AuBain is a café in a Victorian house on Wellington’s main road, set back from the street with a garden and front porch. You can sit outside under the trees, inside in one of the rooms, or on the porch to watch the road. The menu covers breakfast and lunch — eggs, wraps, pizza — with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and Wellington wines from nearby estates.

The house is part of a group of buildings that includes Green Fingers Nursery and De Vrede Antieke, so you can browse plants or antiques after your meal. The café is wheelchair accessible, with attentive staff and a relaxed feel.

AuBain is a place for locals and visitors alike, set in a quiet part of Wellington that feels like a break from the main road.
