Midnight Espresso do a spectacular hot chocolate and the best fresh counter food in Welly with a huge range of vege/vegan/gluten free options using heaps of fresh veges. Impress a guest to Wellington or bring your friends for a late night coffee stop. Great variety on the menu and funky, friendly staff.

Beautiful coffee!

Trendy Cuba Mall location. The place just feels good!

Coffee made while you wait

Mocha in a glass while you line up. With optional marshies. And cream.

Perhaps the hippest little cafe on Cuba, serving inexpensive gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian treats until (very!) late. As you might expect, the Havana coffee served here is amongst the best in town. There is a mind-boggling amount of choice here, if you're anything like me you'll need a good five minutes to take it all in. All day brunch is a winner, the vegan hash brown stack being an absolute high point, whilst you really should believe the nacho hype. Hipster and student friendly.

When I first arrived in Wellington, my new friends raved about the vege nachos at Midnight. They weren't kidding! This plate is so loaded--hummus, chilli sauce, avo slices, and sometimes even green olives complement the more traditional beans, salsa, cheese, and jalapenos no respectable plate of nachos could go without--but it has a surprisingly decent corn chip-to-topping ratio, given the epic proportions of the latter. If you ever get past your craving for these nachos, Midnight actually has a ton of other great vege and vegan options (as well as tasty looking treats for the carnivores in your life), some killer juices and smoothies, and one of the best caramel slices in town. A bite of their gigantic chocolate cake (with yogurt) can also be pretty hard to pass up.

It's noisy, it's a little bit grungy but it's a great place to hang out watch the world go by over a delicious flat white.

Midnight Espresso is a highly visible and audible cafe on Cuba St. If you're walking past, you will certainly notice music spilling out, and patrons on tall stools sipping coffee and gazing at passers-by. It also caters generously to vegetarians and vegans. My favourite vegetarian nachos is found here, and also my favourite cheesecake!

$2.50 long black! Best vegan chocolate cake.
