From 1920–1950, 'coffee', to most Wellingtonians, meant 'coffee essence', liquid coffee and chicory served in hot milk.
In the late 1950s and through the 1960s coffee bars sprang up all over Wellington city, with names like La Scala, the Picasso, Sans Souci Coffee Shoppe, Tete a Tete, and the International Coffee Lounge run by Wellington celebrity Carmen.
