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 - Edit
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.

That donut! - Edit
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.

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!

Epic vegan bakery - Edit
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!

Best bakery ever - Edit
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. - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
Really wish I had found this spot sooner! Great assortment of options and convenient enough location.
Read moreWe 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

You really can’t get any better than this in Welly! Incredible food and coffee.
Read moreMy 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 - Edit
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 🥰

The absolute best! - Edit
Belen is the best lunch in town. Also the best donuts. My favourites are the mince and cheese pie, mac and cheese pie, sandwiches which change every month, and donuts which also change every month. Everything is delicious, amazing, super high quality, and always a good experience.
Read moreIt’s best to get the food to take away and eat in Midland Park out outside parliament if the weather is good.

Yum! - Edit
Cute wee vegan bakery! Being gluten free on top of vegan can be tricky but this place has a few good options and they were all delicious! My husband who isn’t vegan got a donut and said it tasted better than non vegan doughnuts which is a win! Very friendly staff so that’s a bonus
