Four of us went today at 3pm on Queens birthday holiday. It was really busy and the staff were so great. Coffee and cake were just right.

This cafe is a mainstay in Wellington, and was recommended to us by family who live there. It is located right on the the beach in Lyall Bay, a little ways from the airport. Attached to the Maranui Surf Lifesaving Club, It has a low key 1950s beachy diner vibe with memorabilia and photos that date back over a century.... More

you end up going back day after day just to work your way through the menu. Perfect place for breakfast or lunch. Best get there early or late and avoid the queue. Probably the best $5 shakes in the world, actually don’t remember their price… ;-) Great view of Lyle Bay

This is our go-to breakfast venue in the weekend. We live in the northern suburbs but if we want a decent breakfast out, we set the alarm and get up early to drive all the way to the other side of town. We do this because (a) no wait at 8am, (b) carparking is easy (c) consistent food and coffee... More

When ever I go home, Maranui is always my number 1 go to cafe. partly because its so close to the airport but mainly because it seems to ooze wellington. I love the decor, the music, the ambience, the view, the colours, the fact that the staff all get to wear what they like and sit and have a chat... More

Love this place - vintage kiwiana decor, stylie staff, great coffee, good food and the best view. Great place to go with kids - watching the planes land and take off over the water at Wellington airport kept my busy 2 year old occupied for ages while I kicked back with a coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely fabulous ! - The Maranui Surf Club is the full package... Amazing location on Lyall Bay surf beach, funky interior, superb friendly 'service with a smile ' and most importantly delicious beautifully presented food. Also has free WIFI. All day Tuesdays The Maranui serves a huge scrumptious 'tradesman's breakfast' and a hot or drink of your choice all for... More

This is such a lovely cafe/restaurant on the outskirts of central Wellington near Lyall Bay. We didn't have to wait long a table and were seated with a great view of the bay. There's a kooky cool feel to the diner with plenty of life guard and water sport memorabilia to decorate the area. The food was delicious as was... More

My friend took me to get a takeaway coffee at this lovely little cafe as we had a bit of a drive after she collected me from Wellington airport. It has a great vibe and the coffee was very good. The staff member working the till ( a tall skinny dude) was so rude to me (when I paid for... More
