Carabean Cafe is a cafe in Owhiro Bay, a small coastal suburb on Wellington's south coast, and it holds a 5.0 Google rating. Wellington takes its coffee seriously, and a cafe in one of the city's smaller suburbs has to earn its regulars the same way the inner-city ones do: a properly pulled flat white, fresh cabinet food and a warm seat out of the southerly. In seaside pockets like Owhiro Bay, the trade leans on walkers, dog owners and cyclists passing through, so it is worth checking opening hours before making a special trip, as small suburban cafes often keep limited or seasonal hours. Locals tend to judge a cafe within a visit or two — coffee at the right temperature, food worth the price — and word travels fast in a suburb this size. With a perfect Google rating, Carabean Cafe has clearly found favour with its Owhiro Bay neighbours.
