street ...
