Customs Brew Bar, Wellington

Coffee is finding the right customs.

If you find yourself strolling along Ghuznee Street in Wellington, you’d likely catch a whiff of freshly brewed coffee. This can be enticing but more often than not, the promise isn’t matched by the product or the experience. Not so if you step into Customs Brew Bar, one of the best cafés in town.

Opened in 2010, Customs Brew Bar is the flagship store of Kiwi roaster Coffee Supreme. (We’ve already sampled their impeccable cuppas at their Auckland cafés, Good One and Supreme Seafarers.)

The ambience of the café is not unlike that of a retro airport lounge, all oily wood and olive-green mosaic. The shelves are filled with eclectic bric-à-brac; the space is warm and welcoming.

Enjoy Coffee Supreme’s full range of coffees here, and ask for it to be brewed however you like — V60, Chemex, SwissGold and, of course, espresso. The latter are pulled as shots on a Slayer Espresso machine. Every cup will delight you; it did us.

當你在威靈頓的Ghuznee大街上，走得累了，想找個地方來杯咖啡歇歇腳，
那不妨到這家Customs Brew Bar享受一杯道地的紐西蘭咖啡，小歇一會兒。
Customs Brew Bar是紐西蘭一家烘豆坊Coffee Supreme在威靈頓的旗艦店。
早些時候當我們在奧克蘭遊玩時，
就已經拜訪過Coffee Supreme旗下的其他咖啡館，
對於他們家的咖啡還挺喜歡的，這次路經這裡當然不會錯過這家旗艦店。

這裡的裝潢簡單，無論色調還是感覺都有別于到訪過的兩家姐妹店，
不變的是，氛圍依然輕鬆自在，還有咖啡也依然好喝。
作為旗艦店，這裡除了各式咖啡和輕食外，
還販售各種咖啡館豆，想買豆子的朋友總能找到一種適合自己的豆子。
