Margies Tea Coffee House

We came for the cheap prices but would return for the food and coffee! Wasn't expecting much but our Eggs Benedict's were very decent homely fare and the coffee was excellent! It's signage is hidden behind scaffolding at the moment so be sure to look for it even if you can't see the sign! They deserve the business :

Well gosh! What a treat! I am a bit old fashioned at heart, and while I am quite fond of international foods, and will often pick sushi over a pie (for my waists sake! Margie's Cafe took my breath, and hunger pangs, away! At a glance, the food on offer in the ample cabinets is very much kiwi cafe fare, which in itself is not a common thing this close to the city centre, but the atmosphere reminds me of a classic tea rooms visit in a small rural town. Very cosy with good, honest food. I was drawn in (as I often am by the potato top pie. There was the full range on offer (Steak with it's cheese, mushroom and onion variants, mince, chicken...all of the classics as well as pork kebabs, spring rolls and sausages. The sandwiches on offer were large fresh looking and everything was reasonably priced. I spent $15, had a good lunch and a club sandwich saved for afternoon tea. The pie was delishous, the potato light and fluffy with a scattering of melted cheese in top. A nice buttery pastry and tasty mince filling. The pork skewer was fresh, tasty and had a nice texture. The club sandwich was a real treat, I recommend this, as it had large chunks of avocado, which raised this to the next level! If you are in the city and can't make up your mind, call in here. It will make you happy.

This takes you back. Old fashioned kiwi style cafe, delightful food, you slide you tray along as you pick your choices from the cabinets. Brilliant. My club sandwich was great, and my sausage roll was perfect.

I recently visited Wellington with two friends and discovered a charming cafe. The food was fresh and delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. I ordered a chicken wrap for $6.50, which was filled with fresh ingredients. My friends enjoyed their sandwiches, with one even commenting on the thick and tasty egg inside. Be sure to check out the hot food cabinet around the corner, as it is filled with tempting items. Overall, the experience was superb.

Cute hidden away in the middle of the city. Food exceeds expectations.
