Lovely coffee and a lot if options to choose to compliment your drink. I had butter scotch gluten free cake and it was simply delicious. Come here enjoy a nice coffee while reading your books.
I love this family run place! I have been coming here for years – and Clarks has got it all! Fantastic food, outstanding staff and brilliant location and atmosphere. Having young kids, it is really good being able to sit back, relax and take 5 as they enjoy the playground. I love coming here in the summer and going for a stroll straight after in Civic square and the water front in the sun. The coffee and food here really are excellent! My favorite are their cheese scones and steak and mushroom pies. If you are a sweet tooth – check out the Clark’s chocolate cake and millionaires slice!! Finally, can I just say one more time how awesome the staff are here – so friendly, helpful and kind. You are hard pushed to find a more hospitable café in Wellington. I highly recommend!
Great spot for coffee and cakes if you visit Wellington Central library. Run by a mother and her son and daughter with staff. Food in display prepared in house. Coffee is nice but they don’t deliver to your table but you will need to wait and get your coffee. Don’t expect a good service from staff. Can be very busy. However very nice spot and decent food. Recommended!
BEST scrambled eggs on toast around!!! perfect portion sizing and was quick service on the food front. However, was not a fan of their coffee
The step before Floriditas, and just like it, Julie Clark’s Library café has had what it takes to survive. Since its opening I’ve been countless times – usually bringing the kids to the library and giving them a treat afterwards. Its pretty standard stuff but its cosy, the low ceilings give it a warmth, the bookish ambience is restful, it’s clean, and the lighting is subdued.I ordered, a piece of Louise Cake and on asking what black teas they had was told an English breakfast tea and Earl Grey, although from memory I’m sure there was a Ceylon OP (orange pekoe). I ordered the EBT. I was asked as to milk requirement and what sort of milk I would like (this is rare in Wellington cafes).The Louise cake had a good meringue topping but was light on the jam layer and very thick in the shortbread, giving it a rather dry consistency – not delicious as it should be.The tea came in a pottery teapot – loose leaf. This came with a thick ceramic cappuccino cup, which was cold. On pouring, the tea was initially hot and sippable but faded to tepid reasonably quickly as the cup’s heat sink took effect. I find tepid tea unpleasant.The tea had less character than I expected – nothing overtly interesting – but still pleasant. It was a good colour and mild astringency.The tea was tea-Total and I assume the EBT was actually their organic Assam Breakfast Tea. Overall Clark’s did well.So :1. Specialist tea offerings (the variety of unflavoured teas): 2/52. Brew temperature (the likelihood that the tea was brewed with boiling water): 5/53. Cup temperature (how much of a heat sink was the cup – a thick, cold pottery cup scores 0, a warm thin china cup scores 5): 0/54. Milk requirements (was I asked about milk and what type of milk): 5/55. Strength (too weak or strong =0, just right = 5): 4/56. Taste (bad=0, excellent=5): 3/5Clark’s Total 19/30Scoreboard:Soho Brown : 8/30 (Harney’s – sachet)Sweet Bakery and Cakery : 9/30 (Harney’s – sachet)Bon Gusto : 10/30 (Twinings – tea bag)Bellagio : 11/30 (Twinings – tea bag)K and S Cafe : 11/30 (Harney’s – Satchet)Astoria : 11/30 (Enzo – loose leaf)Rosina’s : 11/30 (Bell – tea bag)Hangar : 11/30 (t-Leaf – loose leaf)Lamason : 12/30 (Twinings – tea bag)Ombra : 13/30 (Chai Ui – loose leaf)Hey George 16/30 (Stash – tea bag)Chocolate Frog : 17/30 (t-Leaf – loose leaf)The Little Tea Shop : 18/30 (Tea-Total – loose leaf)Louis Sargeant : 19/30 (?Harney’s – loose leaf in large sachet)Clark’s : 19/30 (Tea-total – loose leaf)Suggestion: Heat the cups properly.Now to the Lido.
This is one of my favourite local spots and they make really good coffee using People’s beans. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Their rice paper rolls are great value and really tasty and their pies are outstanding – be careful though they tend to be on the hot side. Highly recommend – I love these guys and I love the library!
A regular spot for coffee and a quick bite to eat. There is a lot of food on offer but not a lot of it appeals. Toilets nearby are clean, the service is fairly average though there is plenty of seating and free wifi.
