Caffe Mode

I've had to update my review Things have changed dramatically at Mode over the last five years.
Best coffee in Kelburn by far - not anymore. IDK if the baristas are trained properly. In the least the coffee is very inconsistent.
Great food - not anymore. The menu has shrunk considerably. The quality of food (ingredients) as well as the preparation has gone downhill. Suffice it to say I won't eat here anymore.

For a quick coffee and scone it's an OK cafe but there are better options in Kelburn.

Best oat cappuccino i have ever had — cabinet food is a delicious must too! Atmosphere is always vibey.such a lovely first te whanganui-a-tara local after moving from tāmaki makaurau!

I love this place Lovely and cozy atmosphere, great food and nice coffee. Just the way a cafe should be. In an era of minimalist, clinical cafes - this place feels like a home. The only downside is it isn’t open late!

Really fell in love with this place over the weekend. Such a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, non-pretentious vibe, friendly happy staff, good coffee and brunch was excellent. Ordered the Ratatouille with sourdough and the Kedgeree. Both were spot on and not much wait time considering how busy it was. Really nice window seat for groups with a leafy green outlook. Already looking forward to my next visit!

Great little cafe, super friendly staff! Only complaint is that the music is very repetitive, seems to be the same songs playing everytime I come in.

The Richest Man in Babylon by Thievery Corporation started up just as I was leaving, so I HAD to stay. Great wee Cafe and lovely staff. Happy it has recently reopened. THANK YOU

NIIIICE, cosy, intimate space. Lovely, warm staff. Sometimes filled with brassy Kelburn matrons, wielding yoga mats. Beware. Never tried the food. I don't care for food. It's a distraction from living and vert overrated.

Cozy and inviting spot that serves delicious (Havana Coffee Works Ltd) coffee and light bites. The girls were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for a quick pick-me up or a relaxing brekie. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out our Local.

This is a lovely local privately-owned cafe. Exactly what you might be looking for, for a bit of New Zealand authenticity. In the lovely Kelburn Village it's amongst the green western belt of Wellington. Not far from Zealandia and a perfect place to stop on your walk up the valley.

Caffe Mode tickles my fancy. It’s my favourite local. Great peeps. Really good coffee (Havana).

Stopped by by takeaway coffee= latte, got half a cup of luke warm coffee top with froth, didn't ask for cappuccino!
Have stopped inside before and coffee was so much better. Maybe they take care when you dine in or not turn up in fluro work gear

Lovely staff and totally delicious mushroom breakfast. The coffee was on point so I had to have another. Now I'm peaking.

Burger was OK, a little cold though and dosnt come with salad or fries. Literally just the burger in the middle of the plate for $24. Little bit boring.

We had a French toast with berry compote, and the eggs Benny. Both were fantastic, and I plan to come back to try out some more of the menu shortly.

Some of the best bacon I've had in Wellington so far as well.

Cute caffe in Kelburn area!

Love their coffee.flat white, cappucino, long black, latte, machiato and hot chocolate. Coffee is from Havana. Their brunch is also lovely. I tried the eggs benedict, florentine, on toast.as well as the muchroom bruschetta and the scones. Not to forget fresh muffins and subs.

For lunch, you can try the cheese burger, fried chicken burger, caesar salad and soup. Not many choices but love them all.

The cafe is not that big but cute. It has many art works you can also buy. It might be a bit tricky for those using wheelchairs as we also have some steps.

The staff is very friendly as well and I love the ambience.

Happy to go back here again.

Friendly service. Great coffee. Outdoor options. Their Saturday night Pizzas were a new and appreciated addition.

Cute Kelburn cafe, cabinet or menu food, lots of seating and some outside. Friendly service, lovely lunch.

Nice coffee and food when it arrives but be prepared to wait some time for your order if it’s busy

Stopped off for a delicious and filling vegan sandwich and coffee. Nice to sit outside and people watch

Cool and cosy vibe, Caffe Mode has been around for years with different owners and is a Kelburn institution. Hang out with the locals and enjoy their light cafe fair and a great coffee.
