Title: A Quintessential Coffee Haven Review: Without question, Cafe Tyme continues to serve up an extraordinary blend of ambiance, delectable food, and exceptional customer service. Nestled in the heart of Churton Park, Wellington, this gem truly encapsulates the charm of New Zealand's café culture. There's an alluring warmth instantly felt upon entry, its convivial atmosphere bolstered by the effervescent staff, always attentive and ready with a smile. The café's heartening layout fosters connection, making it perfect not only for solo coffee aficionados but families and friends seeking a comfortable spot for a gathering. But Cafe Tyme's true magic lies in its culinary prowess. The menu is a thoughtful and creative fusion of local ingredients and international flavours. The coffee, sourced from local roasters, is consistently rich and aromatic, a testament to the skill of their adept baristas. And let's not forget their acclaimed bakery corner. From the delectable pastries to the sublime cakes, every treat is fresh, homemade, and mouth-wateringly delicious. If you're after a must-try, let me personally vouch for their beetroot cake – a delightful surprise for the palate. In summary, Cafe Tyme is more than just a café. It's a vibrant community hub, where quality food, exceptional coffee, and friendly faces combine to create a truly enchanting experience. Five out of five stars and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended!

Had my first visit here recently, I'd heard the cafe and the food were great. The service is great, friendly and fast. The cafe was busy, not packed but bustling, people getting food promptly and the tables then turning over. The coffee is great and the menu was pretty diverse too. I went for the seafood laksa which was fantastic, not overly spicy so if you like it hot hot, you'd best ask. My mum had the kumara salad with chicken. Both of us loved it. Thanks guys we'll be back again soon!

I’ll start with the food in my review. Their food is delicious. I’m not being biased, the food is delicious. It is never cold when it comes out, it is the perfect temperature. The plating is well done, and never messy. I mean you can’t see that from the fries, but you’ll have to take my word for it. Moving into service, top tier service from the cafe. The staff are very friendly, I am a cafe regular, and the staff have memorised my usual. There is a good customer relationship with the staff, if you go regularly, as they will remember your order. The food comes out promptly, and you don’t have to wait in hunger, even on their ultra busy times. Drinks come out so quick, and are always delicious. The atmosphere is lovely, and is actually a renovated cottage that was once in Glendside. It is slightly cramped, but personally I find it to be cozy. They have a warm heater in the main dining area.

My partner and I come here a lot as it’s always a great place for breakfast and lunch, plus there is outdoor seating when the sun is shining. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. My partner ordered the bacon and eggs (well done scrambled) and side of hash-browns with a large flat white. I ordered the beef burger with no cheese and a large flat white. The food arrived on a good time and looked delicious. Food was cooked to our liking with our special request catered for. We will be back again!
