The lab CAFES WELLINGTON
food and beverage co.
est. 2015
Independent. Contemporary. Local.
With four locations across the city, our kitchens serve up
breakfast and lunch, in-house baked goods, and our own cold-press juices.
The Lab University
Our original location, in the beating heart of Victoria University of Wellington’s Kelburn Campus. Since 2015, The LAB Uni has been providing VUW students and staff with fast and fresh lunch options, smoothies, cold-press juices and speciality coffee. All at an affordable price.
The Lab XXCQ
Our exceedingly popular, corporate-hub cafe, on the ground floor of the Deloitte Building, on Customhouse Quay. With a humming kitchen, and ample space for small and big groups alike, The LAB XXCQ provides exceptional food and drink to accompany Monday-Friday work.
The lAB press hall
Our second location, opened in early 2018 and found at Press Hall- the new, ‘upmarket food-court’, just off Willis Street. With a greater focus on contemporary, made-to-order breakfast and lunch for the busy CBD crowd, The LAB Press Hall was our venture in the central city.
The Lab Victoria St.
Our latest project! Opened just after the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, our Victoria St. flagship store is our first classic Wellington cafe. Unattached to any institution, at The LAB Vic St. you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere, a full Brunch menu, and wide windows to watch city life go by.
