We had breakfast at Gotham – a good range of menu and cabinet items, newspapers and magazines. The friendly service was a particular highlight. The only low-point was the expensive coffee – $4 for a long black, when places like Prefab have set the benchmark for Wellington at $2.50, was very steep. Will return for the food and the service,...

We recently purchased one of the online deals for Gotham where we received a 2-course meal for 2. We decided to go on a Friday when they have 2 for 1 drinks, but was told that the drinks special doesn't apply to our voucher. This doesn't make sense, we could have just had drinks before hand and then have dinner.... More

I go here quite often. It is great to take anyone to, whether it's for coffee, cake, lunch, brunch or a beer. The food is always really nice. It is well presented and you get good value for money. The staff are friendly too.

I suppose it is Gotham but this is taking it a bit far, average coffee and dry cake inside was dark & gloomy, lots of far better places around town.

We were here on a weekday morning and it was not too crowded. The lattes were great and the made to order breakfast was good and fast. Nice alternative to grabbing something from a bakery case. We also chatted with our waitress for quite some time (she was Canadian and thought we might be too) - I can't say we... More

This cafe looks very nice, but the initial "welcome" we got from the person behind the counter when we went in for brunch almost sent us straight out again. She was obviously having a bad day , but shouldn't take it out on her customers - she was surly and decidedly frosty when taking our order. We decided against brunch... More

An awesome location down Chews lane, with awesome raised booths inside. I ordered eggs benedict and was surprised with the huge meal I received - it was delicious. The coffee is great here too. I would prefer a stop off here on a bad Wellington day as it doesn't get a lot of natural light on a fine day.

Nice cafe but very cramped almost claustrophobic when busy and not so pleasant. Coffee and Chili Hot Chocolates are great. Counter food is average, cooked items from menu I find are hit and miss more miss than hit. The service is pretty good though. I did find the meatloaf very nice, everything else I've tried on the e menu the... More

Delicious food and the 2 raised booths, with their own little flights of stairs, are so cool! The breakfasts were amazing, we tried BLT, croque madam, eggs Benedict & french toast. We all loved them, but there was something special about the croque madam. Yum! We went back again cos it was so good. It opens at 9am weekends, which... More
