Betsy

Excellent little Cafe. Lots of interesting options on the menu which I definitely plan to come back to try. Coffee was very well made, staff were friendly and the doughnut of the day was delicious.

Heads up to my fellow diners!nnWent in excited to try their vegan salad, but spotted some unexpected white chunks in it. Quick chat with the staff revealed it was feta – a bit of a mix-up since I’m lactose intolerant. Lucky I checked!nnOn the brighter side, my partner raved about the granola, and the avocado miso bagel they kindly offered as a replacement was delicious. The coffee was spot-on and we really liked the place’s vibe.nnA little heads-up: there’s a surcharge for public holidays. It wasn’t clearly noted, so our bill for a coffee, the salad, and granola came as a surprise at $35.32.nnJust wanted to share my experience. While there were hiccups, there were definitely some positives too. Hoping for a smoother run next time!

I love this place and I would be rating it five stars but recently it seems you have changed the pesto you use on your bagels. This was really disappointing for me as I loved the pesto and this new recipe just doesn’t have the same flavour or consistency. I’d love to know if there was a reason for this change.

Betsy is my favourite cafe in the whole of Island Bay and maybe even Wellington city! and I’ve been a regular since they opened. Always delicious food to be had - including lots of mouth watering cakes and donuts - and the coffee is supreme. Try the maple cold brew, you won’t regret it :- the staff are amazing and friendly and the place is in general a cosy little upbeat spot in the heart of the suburb. Wait times are never long despite being a super popular location, and you can always find a spot to sit whether that’s indoors our outside. Plus it’s dog friendly - yay! Highly recommend giving Betsy a visit.

So good, we came back the next day before leaving Welly! Coffee is excellent, plenty of vege and vegan alternatives, and the staff friendly and accomodating. It’s only a wee place so can occasionally be a bit busy and packed but they manage it well. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
