Starbucks Lambton Quay

I mean it’s Starbucks, right? Tourists will come here because of the familiarity while local Kiwis will go elsewhere because this coffee is mid at best. My kids like it for the (caffeine-free) frappucinos and I like collecting the mugs. Good for a snack, too, but all the seating is outside. So your mileage may vary depending on the weather. Amazingly, it’s the *only one* in Wellington city aside the airport location as far as I can tell. So if you have a craving, this is where it’s at.

Good coffee, good service and good atmosphere. Great location. I ordered through mobile so I didn't see much of the store as it was very busy but it looked nice and was well kept. There's an upstairs lounge too. It's my favourite time of year because they have the gingerbread frappe. Highly recommend it for coffee lovers or those who aren't so sure about coffee but want a little taste with something sweet.

Strategically located in the Old Bank arcade, we keep stopping by here for frappe, munchies, or souvenirs. My kids love their hit chocolate and danish pastries. I do enjoy their frappucino and like to try their specials on various season. Pies, brownies, and other munchies are mostly available as well. Other things I’d like to buy here is their souvenirs. Mugs and tumblers, with the cities series, are the ones that I collect and buy for souvenirs. Service is fast, staff are friendly. You have enough space in the terrace if you like to eat or drink here. It’s on one floor so it’s comfortable for those with wheelchairs.

Starbucks Lambton Quay is alongside some huge competition in the Wellington region. Similar to other Starbucks most of their coffee is much weaker to its competitors. You should not have to pay extra for a strong coffee in this price range. The staff here are always friendly and helpful which adds great value to the brand

Standard Starbucks store, efficient and fast staff. It was a busy Sunday, but service was impeccable and nice. The best area is the upper part, with comfy seats and many tables. Coffee was tasty and well prepared. Inside was clean and tidy, as it is expected. Located in downtown, easy to access for everyone and from everywhere.
