West Two Espresso — Restaurant in North Island

I’ve been here 3 times and sadly 2 of those times was a slight let down for me.

I was overcharged for a takeaway strawberry mocha, which including the $0.5 for takeaway should have been $7.5, but I was charged $8. Sadly I didn’t realise until I sent my friend the menu photo 2 hours later. Not a big deal but still not ideal.

The second time I was there for a takeaway flat white. I told the young man multiple times that I wanted a small, but he kept saying medium and seemed to have trouble understanding the rest of my order too.

We ordered two cappuccinos and toasties, and the experience was delightfully bespoke from the water we were offered as we sat down to the jaffas that arrived alongside our coffee and tomato relish that came with our toasties. The coffee is definitely top-notch - it's not bitter and you don't need sugar to enjoy it, even with a sweet tooth like mine. West Two does justice to Wellington's reputation for coffee - we'll definitely be back...
