Ok I have gone from never drinking coffee to being a V60 and Chemex loyalist. The service, atmosphere and vibe at this place rocks their passion for quality coffee with a twist cannot be matched. I look forward to my caffine hit. God bless Memphis Belle. Oh and their choc almond cookies rock.!!!!!!

The best coffee and service I’ve ever had, water delivered, and topped up… these guys are so full of knowledge, and hot too, no matter what I asked it was obvious they all know HEAPS about coffee.

I had a Syphon as it looked so unusual. I got 1 on 1 time with a “non pressurised” barista while he made it in front of me at my table while talking me through the process, how cool is that!?!?!

I’ve been invited back on Wednesday for cupping, which they explained is like wine tasting, but for coffee. I’m very exited!!!

For those cynics out there yes this is my very first review, I don’t usually write these things nor waste my time as I generally believe they serve very little purpose. HOWEVER… I was so impressed with Memphis Belle when I visited Wellington I felt compelled to write a review.

I thought I had seen it all from the plethora of cafes in the capital, however, I have to say this one tops the lot.

The guys behind the counter were so friendly, they greeted us from behind the coffee machine as we walked in the door. While enthralled in making coffees during what I saw to be a busy time, one of them took my order. I promptly found out they are using a Napier based coffee company Flight Coffee – go figure, I go to Wellington to find out Napier has gem of a coffee company.

The quality of the coffee is second to none, nothing like I’ve tried in Hawkes Bay and by far one of the best coffee’s I’ve ever had in Wellington and possibly my life.

The food was good considering there isn’t really a kitchen and the atmosphere was like walking back somewhere into the 50′s 60′s or 70′s, I couldn’t quite figure it out.

My wife and I will make this a regular visit when we’re in the capital.

Please, if you enjoy your coffee, you must visit Memphis Belle.

Memphis Belle is so flippin passionate and friendly I find it hard to leave. I go everyday!

All our staff do actually, they know it’s the best place for coffee and wicked baps. Yup, all of us go everyday, except one, but he doesn’t go anywhere else either. Just straight home to play World of Warcraft.

I told him he was missing out, but he assures me that they have similar places to Memphis online, virtually, and I just don’t know enough about the internet to argue really…

Still though you cant digitally enhance the love Memphis shows my tongue everyday.

Thank you fly boys

I was lucky enough to stumble across Memphis Belle a few weeks back. I make an effort to get a coffee from them every time I’m in Central Wellington. Great location, friendly staff and obviously great coffee and food! A+

From the first moment I stepped through the doorway into Memphis Belle Coffee House I felt like a changed person.

The smell of fair trade organic coffee washed over me. The decor tickled me in just the right way. The music held me in rapture.

The man behind the counter greeted me warmly. His skinny jeans slid over to the coffee machine, where he skillfully coaxed a silky cup.

He looked me in the eye and told me the coffee would make me fly.

And do you know what? For a moment there, I did.

Memphis Belle Coffee House. It will change you.

I love Memphis Belle, having traveled all of New Zealand its fair to say that Wellington is the home of coffee, and Memphis Belle is one of the few truly dedicated coffee houses. The food is delicious for a start, simple well thought out flavours neatly presented, and amasing array of baked goods for such a small selection there is always something for every palate. The coffee is amasing, they have their own roastery in Napier, and they are not afraid to experiment. Cupping every wednesday, where everyone is welcome. I have been coming to Memphis since day one and I have yet to have anything but a great experience. The two guys and their sidekick johnny are always there to greet you with a smile, if you live in one of the many undersized apartments in Wellington City you should make this your new living room
