One of half a dozen socialista grunge cafes in Wellington – for some reason something we do really well. I suppose fit out costs are reasonably low and the cleaning bill isn’t horrendous so more effort can go on food and coffee. I have to confess that since it opened in some bygone Palaeolithic era I rarely went to deluxe. It’s in a place that, unless you live locally, you have to make an effort to get to – like the embassy, Capitol and a couple of good Chinese restaurants on the same strip. But with the film festival deluxe comes into its own. Half a dozen coffees and slices later I remembered why it has been here so long – simply because it’s very good. Despite the crowds, every cap and flat white was excellent, service was brilliant, and the food worth eating (not an assumption to be made at all Wellington cafes). I loved the union-aid bags for sale and I think it’s great to mix politics and food – pity there were no pony tails. Funny really, you could almost say that deluxe and Rosie’s represent the politics and the cultures of our respective cities. Highly recommended for those of all persuasions.
I wanted to try this cafe after reading that it was the same owners than Maranui (which is my favorite).And I was not disappointed! There is no kitchen, just counter food and coffee machine, but the food is great, same healthy delicious recipes than the Maranui!! Service is ok, unpretentious atmosphere, whereas the food is much better quality than in many fancy-pants places.In the city centre, open also on Sundays, quiet: I will definitely return frequently for a quick lunch at a table or take away.
Great cafe. Always a great selection of tasty (original) food and great cofee!
I have been going to Deluxe Espresso Bar for 8 years and I love it. The cafe suits my dietary requirements – diary free, healthy and delicious. I have always found the staff to be absolutely friendly, helpful, and able to communicate with all age groups and personality types. The staff are the bonus in a consistently excellent cafe.
Shame about the attitudeStaff seem to think it is cool to make coffee and work for minimum wageLaughable reallyFood is very good and the coffee awesome Unfortunately the too cool for school twenty something’s working there make it very unpleasantWill not be returning
I love Deluxe, it’s busy, warm, fun and exciting! The ever changing Art for sale is another reason I love coming here. The smells floating down Kent Terrace when the evening baker is cooking brownies is to die for. The employee’s don’t take themselves too seriously and look like they are all happy to be there and seeing how many orders they know of by heart boggles my mind. 20 or so years old and still the best vibe in Wellington.
Coffee – meh. As bad as the spelling of the cafe – what were they thinking? I asked for a Ristretto, had to explain myself. This from supposedly baristas. Don’t go here if you actually expect a good coffee. I won’t be back.
