New Zealand's coffee capital has been left off the top ranking coffee destinations.

Coffee company Tambia has released a list of the world's top 50 coffee spots which include cafés in Melbourne, New York and Toronto.

But notably Wellington is nowhere to be seen on it.

Wellington café owner Aydan Apiata told Tim Dower he's surprised by the news, given the other locations on the list.

He says that's especially because lots of people have been to the places named like the US, which he claims mainly does coffee and cream.
