Coffee Near Wellington Landmarks
Find specialty coffee within walking distance of the spots you're visiting in Wellington.
Wellington calls itself the coffee capital of New Zealand, and the claim rests on its roasters: Havana Coffee Works has roasted on Tory Street since 1989, Caffe L'affare for three decades on College Street, and Coffee Supreme and Flight Coffee both keep their roasteries within a few blocks of Cuba Street. The city is compact and hilly, and most of it is walkable from the waterfront.
