Smith the Grocer Cafe

Great customer service and loved the option to dine in the atrium area. Good coffee and food arrived fairly quickly. Unfortunately the chicken Vietnamese salad and courgette fritters didn't match the rest of our experience. Very bland and a non-evenful.

Kawhe was good, service also. Atmos suffered from noisy American tourists. Spot might be nice otherwise.

Fabulous place. Definitely go again. Staff are all excellent people, very friendly and welcoming and in synch with their environment

Having spent the last few years looking for muffins and scones as good as Mary’s, i have finally found a cafe here in Melbourne who has the same muffin magic as Mary. The best part of my day today was sharing your ginger crunch recipe with this baker who was so keen on learning what makes a good ginger crunch. Customers of STG are super lucky to have such beautiful baking

Probably the most expensive cafe In wellington, If you're looking for good food and money is burning a hole in your pocket then go to Smith the Grocer where you can pay $6 for a Brownie, the food is nice but it's no better than what you could make at home for cents if you know what you're doing. In short if you want expensive but good food Smith the Grocer cafe might be a good idea.

Coffee is great. Food is very good as well. Service is a bit slow, but generally ok. The biggest disappointment is the portion sizes. Very inconsistent. Ordered Herbs salad a few days ago and got a decent size portion, today the same salad was about 3/4 of that.

Delicous! Incredible customer service even when they were impacted by staff shortages.

I had an apple and date scone and it was so good. Very happy, my cup is full.

Thanks team x

Thoroughly enjoyed the soup. Only downer, they have no paywave. I only use my phone and had to find a card. It was a bit embarrassing with people waiting.

Went here yesterday with family from Christchurch (they had never been before) & was very impressed
We All enjoyed out meals, Cakes, & Coffee's thanks to the Staff

I finally got to have a proper breakfast on my last day in Welly. It took a minute to find a place as the hotel I stayed at was quite out of the way so after checking out the hunt was on. Happened upon this place after walking past a couple that didn't really take my fancy. I liked my meal except for the tomatoe. I usually ask that it be removed but I totally forgot this time. Also ordered my usual Earl Grey with milk and it was nice and I think the brand is from Wellington. Staff appeared stressed and/or tired because they weren't that friendly or welcoming. I'm not a morning person myself but as a tourist this would've made a difference and added another star to my review. Great location and a variety of seating available (when it is available).

You order at the counter and collect a number, your food is then delivered.

The food we got (a croissant with ham and cheese) was very tasty. The cappuccinos were lovely as well. The staff were very friendly.

Just enjoyed the BEST Smoked Fish Kedgere I've ever tasted! Great service and very nice staff. Definitely put it on your "must go" list!

Beautiful food in the cabinet and from kitchen, elegant atmosphere, and well presented. Ive had kedgeree, frittata, signature ginger slice, and wonderful salads.

Dont let it disappear. This cafe deserves your support during these pandemic times!

This place has the best slices I've ever had, especially the ginger crunch and louise slice! The baker is so lovely she delivered our slices and chatted to us at our table. Gorgeous wee cafe, excellent service, definitely worth a visit if you're in Wellington cbd!

Nice premise, lots of yummy food to choose from. Panini was great and had a lot of fillings. Banana chocolate bread was very tasty. The scone was delicious. Wait time is good even when busy. This is our go-to place for lunch when we are in Wellington shopping for the day.

Love the coffee and cheese scones. Housed in one of the old but elegant building in Wellington, Smith the Grocer is well known for its food and coffee

Love this Cafe. A must do whenever in Wellington. Lovely food, great coffee, friendly staff. Big thumbs up

A cool vibe. Feels like you are in an outdoor courtyard (but you're not). Had an excellent coffee!

Coffee average, delicious food for reasonable price. I'm a gorgoues old arcade location. Fits in nicely with the vibe.
