Janus Bakkerij

This is a good places. Prices have definitely gone up but then this is post Covid era.nFood is tasty and service is acceptable. It’s a busy place so be prepared to wait.nI had smashed avocado with salmon 29$ no eggs. Extra 3$ for eggs long black was 4.5$znServing size is medium.

If you’re after great coffee and a huge variety of cabinet choices, this is the place to be! From sandwiches, to salads, savoury, sweet desserts etc. There is also a menu you can order from and the place is often bustling so best to book if you have a few going.

Janus is hands down one of the best cafes in Lower Hutt and it has been my go-to café for past 5 years.The food and the selections are always a delight.The steak pies and donut of the day is my recommendation.But in my past few visits I felt like their service has not been up to the mark. During my last visit the staff took away my food even before I finished it.I would have expected the staff to ask me if I have finished it before he takes away the plates. I get that it was jam packed on a Sunday but still would have been nice to ask the customer. Please take this into consideration.

Roomy cafe with beautiful ambience and wonderful bakery items. Had the pie and flat white and both were what you expect good food to be. My pie was the steak jalapeño and cheese pie which was really good. The combination is not a common one, but it works amazingly well.

Arguably one of the best sit down café in all of Hutt maybe even Wellington. Food was SUPERB!!! Like the best we've had in ages. I had a simple scrambled eggs and bacon. Kids had pancakes [four pancakes in caramel sauce, beef enchiladas for the 13 yo and smashed avo for wife [she rated as best ever]. Large coffee comes with a quad shot which I dialed back to two. Wife said her long black was divine. Busy busy place and omg.... that food cabinet. You won't be disappointed. There is free parking close by and a very dangerous gift shop next door. Enjoy
