wellington has a reputation to maintain. the city punches well above its weight in specialty coffee, and that means the bar for an independent roaster to actually stand out is genuinely high. prefab-acme on jessie street in te aro has managed it. the te aro neighbourhood has always drawn the kind of foot traffic that keeps a place honest, people who know what they're drinking and will notice if something slips. if you're plotting a route through wellington's coffee scene, this address tends to come up early in the conversation, not as an afterthought. the regulars here are the kind whose opinions you'd trust, and their consistency in coming back says something a generic café couldn't sustain. start with whatever's on filter that week.
