    // Ready-made plans

    Three Wellington days, already planned

    Fixed routes built from the ranked lists on this site — walkable, in order, and copyable.

    Four cups, one morning, all walkable: start in Te Aro where most of the roasteries sit, work north through Cuba Street, and finish in the CBD before the lunch rush.

    1. Start at a roastery while it is quiet — this is the espresso benchmark you will judge the rest of the morning against.

      Local tip: It is a coffee bar, not a brunch kitchen — the food is toast, sandwiches and pastries, so come for the cup.

    2. Second stop, different method: order filter or batch brew rather than another flat white so you can taste the difference.

      Local tip: One of the few Wellington cafes that opens on public holidays — worth knowing on a long weekend.

    3. Now walk Cuba Street. This is the sit-down stop — food, people-watching, and the street the city's cafe culture grew out of.

      Local tip: Order the signature hash browns. Note it has left 234 Cuba Street — directions in older guides send you to the wrong address.

    4. Finish with something baked before lunch, then you are already in position for the waterfront or Te Papa.
