This is the SLOWEST place in Welly to get a coffee. If they're busy, you'll wait 20 minutes for a take away (which is kind of understandable). If it's…

I enjoy some of their meals but have been disappointed quite a few times here. Also, PLEASE can this place get some cake covers for their food, last time I was there I was going to order some red velvet cake til I noticed the fly burrowing into the slice the whole time I waited in line. On a separate occasion I saw a server swiping a fly out of the cabinet. The cake incident put me off of ever retuning – hence the one star 🙁
Great tasting coffee but poor service. Waited 17 minutes after ordering when they had very few customers. No apology when I pointed this out. They serve last order first.
I regularly go to home cafe due to the large open space and it’s proximity to the office, making it the perfect place for a meeting however the service is horrendous. The attitude of the young man who usually serves on the counter is appalling. He is rude, surly and extremely unhelpful. The rest of the staff are not much better. Food and drinks are often slammed on the table or just abandoned and not given to the person who ordered it if in a group. They regularly do not tell you if food has run out and just give you a sub-par replacement. Once a waitress even argued with our table over this when a friend of mine was served eggs benedict with no English muffin as advertised and scrambled eggs not poached. If a meal doesn’t even resemble the item advertised you need to tell your customers not argue with them that you’ve just had a busy day and that’s all you had. The food itself is okay but nothing to get excited about. If they improved their service and actually employed people that gave a damn it has the potential to be a real little gem of a cafe.
Good tasting coffee. The pastries and nibbles on offer are great as well. Great atmosphere and convenient location -although parking can be an issue. Cool place and highly recommended.
Coffee is somewhat average, but a brilliant place for meetings. The large space means that even at rush hour it isn’t too hard to find a seat, and even when it’s crowded, it doesn’t get too loud which is really good when you’re having a meeting and is not something that can be said about many of Wellington’s cafes. There’s a wide variety of seating too which is a nice touch.
Great counter food and good coffee. Always a busy place but I never have to wait for long. It would be nice to have a little more seating as is quite a big space and is usually busy. Good friendly service. I recommend the cheese scones 😉
This is a busy cafe located in the National Library of New Zealand in Thorndon. It has a huge amount of seating, which can be its downfall with staff finding it difficult to locate where you are seated.It serves Havana coffee with an array of savoury and sweet cabinet foods. It also has a pretty good range of gluten free options, though I wish the sweet options were changed up a bit – it’s always the same three items: brownies, friands and orange cake. Also their coffee is very inconsistent – one day great, the next day burnt or even weak. They do give discount when you bring a keep cup which is a bonus.Just time your visit right here as it usually has a queue to the door, especially around lunchtime.
