Queen Sally's Diamond Deli

This is an excellent vegan cafe with a really good menu for people with varying dietary requirements, which is very hard to find. They have excellent bread - from spelt to the seeded bread. The salad is also excellent can highly recommend. Not pictured is the banana and peanut milkshake with almond milk which is also excellent.

Love this place. The décor is adorable and quirky, and the service is always friendly and professional. The food is absolutely delicious, and the Spelt Pie is to die for. The coffees are consistently good, as are the smoothies. The toilet is clean although located as a quirky outhouse, its interior is designed with modern comforts inside. We come here regularly and often see neighbourhood residents popping in for a drink or something to eat. The shop also sells local snacks, chocolates and flowers. Do come early as the good stuff sell out fast.

Such an adorable & tiny cafe! Upon entering you are greeted with adorable vintage decor, fun colors everywhere & a cabinet case with drool worthy foods! The inside was seriously so adorable. I wanted to soak up the adorbs vibes but it was so busy!!! You really had to think quick in line to order as many people were behind! They had a decent selection of vegan items clearly labeled. We got a mini slice of a peach strawberry cake. It was a perfect square of moist cake drizzled with frosting & topped with mini fruit. It was delicious!

My favourite cafe in Wellington, because of the staff. Great coffee too. Unfortunately I can't eat most of the food due to unique dietary requirements, but the cinnamon scrolls are good. The rest looks very good though.
