pickle & pie

cute and cosy cafe in the city. as the name suggests - the are known for their pies and pickles. absolutely did not disappoint! however, i note that there were only two pie options when i was there - creamy mushroom (i chose this) and a chicken and chorizo pie. pastry and filling could not be faulted, nor could the pickle! there are also other cabinet foods and items you can order off the menu.

tucked away in a little secluded zone of central wellington is pickle & pie. if you are after a meal that is comforting and familiar but is elevated with some quality ingredients then this is the place.

the staff are all very friendly and the service was good enough. overall nothing to write home about but definitely nothing to complain about.

the space is light and bright, although i will mention that it does feel rather cramped - maybe a few too many table and chairs in this one. it is a modern space also with some lovely outdoor seating!

the food here is the real winner and why you would pay the visit. the specialty here definitely appears to be pies. but i must say give a sandwich a try! unfortunately this time round none of us tried the pies, but they do look excellent (maybe a little overpriced). the sandwiches however, are simply delicious. i got the reuben where the meat was sliced right in front of us! it was fresh and simply delicious accompanied with their in house pickles (which you can buy yourself on their vast wall of pickles!). someone also got the po-boy which was also delicious and worth the try. the menu is hard to choose from due to the range of delicious soundings things - that just means we will be back!

overall great little place with awesome food!

avoid. aggressive and arrogant waiting staff. if you don’t follow the ‘rules’ you will be told off in public. no wonder the place is half empty.

pickle and pie! oh my! super super scrumptious! i got one of their signature pies (the mushroom and parmasean one) and my oh my it was mouthwateringly good, the outside was beautifully flaky and the inside was a cream delicious heaven! my boyfriend got the salmon ladkes which he loved and devoured in seconds!

exceptional service ✔chic space ✔ yummy, creative dishes ✔ what's not to love?! so impressed with this lovely cafe tucked away off the main road. staff were so accommodating, and eager to please.

it’s always a good time at pickle and pie. great coffee and good cabinet selection which is what i usually go for. of course the pies with mash is so so so satisfying.

been here a couple of times just for a coffee. on two occasions they forgot our coffee order which was annoying but the staff apologised for the error and offered us something from the cabinet as a gesture. haven’t really tried the food here but it all looks yummy

pickle and pie have inconsistencies with their food and quality of service. my recent visit, i got the pie of the day which had very bland flavours without the gravy. due to being busy the staff also forgot our cutlery and didn't come get our order till 15 minutes in. will want to visit again for hopefully better food and service.

always take the time to stop by on the way to work for a great coffee and poached eggs with a bit of zing (pickle of course)

as the add says “start the day the right way”

staff are great too very friendly and professional

work team came here for the woap burger, was super busy and they don’t take bookings which meant we had to sit outside in the cold. being vegetarian i opted for one of the salads instead of the burger. two salad options, both kind of boring. got the vegan option which was $11 for basically lots of chickpeas and tomato with a few lettuce leaves in the mix. i added their smoked salt on at the table, which did taste quite nice and perked the salad taste up a bit. i wouldn’t go back but the rest of my team enjoyed their burgers, so possibly is good food, just not for vegetarians and value for money.

excellent! my favourite place in wellington. we had: great pies with mash; to die for eggplant deli sandwiches; and kids had the fancy hotdogs and poutine with sauces on the side. the pickles and sauces really brought it home for me as i’m a saucy kind of chick.
excellent service too: nothing was a problem for the staff.
the coffee is not that great but that doesn’t affect my score for them as they have other drink choices.
sorry no photos as we devoured the food without hesitating.
