Midnight Espresso

We stopped into this punk cafe after a movie and were delighted that it was still open and had gluten free options. Seems like a great place to just hang out and enjoy the vibes of the city!

Great gluten free options. Had two toasties, and they were the best gluten free sandwiches we’d had in a long time. Great vibe, great food.

What a wonderful café! I wish I had one in my hometown; although our hometown is full of excellent cafés, this one is exceptional. What makes it so special? Well, a lot of the meals can be made vegan, and a lot of the meals can be made gluten-free. As I continue on my journey and develop gluten sensitivity that comes and goes, it’s really helpful to have options. They use organic dairy products and free range meat. All that’s lovely, but just look at these pastries! An addition to all of the items that you can have made-to-order, they have an exceptionally large selection of savory pastries, ready to eat, such as pumpkin blue cheese Filo and mushroom miso pie. They had Mexican pies and samosas. Perfect for a quick grab, and they will heat them there if you need them to. Plus, the prepared sweet pastries looked exceptional as well. If you view the photo of my husband standing next to the pastries, you will see that look of joy and excitement on his face. What a selection! Did I mention this place stays open very late? And that it was centrally located and only steps from our hotel? If we had more days in Wellington, we would be here every day!
