mac n cheese pie!!!!

the pie was fantastic! they had a huge selection of vegan sweets and 3 pie options. I loved the Mac and cheese pie, kinda smoky with bacon throughout. I had the biscoff crookie too but it wasn’t super flavourful. all in all I would recommend for the huge array of vegan choices.

Outstanding vegan bakery

We tried a savory muffin and a tiramisu donut and a long black coffee and everything was outstanding. Staff is very friendly. Everything was great and the vibe set it off. 5 stars make sure you visit this place

Very tasty vegan bakery!

Stopped and grabbed a couple sweets on my way out of Wellington. They were delicious - wish I could have tried some of their other sweet (and savory) offerings!

Delicious food that’s a win with everyone

I love Belén and have been going to them consistently right from their first store. Delicious doughnuts, sandwiches, coffees and other sweet/savoury treats. I’m always spoilt for choice coming here - so many delicious options to choose from! A great spot for takeaway morning tea/lunch in particular. Loved by vegans and non-vegans - a winner all round. Also has good gluten free options.

Incredible

We tried so many different things here and everything was so delicious. They have lots of really good gluten-free options, too.

Come early if you want something specific! They were sold out of quite a few things when we got there (around 1pm).

Pros: So many options, Lots of gluten-free things, Delicious

That donut!

Heard good things about this place and after eating the pistachio donut I can see why. Delicious. The Buffalo chicken Bun was OK but a bit disappointing comparatively.

Really friendly staff, good service. Worth a visit.

Pros: Delicious savory food , Nice selection even with a fair amount sold out , Friendly and fast service

Great vegan bakery

Lovely variations of savory croissants or sweet versions. We had sausage croissant, vegan cheese and ham croissant and an outstanding almond croissant which is generously filled with really good marzipan. Good stuff!

Pros: Variety of offered items , Fully vegan

Epic vegan bakery

If you're touring bakeries of the world, Belén should absolutely be one of your stops. They have great coffee and both sweet and savoury options are always great. There is often a queue out the door. I was very excited to see they have recently opened a second location so you don't have to go without no matter where in the city you are!

Pros: Everything

Great variety, tasty donuts

Really sweet bakery with a large variety of savory and sweet items. Had donuts which tasted really good. I got there at around 1pm and they had already sold out some items, so be quick!

Best bakery ever

Amazing range of tasty items from doughnuts to croissants to pies. I had the kimchi cheddar pinwheel and it was perhaps the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten. Decently priced and completely vegan:D do not miss this spot!

Amazing. Delicious. Awesome.

F*cking delicious stuff. Tried two filled donuts, both of which lit up my mouth with a dance of wonderful flavors, enunciated by an alteration of soft and crispy dough.

The savory was also good, but I have a sweet tooth and the donuts were just sublime. Come on an empty stomach so that you have enough room for these delights.

Found on last day and did not disappoint

Really wish I had found this spot sooner! Great assortment of options and convenient enough location.

We grabbed a pistachio donut, a cheese and mince pie, and a sausage roll. All were great, but if you’re ordering on the savory side keep in mind that the portion sizes can be deceiving (in a good way). Very filling.

Props to whatever they use for puff pastry.

Pros: Wide selection , Convenient enough

AMAZING!!

You really can’t get any better than this in Welly! Incredible food and coffee.
My partner who is not vegan loves it as well!
My only complaint is how small the place is, so can be hard to get a table if busy

Best Cafe ever

I cannot thank the Belén Bakery enough. They catered our vegan wedding and the owner personally drove out to Hataitai to deliver the cake on time. The food was absolutely delicious and we gladly ate leftovers for the next days as it all kept very well. Will recommend this place to everyone visiting Wellington 🥰

delicious food, fantastic staff, and p good coffee even on a wellington scale. even omnis love it

note it’s all cabinet food. heaps of options so there’ll be something for you but it’s a bakery not a cafe

Pros: new menu every month, good options for breakfast, lunch, and dessert, wonderful staff and friendly customers
