A gem of a used bookstore in Wellington! It's near all the shops, so you can easily duck in for a…read morebit (or a long while) while you're in town.

One of the biggest bookstores in Wellington city, this branch of Whitcoulls offers a large…read moreselection of books, magazines, stationary, DVDs and office supplies across three different floors. The spacious building is attractively situated in Lambton Quay, the heart of Wellington's shopping district. Books in NZ are generally pricey but you'll often find specials on offer here - although they tend to be popular cookery books, gardening manuals etc. Whether you're after wrapping paper, the latest bestseller or a newly released DVD, this is a pretty good starting point.

This store is pretty small compared to its posher cousin in Lambton Quay, and its selection is limited - so if you don't find what you're looking for here, take a stroll 15 minutes across town and chances are, they'll have what you're after.

I appreciate that they offer decaf as an option. Our baristas were kind and I love the grungy atmosphere/decor. We spent ~$12.

It really depends on the day, but if you get one of the good barista's then the coffee, music, and…read moregeneral atmosphere are great. But, roll the dice because on the wrong day you might catch a hungover angry alternative-culture-type that arrogantly assumes making coffee requires zero skill or practice. Over time you get a feel for the days when it isn't worth going there. A small average cabinet of food products, bliss ball, slices, etc... Nothing to write home about but also nothing to cause regret. You went for the coffee anyway, and if you hit a lucky barista day then you'll go back again. The cafe functions as a small gallery for artists, there is often something new to see on the walls. 3.75/5

Downstairs foodhall expensive but again some gourmet stuff and a nice vibe. Warehouse food area is fair to middling prices mixed occasionally a good deal. Wine store is the star of the show. Extensive nz selection from all regions prices good. 5 food trucks in the car park still free for an hour plus whilst u wander on the premises. Loo for customers out of order not a good look. Used to be a solid 5 star and must do when in Welly. Slipped to a 4 minus. Recommended though.

One odd thing in the menswear- lots of really big sizes but limited medium to small. Only real criticism is the check out. All self service and you get fed into a queue to wait. However if people waiting for a machine that takes cash the queue can get held up even when "card only" machines available. Also very few staff to help if issues arise.
