Eva Street
Eva Street – the cutest and probably tastiest alleyway I’ve come across for some time…
One of the things I was most excited about returning to Wellington was the independent foodie scene. There are a lot of small establishments making a unique but big splash in this city. One street in particular seems to be where its at…
Eva Street contains the following awesome places:
- Wellington Chocolate Factory
- Fix and Fogg peanut butter makers
- Leeds Street Bakery
- Pizza Pomodoro
- Six Barrel Soda Co.
I’ve tried all but Leeds Street Bakery and have been wowed each time. While I ADORE the coffee and baked goods this city contains, it is also really cool to go somewhere that isn’t just coffee and Afghan biscuits. I like the random flavours the Wellington Chocolate Factory concocts and that you can smell it long before you see it. I love that Fix and Fogg has the most delicious peanut butter ever created (the chilli one is outstanding but their dark chocolate peanut butter, which is on my toast while I’m writing this, has won my heart) and that Six Barrel Soda is probably the most refreshing cafe in town. They all seem to work together too which is super nice, for example, Wellington Chocolate Factory made this chocolate bar with Fix & Fogg peanut butter and raspberries, so so so good!).

Six Barrel Soda seems to have every type of soda imaginable on its menu. Mr Man and I went for combinations based on their lemon/lime flavour, him going for a heavy hit of ginger and me getting more bitters included. We were very close to ordering more if not for our car being at the other end of town and running at the wrong end of the meter.
Just a tiny amount of the bottles they have stacked up and ready to go to local Wellingtonians
I forgot to photograph it out of sheer hunger one day but Pizza Pomodoro is run by this lovely Italian man and his pizzas are just divine – they brought back big time memories of Naples and their super soft go back for more dough…
You could easily have a foodie crawl down this tiny side street and have to roll yourself out at the end but you wouldn’t break the bank at the same time. Nice work Wellington.
