Ohtel Pantry is a cafe in the Ohtel boutique hotel at 66 Oriental Parade, Oriental Bay, Wellington, rated 4.6 on Google. Wellington takes its coffee seriously, and a cafe on this stretch of waterfront is judged accordingly: a properly poured flat white, beans from one of the city's small roasters, and quick service for the swimmers and dog walkers passing through before work. Waterfront cafes live by their regulars, so it is worth noticing where the early-morning dip crowd ends up. On a fine weekend the parade fills fast, so arriving early or settling in after the lunch rush is the relaxed way to find a seat. Ohtel Pantry sits right in that rhythm, a few steps from the sand and the inner-harbour promenade.
