Cafe on The Square

Coke should not be in the coffee trade - get Peoples or Supreme or Good Fortune.and bring back the Aro Bake counter food!

My favourite place to get Eggs Benedict, it’s sooo good! Yolk is perfect amount of runny, ham is delicious and they put on a generous amount of hollandaise. Delicious! The iced mocha is also super yummy with a ball of ice cream included!

They should improve their food if they want to sell the place. Actually the last times we ate they were bad dishes. The coffee is very good, the people are super friendly.

Weirdest and worst chicken nachos I have ever had. The chicken was choopped nuggets (the spongey "meat" kind), and there were large chunks of raw onion. The cheese was odd, perhaps a kind of cheese sauce? Overall, not very tasty. I was also overcharged by about $5. Would not go back here.
The guy serving was very friendly though.

I recommend this place. I have lunch here about once a week. The manager, Ranjit, is always smiling and friendly and they do the BEST fish and chips! Crisp and delicious.

Today I took my grandson in for a fluffy and myself a coffee at 10.30am. The floor was disgusting, very dirty, the legs of some of the tables were dirty and rusty. A very very small slice was $4.50. The lady was lovely but the man was unfriendly. I also had to wipe down the highchair myself before putting my grandsone into it. What a shame as a great spot.

Coffee is steaming hot! Cafe clean and well set out. On sunny days, absolutely gorgeous! Very friendly, warm staff.

I think it is the best cafe in the Wellington. Almost every day I go there for lunch or breakfast or coffee. Varieties of menu, perfect portions and so tasty. Specially their Boomerang mugs for takeaway coffee. Their customer service is outstanding.

This has to be the worst place I have eaten at in Wellington. First off, the savoury side of the cabinet has many vegan options but not one gluten free option and the sweet side of the cabinet has the exact opposite. The fish and chips was just two pieces of bought in frozen fish, and chips. No lemon wedge or salad leaves, just fish and chips thrown on the plate. I wouldn’t feed a dog the chicken nachos. This was 10% chicken 90% beans, not heated right, some parts were lukewarm some parts were cold. Big chunks of raw onion. Covered in white sauce that was disgusting, cold and bitter. Was it suppose to be cheese? Both meals came out at different times and there was quite a wait even though the cafe was quiet. Very over priced for what we got. Coffee was fine but very disappointed with the food.

Soy flat white all curdled, couldn't drink it. Didn't complain as the staff didn't seem very friendly. Would suggest if they are offering this coffee they need to change to a barista specific type to prevent this from happening. Eggs Benedict was satisfactory

Has a wide range of vegetarian and omnivore food. The vegan kumara and cashew nut pies are definitely worth trying.

The customer service is lovely, and they make a really good iced coffee.
Spacious cafe with air conditioning and good lighting.

Recommended if you're visiting Karori and want coffee, lunch and a chill moment.
Thanks to the woman who made my iced coffee, you get 5 stars for being the best:)

Coffee and some food is good. Some food feels poorly done with cheap quality ingredients, however

Nice to have a real 'coffee' after 5 weeks in lockdown. Cafe on the Square providing great service given the circumstances.support our local business:)

Great location next to library. Love to visit everyday and enjoy cup of cappa while reading Dom post.

If there was a lower star than 1 that’s what I would review it as. Disgusting, cold, soggy and burnt big breakfast mushrooms tasted like rubber. My dog didn’t even eat it when I put it in his bowl. Considering I spent 55 dollars on this revolting food I will never be buying from this place again. Was my first time using Uber eats and I’m totally disappointed. If I could upload pictures of this food I would. Nobody should eat here.

Good quality coffee but not the happiest of staff behind the counter. The middle aged man serving me looked like he would have preferred to be elsewhere. Great location and food looked good but I was not eating this visit.

Fine for a quick bite. Mid-range cafe prices. Family friendly and quick service, but small things spoil the overall rating: toilet available but a bit on the shabby side, and lipstick smear left on the tea cups we were served.

The milkshake size is perfect. Most places have milkshakes big enough to give an entire year 4 class sugar rush, but here the milkshake is the perfect size for one person.

Also had a pie. It was fine.

Our first impression was that the cafe was untidy, it took waiters a very long time to clear tables (they didnt even wipe the tables down afterwards) coffee took about half an hour (received with my meal) could do with more staff during peak hours. Food and coffee was alright once we got it.
