Never experienced anything like this! A truly perfect meal in a classy and minimalist diner. Got to spend quality time with my dad (for the first time in a long time) over a delightful plate. My dad paid $16 for an enormous breakfast and I paid $10 for a salad and chips. Food was 11/10 and the owner/operator was the kindest woman I have ever met (nicer than my nana). Thank you for everything. Thank you for bringing my family back together

This place is the best! The food is great and the bottomless Filter coffee was the best we ever drank. Additionally Shirley and her sister are the cutest and will make you feel like you know them for years. 10/10 would recommend

Best service from Shirley, hub for bus drivers, characters and old people sharing war stories. Food doesn’t mess around - large delicious portions and yummy cakes and sweets. Classic old school New Zealand spot.

Shirley has been running this place for years. Best value for money breakfast in Wellington. Standard bacon and eggs comes with a heaping of bacon and two eggs any style plus toast and a side plate of fried slice [genuine greasy spoon]. I like my bacon extra crispy... local treasure!!!!

This place is THE best kept secret. Tucked away in Kilbirnie, this little delightful ambient spot is THE perfect place if you're in the mood for nostalgic home cooked tucker! Small and quaint, the delicious aromas attract those far and local. Great coffee and great company
