Café restaurants in Auckland

  1. A

    Sheinkin

    Sheinkin stands out amongst the other eggs-and-coffee joints in Auckland's CBD due to its stellar Israeli-inspired food, quality coffee and unhurried atmosphere. They do a fabulous tasting plate, soups and salads and there is plenty of glossy reading material to peruse while you wait for your bagel.

    Landreth & Co

    A popular brunch spot with an old-Ponsonby feel and a sunny rear courtyard. For something a bit different, try the kedgeree (kippers, rice and egg).

    Logos

    Space Age meets New Age at Logos café. With low-slung lightbulbs downstairs and themed rooms upstairs (brought to you by the colour blue, green and one Mid-East-inspired). The mostly veg menu sneaks in some chicken and seafood, but offers lots of animal-free dishes. It's all healthy, including the wine-list.

    Brazil

    Boho Brazil café's exposed plumbing and peeling paint would make Terry Gilliam proud. Serious coffee drinkers are also proud of Brazil's home-roast brew from beans prepared in the basement. Filled bagels and great breakfasts are served amongst electro-industrial soundscapes and aromas of steaming coffee.

    Zigana

    Owner Ramazan Semiz is everyone's friend so give him a wave before before tucking into Zigana's house-roast coffee or a Mod-NZ main of chicken, lamb or fish. Thin-crust pizzas promise the world, with toppings from Alaska, Greece, Sicily and (not least) Turkey - spiced lamb, butter, parsley and fresh tomato.

    Richmond Road Cafe

    Auckland’s current ‘it’ cafe, and with good reason. The service is impeccable and the menu is full of well-priced and interesting cafe fare. If it doesn’t have a cardamom-cream or lavender-syrup twist it’s too boring for this place. Try the spiced banana and rum porridge with fresh coconut.

    Baci Lounge

    Round padded booths are nestled among the shelves at this very appealing bookshop-cafe. Devour delicious counter food (salads, paninis, fancy pies, gluten-free slices) and literary greats all at the same time.

    Rosehip Cafe

    The name fits: it’s near the Rose Gardens and it’s pretty hip. It’s a tad pricey but the food’s delicious, particularly the buttermilk pancakes and the Vietnamese-style squid.

    MacGregor Brothers

    The wonderful internal features of this petite art-deco shopfront have survived, making this a great spot for a quality coffee and cake served on fine china.

    Ice It

    Away from the hordes on the main street, this café isn't all about sweet treats. There are healthy wraps and cooked meals to choose from too.

    Spilling into the laneway, this tiny cafe-wine bar literally has a trolley-load of delicious snacks and light meals.
