Faith and Co. Petone

About Faith and Co. Petone

Faith&Co. is a café on Jackson Street in Petone, Lower Hutt, positioned by its owners as one of the finest spots in the area. The space is designed to be contemporary and relaxed, giving customers room to enjoy a coffee at leisure or sit with friends over a full meal, with the café's stated vision being to help establish Jackson Street as one of Wellington's food hubs.

The all-day menu covers everything from eggs and granola through to burgers, fish, curries and salads, with a strong focus on generous, flavour-forward brunch and lunch dishes — think smashed avocado, halloumi on toast, a Thai beef salad, grilled salmon and slow-braised beef cheeks. A cabinet also offers cakes, sandwiches and pastries for those after something lighter or on the go.

Beyond the café menu, Faith&Co. sells its own Crumbled Granola bars, made with low-GI ingredients including cranberries, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, cashews, honey and almonds. The café also caters to large groups and functions, with bookings handled directly by Faith and her team.

Faith&Co.: Jackson Street's All-Day Café in Petone

Tucked into Jackson Street in Petone, Faith&Co. has set out to be one of the finer café experiences in the area, built around a contemporary, relaxed space and a menu that stretches well beyond a standard brunch spot.

The Space and the Vision

The café's own description puts the emphasis on space and comfort first: a beautiful, contemporary setting designed to give customers room to relax, whether that's a quiet coffee alone or a longer sit-down with friends. Faith&Co.'s stated goal is to combine that atmosphere with a level of cuisine and service that helps position Jackson Street as one of Wellington's food hubs — and the menu backs that ambition up with real range.

A Menu Built for Choice

Faith&Co. describes its à la carte menu as catering to lovers of rich, intense flavours right through to lighter, considered vegetarian dishes, and the food list reflects that spread. Breakfast and brunch options range from a Faith & Co Crumbled Granola with Greek yoghurt, through eggs done half a dozen ways, to heartier plates like the Faiths Fast – Break (bacon, eggs, sausage, mushroom and hash browns) or its vegetarian counterpart built around grilled halloumi and smashed avocado.

For something more substantial, the mains list includes a Grilled Salmon with potato gratin and caper sauce, a Fish Curry built on tarakihi with coconut milk and Thai curry paste, slow-braised Beef Cheeks, and a well-loved Angus Beef Burger with all the trimmings. Salads, fritters and roti wraps round out the lunch options, alongside a list of sides that lets customers build their own plate — from thick cut bacon and hash browns to gluten free bread.

Beyond the Café Menu

Faith&Co. also sells its own Crumbled Granola bars as a retail product, separate from the granola served in the café. Made with low-GI ingredients — cranberries for antioxidants, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, cashews, honey and almonds — the bars are pitched as an everyday superfood treat, something customers can take away and enjoy anytime.

Catering to Groups

Beyond individual dining, Faith&Co. caters to large groups and special functions, with enquiries handled directly by Faith and her team through the café's booking form. Customers can outline their group size, preferred date and any specific requirements, and the team will follow up to help plan the occasion.

Faith&Co. is closed on Mondays, opening from 7am Tuesday to Friday, 8am on Saturdays and 9am on Sundays. Daily specials are posted on the board in-café, gluten free options are available on request, and the team asks that dietary requirements be flagged to staff when ordering. For anyone exploring Jackson Street's food scene in Petone, Faith&Co. offers a menu with enough range to suit a quick coffee, a full breakfast, or a proper sit-down lunch.
