Sierra Cafe

Lovely hidden cafe that is open on Saturdays as well. The current gluten free corn fritters and bacon can be highly recommended - a solid and delicious meal. Love that patrons can choose whether to sit on the dark side or light side of the cafe. There’s an option for everyone, also whether you want a table or a coveted couch. If you access it via the lift in the building, it is wheelchair friendly too.

I come here in the mornings to get breakfast on the days I have to work in town. It's one of the few places that open early enough for me to do this. Thankfully the food and coffee are of a great standard. While the decor isn't amazing, service is pleasant and I can always get a table. It tends to be a reasonably buzzy atmosphere with people stopping in for takeaways and coffee catch ups.

Have been here about 4 times now so definitely experienced. Good prices, great location, very knowledgeable friendly staff. Only thing I’d critique is for things that come with toast like scrambled eggs or eggs Benedict, please either butter the toast first or give 2 butters. It’s really inconvenient and messy having to scoop all my eggs off, half butter them then scoop it all back on. Plus a bit wasteful all the little plastic butter containers. I really like it here other than that, coffee is my fav.

Lovely, roomy cafe on the 2nd level on Capital on Quay. My partner and I visit it every time we come to Wellington. Their coffees are absolutely divine, really living up to the coffee culture experience that you expected when visiting Welly. We were recommended the Sticky Piggy Burger and the Meat Lover Burger for lunch, which tasted excellent. Almost like a bao bun filling but in burger form. Would 100% recommend. But coffee and food aside. The staff are lovely, friendly, and really put effort in making you feel welcome. One of my favourite coffee spots

Nice decor in a central location in the heart of Wellington, beautiful pies could be better not heated in microwave, front staff appeared annoyed having to serve me, did my best to cheer her up smiling back. Was told where I could sit, only in the carpeted area?

Steak & cheese pie was microwaved warm; delicious but soggy pastry. Side of chips kept hot from delivery until last one heaten.Food: 3/5

We enjoyed breakfast at the Sierra Cafe each morning of our stay in Wellington. The Coffee was spot on. The small breakfast is perfect! But be warned, the scones are too, too good.

Had the Reuben toasted sandwich. Tasted ok but a bit stingy on the filling. 1 slice of pastrami, 1 slice of cheese, a few strands of saurekraut don't make a Reuben.Food: 3/5

Had the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had made by the chic with the pink hair. Would recommend!!

Not tasty. Herbs were offputting. Butter tiny. Bread small.Food: 1/5
