About the Business
Welcome to Aye! Empanadas & More, a delightful establishment located at Wellington's Oriental Parade. As a cafe, restaurant, and store, we offer a unique experience that combines the flavors of Argentina with our homemade delights.
Founded by Ayelen and Sebastian, two passionate individuals from Argentina, our institution brings the traditional tastes of their homeland to the vibrant city of Wellington. Since our inception in June 2019, we have been dedicated to crafting handcrafted baked turnovers with a homemade pastry, filled with fresh and well-combined ingredients. Each empanada is made with care, ensuring a delectable experience that will transport you to the streets of Argentina.
One of our specialties is the traditional Argentine pastries, made with two delicate, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits with dulce de leche sandwiched in between. Dulce de leche is a creamy caramel confection made from milk and sugar, adding a delightful sweetness to these delightful treats.
At Aye! Empanadas & More, we also cater to special occasions. If you're looking for a whole cake to celebrate a birthday or any other special event, we can create one upon request. Our commitment to quality extends beyond our food, as we strive to provide excellent service and create memorable moments for our customers.
In addition to our delicious offerings, we also provide high-quality empanadas that can be a great addition to the menus of cafes, bars, and restaurants. With zero waste, our empanadas are available in two different sizes, allowing you to cater to your customers' preferences.
Furthermore, we are happy to cater for a variety of events, ranging from corporate meetings to birthdays and weddings. Whether you need a selection of empanadas for a morning tea or a full catering service for a special occasion, our team is ready to provide a personalized experience that exceeds your expectations.
We invite you to visit Aye! Empanadas & More at our Oriental Bay location or explore our original shop and production center in Kilbirnie. Experience the taste of Argentina, infused with our special touch, and let us take you on a culinary journey you won't forget.

"Empanadas are super tasty. Coffee is good too but went on a sunny day last time and they are busier than ever so the wait was around 30 minutes. Definitely head there outside of peak timing because it's worth it."
"Where I usually go to was busy so I grabbed a mocha from here. It was good (7/10) and the food looked great. So I will pop in and try the food soon."
"Yummy Empanadas, tried 3 flavours. We like the chicken, ham & mozarella, not the beef. Lovely view of the city and Oriental bay. Wonderful staff."
"Delish! I had a long walk, and when I passed this place, I decided a snack was more than deserved. The corn and pumpkin empanada went down so well, that I needed second one, so went for the beef. Yum! The beef was tastier of the 2. Both staff were friendly, and provided recommendations. I really wanted to try the alfajores but had to skip them - they did look amazing! There were a few vegan options of both too. Also had a clean bathroom that was very much appreciated :)"
"Delicious coffee and great views! If you’re after authentic Argentinian Empanadas & Alfajores or just a nice spot to sit and unwind- this is your place to go. Vegan options available. Highly recommended!"
