Situated beside the Begonia House inside Wellington Botanic Garden at 101 Glenmore Street, Picnic Cafe offers one of the city's most unusual cafe settings: surrounded by formal gardens with 80 outdoor seats and 70 indoors, open 8:30am to 4pm every day except Christmas. The coffee quality consistently draws praise that matches the setting, and the kitchen delivers Kiwi classics with a modern touch. Few Wellington cafes can match the combination of natural beauty and genuine hospitality on offer here.
