The Aida Pastry Shop is a historic building at 181 Cuba Street in Wellington, New Zealand . It was classified as a Historic Place Category II on August 22, 1991 by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust under number 5341 .

The building was constructed by James Bennie in 1916 and used as a restaurant, café and tea house. In 1935 it was redesigned in the Art Deco style.

The building was registered mainly because of the originally preserved Art Nouveau facade on the 1st floor, but the ground floor was heavily modified. It is now part of the Cuba Street Historic Area .
