Newtown WINZ


This is where you come for your shopping vouchers before you hit the boutiques of Newtown! Sweet deal! There is a little coffee shop two doors down which serves reasonable coffee - pity the coffee makers are totally up themselves, but I have come to expect to be served by petulant ,dismissive , 'delicate geniuses' who work as barista's in Wellington.

ps - what IS the big deal with coffee in NZ? Hello, people, it's only coffee. Remember Larry David in Curb your Enthusiasm?

While ordering coffee at Starbucks.
Larry David: I'll have a vanilla... one of those vanilla bullshit things. You know, whatever you want, some vanilla bullshit latte cappa thing. Whatever you got.
Awhile later...
Larry: What's in this latte?
Starbucks employee: Milk and coffee.
Larry: Oh my god. Milk and coffee. I never would have thought of that. That's so brilliant.
