"The most friendliest cafe I have ever been to in New Zealand. You are guaranteed to be greeted by a friendly and cheerful host with an infectious smile and bubbly personality. The staff are especially great with children. Lots of crayons and colouring pads for the kiddies. They will feel like new age artists with the wonderful compliments they will receive on their artwork by the wondeful cafe staff. The coffee!! Omg its incredible! Well presented and absolutely delicious! Definitely the best I've had in Wellington. The food. When I first came to the cafe a couple of weeks ago i had the big blume breakfast. It was beautifully presented, extremely delicious and very fulfilling. I knew then that I'd found my new favourite cafe in Wellington. Im back here now enjoying the eggs benedict that I did not have to wait long for at all. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented on the plate. I cannot say one bad word about this place. I highly recommend that if you are someone who loves good food thats priced fairly, clean facilities, the best customer service you will ever experience and a fun and friendly atmosphere, then you need to get yourself to Cafe Blume in Upper Hutt. You will not regret it."
