Not a bad cafe experience for an airport fast food outlet. The coffee and toasted roll were excellent and less costly than most inner city Wellington cafes. The service was fast and friendly and food good value for an airport terminal

The best part was definitely the spinach feta muffin! After one muffin, I found myself craving more of them for several days after. The coffee and breakfast sandwich were good, but the muffin was where they shined. Service was quick, and the cafe area was clean.

Reasonable airport cafe with great coffee and very friendly and well organised staff. As you can imagine especially in the morning everyone wants their coffee either before the flight or after landing and they have really efficient system that I have not seen in other cafes. You place your order and get your delicious coffee on no time. Good choice of alternative milk options and blend is quite good. If you are hungry you can grab quick bite or pastry, but there are few breakfast options as well if you have more time. Overall absolutely amazing and my first choice for WEL airport coffee.

Not a bad coffee for an airport. Nicely presented flat white, personally I wasn't keen on the flavour or the fact there were no cups other than the takeaway ones. Service was pleasant enough & the seating had good views of the runway & charging ports

Based on personal experience, coffee bought from the airport is not usually the best cuppa. However, was pleasantly surprised upon discovering how good their coconut flat white is! Also love that they have charging stations for that mobile device boost you need before your flight
