Hands down the best cafe in Welly! The most amazing service I have ever received. The team knows my order before I’ve even asked. They are so dog friendly which makes it so much better! Thank you to the team that makes mine and Bowie’s day (the collie) every morning before work! Love Em & B x

Awesome coffee and great food. But above it all… the staff are just so lovely. They have been incredibly kind and patient with my very anxious dog. They (and the cheese scones) have won her over and Mystic is now one of her favourite places. Thanks team!

What a treasure. Home cooked food served with verve. Not many tables but perfect for a drop-in to get great coffee and snacks. Big choice of baked goods. Wonderfully eccentric. Superb chef.

There is no shortage of cafes in this area, but Mystic Kitchen has become my firm favourite for many reasons. The staff there are super friendly and provide amazing service. The coffee is great. The scones are some of the best I’ve had. They provide comfortable booths instead of hard chairs - which provides a bit of privacy. They’re also dog friendly, and saying hi to some of their well behaved regulars is a definite plus.

Found this delightful cafe on our last trip to Wellington. Amazing selection of hot food & baked goods. We had a bacon frittata & bacon & egg muffin....both absolutely delicious. Grabbed a piece each of the cherry pie & apple pie..Devine! Also made the best hot chocolate I've had in a long time...chocolate, hot & marshmallows on the side...yummy
