Customs — Restaurant in North Island

On my first trip to New Zealand in July 2023, I asked someone at the Spark Store while getting my E-SIM for some good coffee recs (I'm from Melbourne, bit of a snob when it comes to coffee!) Among the list of favourites, Customs was the most highly recommended. Wasn't hard to understand why when I went the next morning for coffee and a pastry. Ever since, I've gone every time I've been in the city (multiple visits over 3 trips) on most days I've had a chance!

Will definitely be coming back with the hubs next time we're down here in Wellington. Definitely a new favorite! Highly...

Heard a lot of hype so I went to try it out & have been back a couple more times & have been left underwhelmed. Their doughnuts & toasts taste very average for the price you pay. It's also odd that they serve tea in a small cup when in the cafes around it you get a pot of tea for the same price. It's a a trendy place to hang out & staff are nice. I will say to try the doughnuts because it is a Wellington experience and there are never the same flavours 2 weeks in a row I just haven't been lucky enough to try one yet that I believe has...
