Welcome to Carriages Cafe

Carriages Cafe is located in the heart of the Kumeu Wine Country. Situated in two railway carriages, with a large covered deck overlooking a beautiful pond with a variety of birds, Carriages Cafe is a truly unique place in whole of Auckland. The area is known for its many attractions, such as wineries, Muriwai beach, Gannet Colony, Arts Centre and many others.

Carriages Cafe offers a delicious breakfast and lunch, and now we are open for dinner every Friday and Saturday night. Come and have a great cup of coffee, or have a glass of New Zealand-made wine on our deck overlooking the pond while kids feed the ducks and other birds. Our food is some of the best cafe-style food in Auckland, and our Eggs Benedict and Creamed Field Mushrooms do come with a health warning: may cause repeat visits!

Check out our menu, then come and see what all the fuss is about. Once you experience the Carriages Cafe, you will be coming back for more!

What did others say...

We were made very welcome on our arrival and the restaurant was very busy, about two thirds full. We placed our order for coffee, John Dory on salad with a side dish of wedges to share and pancakes as a desert. The coffee was one of the best I have had, as some Baristas make a coffee in which the beans taste burnt. This one was beautiful with the full coffee taste. Then came the John Dory, about 5 good size pan fried pieces, well cooked and placed on a really nice salad comprising of cherry tomatoes, beetroot, capsicum laying on a variety of greens. We asked to cut our desert from pancakes each to a shared pancake desert as we were getting full. Staff were so obliging and our pancakes arrived as two smaller servings, topped by bacon and sitting in a yummy sauce, topped with a cream, raspberries and slices of melon. All in all we had a lovely lunch in an excellent setting. The setting with the addition of a permanent roof and doors on the outside seating area, is a good improvement. R & C Ogier 13 May 2009
