BEST CAFE in WELLINGTON? + Best Bakery and Brownies!

The culinary capital of New Zealand boasts the scientifically-proven fact that it has more cafes per capita than New York or London! Among those cool cafes are a sea of fantastic brunch options where partaking in this mid-morning ritual is almost mandatory when visiting Wellington. This was our last day in Windy Welly so we had to make a few stops and tick off some more places off our must-eat list!

We visit Leeds Street Bakery which is one of the best bakeries in the whole of New Zealand and they're known for their iconic caramel cookie. For brunch, we hit up Olive, which could possibly be the best cafe in Wellington with its beautiful outdoor garden and amazing food! Finally, we had to cross off the brownies from Lashings and get a final flat white before departing the coolest little capital city.

Enjoy!

Food & Places:
~ Leeds Street Bakery ~
An iconic Wellington institution slinging the finest breads and pastries in the capital. Their iconic salted caramel cookie is a must get!

~ Olive ~
It's an awesome cafe on Cuba Street that is a worthy contender for the best brunch in Wellington among fellow Cuba Street titans Loretta, Floriditas and Fidel's Cafe! With a beautiful outdoor garden dining area, this place is well-known for breakfast and brunch but their dinner here is also reportedly sublime.

~ Lashings ~
Another gem in Hannah's Laneway! They serve probably the best brownies as well as other desserts in Welly!

~ Customs Brew Bar ~
Can't end a trip to Wellington without some more coffee. Just a few steps away from Hannah's Laneway, this cafe is a great spot to chill and relax. We only got to have coffee here but their sandwiches and toasties are also great apparently.
