Old George Coffee (The Terrace) - Wellington Central
About Old George Coffee (The Terrace)
The 'Old George Coffee' brand is a tribute to my mentor.
Arguablythe best coffee man in the southern hemisphere, coffee consultant
George Kepper.
George was in his 70's when in early 1987,
after taking over the Woodward St Belaroma shop, I first spent time with him in the SydneyRoseville Belaroma Coffee Roasting shop.
On that occasion we spent several hours going over the finer details of coffee roasting on the 12 kg. Bath Menadino roaster, followed by a cupping session in a very small kitchen with much slurping and spitting as we tasted and commented onthe roasts we had done and some other coffee's from the Kenneth RoadBelaroma factory.
On several visits to Sydney over the next few years I took samplesof my New Zealand version of Belaroma Supreme and gratefully receivedhis comment,
'its perfect! You've done it!'
The joy that we felt as twocoffee fanatics tasting a great blend is hard to explain.
Sadly he passed away peacefully in his sleep one Sunday after doing the roasting
at the Roseville shop for Monday.
Rest in peace Georgeyour enthusiasm lives on in every cup of coffee!
Tony Gibbs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Low key the best coffee in Wellington. This place doesn't have a sign out front but makes seriously excellent coffee. Service is super fast, prices are $1 cheaper than almost everywhere else. The OG Old George, even better than its sister cafe around the corner on Bowen St. Don't miss this hidden Wellington gem!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My favourite coffee spot in all my travels and most likely the smallest. This family owned roasting business had been a delight to get to know over the years. No amenities to speak of except great coffee & now EFTPOS. Cheers my friends.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent coffee with fast and friendly service. The staff somehow remember everyone’s takeaway coffee orders with alarming accuracy. The queue moves quickly, meaning I can be back at my desk with my morning coffee fix before anyone realises I’m gone. Hang around while they’re roasting and enjoy the aroma.
