Welly has lots of great coffee places, but be aware, quality may vary.

Three choices so far..

The Balti House
Great India
Roti Chenai

Book Haven - 154 Riddifod Street, Newtown

There's a host of small, intimate and lovely 2nd hand bookshops in Wellington. Within a mile of the Civic Centre there are close to 20 new and second hand book shops.

My favourites: Book Haven in Newtown, near the hospital. Cosy, friendly. Arty Bees because they have so much choice. And for a trip OUT of town, try Archway books in Pukerua Bay (reachable on the train too!)

Lyall Bay

Brilliant atmosphere; excellent food, coffee and drinks. Best breakfast in Wellington.

32, the terrace

great coffee, great staff and nice classical music :)
quite high govt, suit and blackberry factor though, still a nice place!
