Cafe Koffee Station sits quietly on Grey Street in Wellington Central, offering a snug refuge for those on the move or anyone looking to settle in with a good coffee. The compact space manages to feel inviting rather than cramped, with a warm, clean interior where friendly staff quickly make you feel at home. It’s the kind of spot where the hum of early morning conversations blends effortlessly with the scent of fresh espresso.

This cafe is best known for its thoughtfully made coffee, with locals often coming in for a well-pulled long black or an expertly crafted latte. Those seeking something cooler in the warmer months might try the flavored iced lattes, like maple or butterscotch, which add a subtle twist without overpowering the coffee’s character. If you’re after a quick bite, the cheese scone and lemon cake provide satisfying, uncomplicated choices to pair with your drink.

Mornings and early afternoons tend to be the busiest, particularly right after opening when a queue for takeaway builds up — a good indicator of the quality and popularity among Wellingtonians on their daily routines. While it’s small, the cozy setting encourages lingering, whether you’re catching up on work or enjoying a relaxed breakfast. The clientele is a mix of local office workers, creatives, and visitors exploring the city’s café scene.

Overall, Cafe Koffee Station suits anyone looking for a genuine neighbourhood coffee experience without the fuss. It’s a place to pause and enjoy solid coffee craftsmanship, simple fresh food, and a down-to-earth atmosphere that reflects Wellington’s laid-back yet quality-conscious café culture.

We arrived just after they opened and there was a queue. Luckily most was for takeaway coffee. That's always a good sign. We stayed for breakfast and I had the Hash Stack and it was really good. We did plan to return for breakfast on the Sunday it was so good. Coffee is All press and also well made.

Flavored iced lattes were very good (had maple & butterscotch). Do NOT recommend homemade melting moments - too dry and the filling was just pure sugar. Service was good though, cashier was very engaging and described items well when asked.

It’s small but incredibly cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The place is spotless, and the staff are genuinely friendly (super welcoming). I tried their hot chocolate, and honestly, it was ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD—rich, creamy, and simply delicious. Every sip was pure indulgence! So, whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to relax or a place to catch up with friends, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Best big breakfast we have had in NZ. Everything was tasty and seasoned well. Coffee was tops too. Great prices for a big feed.
