Great cafe for thise midnight cravings

best vege breakfast!

Vegan Nachos, and an array of delish baked goods, smoothies, and coffee always on point, Midnight espresso leaves little to complain about. The decor is quirky, with pinball machines and posters everywhere, it feels like stepping back into 90s bohemian Wellington.

I really like that there are always amazing vegetarian and vegan options at this establishment - and not just on the menu to order; but also on the counter which is really convenient. I love that it's open late, and I think they have the best milkshakes I've ever had.

Midnight is one of Wellington's longest standing, and ever quirky cafes. The vegetarian (sometimes vegan) pie on offer never fails to satisfy. Though the flavours rotate, you can always expect something delicious and flaky, served with almost any condiment you care to ask the staff (nicely) for.

One of Wellington’s oldest institutions, the late night feeds and delicious cabinet food are something worth getting. With a large array of vegetarian foods and some great treats as well, you will find something to satiate your appetite. Open til 3am every night, its one for both day walkers and night owls and is always stocked full of great things!

If you're a meat lover but have friends who are GF, vegetarian or vegan this is the ultimate spot. They can choose from an array of options while you can have your bacon pasta special. Who knows you may even find yourself wanting to try the delicious vegetarian nachos. Plus Carlos makes a killer latte.

It can be a hard road for pie-loving vegetarians, but Midnight Espresso, the iconic Wellington cafe, usually has one on offer in its cabinet. It’s usually a generous portion, heavy on the pumpkin, with a side of relish; sometimes it’s even vegan (!). Midnight Espresso serves Havana coffee, and I highly recommend their carrot cake if you’re in the mood for a sweet treat after.

A special old fave of mine! I used to go to Midnight Espresso when I was a teenager and now I'm 40..fave memory: realizing I was sitting at a table next to Karl Kippenburger from Shihad. The place is pretty legendary for amazing funky food and quirky staff 😊

Yum. The go to place on Cuba Street - especially late at night and you need a fix!
