Prefab is a well oiled machine, a very good looking machine that roasts its own coffee, bakes its own bread and provides cheap and delicious lunches for a hungry lunch crowd or weekend bruncher.

The staff are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. This is the place for simple, no pretentious food, done really well.

Great for brunch on a Saturday.

Great coffee, food and atmosphere. Always buzzing.

Fantastic food and service!! 💗

Great coffee and lovely tasty food. its a Wellington institution already.

Great coffee and awesome food

need to understand the hype, and my god the pizzas look good

The coolest urban cafe you can find in Wellington. They make their own bread and patisserie, they roast their own coffee, they make the best pizza and they have the coolest airplane propeller-ventilator on the ceiling!

Open, airy and packed to its wooden rafters. Great coffee and while it’s busy, you should be able to get a seat.

There’s a reason this place is packed on weekends - a delicious and fancy menu including eggs, sandwiches, pizza and burgers, and many more tasty options. I like to pop in for a date scone with cream and jam. Be sure to try the bottomless coffee or grab a loaf of ACME bread, baked in store! The staff are also very friendly and attentive.

We’d heard great things about this place so we were happy to be able to go during a sport-free Saturday. We weren’t disappointed. The place was a hive of activity with families, friends and couples, old and young. We were quickly seated at one of the communal benches and placed our coffee order while we perused the food menu. Before long the waitress brought over our meals. The Mr got the Huevos Rancheros Pizza - verdict? Breakfast pizza= genius! The gentleman accross the table smiled at us and told his partner he wanted that the next time. I had their soup of the day with freshly baked bread. That bread! So good! They bake batches every few hours so your bread is always warm and amazing! I wish it was open on Sundays too but Prefab is pretty fabulous!
