Rex Tremendous Café is a cafe in Newtown, Wellington, run by owners Cheryl, Kate and Tom, who also run the Banana Bar and a catering service. The website describes it as neighbouring Wellington Zoo, and its favourite is the super cheesy scone.
The menu lists creamy mushrooms, salted caramel filled donuts, a ham and pickle sando, scrambled eggs and quiche, alongside the scones. The cafe is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, and the Banana Bar runs Monday to Friday from 11am to 2pm. Our pick in Newtown for a cheesy scone and a coffee near the zoo.
