Smith the Grocer Cafe

Welcome to Smith the Grocer Cafe, located at 233-237 Lambton Quay in Wellington, New Zealand. As a cafe, establishment, food point of interest, and store, we are dedicated to providing our customers with good, old fashioned values and fresh, full of flavor food.

From the moment you step inside, our goal is to make you feel loved and cared for. Whether you're stopping by for a morning coffee and scone or indulging in our tempting breakfast and lunch options, every dish is prepared with love. We believe in being generous with our food and flavors, ensuring that every bite leaves you satisfied.

At Smith the Grocer, we want to bring back the values of connecting and caring for each other. We encourage our customers to relax, reflect, and catch up with friends and colleagues. Our charming and unique cafe is a place where you can laugh, eat, and enjoy, leaving with a smile on your face.

Nestled in the historic Old Bank Arcade off Lambton Quay, our cafe is proud to be part of the coolest little capital. We strive to be the cafe that our capital deserves, offering a way of life rather than just a place to grab a bite to eat.

Our passion for beautiful food shines through in everything we create. Alongside our breakfast and lunch menu, our large cabinet is bursting with sweet and savory treats to suit every taste bud challenge. From freshly prepared salads and toasted wraps to sweet slices and cakes, there's something for everyone. We even provide dietary options such as gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free plates.

Supporting local New Zealand enterprise is important to us, which is why we strive to work with as many Kiwi products as possible. From Whittaker's silky chocolate to Zany Zeus' irresistible halloumi, our menus are filled with local goodies.
