Cafe Food Culture

Cafe Food Culture brings a spirited blend of heritage and hospitality to East Tamaki in East Auckland. Drawing on Parsi, South African and Kiwi influences, the kitchen leans into fresh, seasonal New Zealand produce to deliver plates that feel both comforting and quietly adventurous. It is the sort of neighbourhood café where the welcome is warm, the coffee is confident, and conversations stretch long.

Breakfast and all-day favourites set the tone. Dude’s Big Brekkie piles free range eggs, bacon, mini boerewors, garlic mushrooms and grilled tomatoes beside a cool swipe of labneh on sourdough, while Turkish Labneh Eggs marry poached eggs, toasted tomatoes and crispy kale with turmeric cumin sourdough. Lighter moments range from smashed avocado on sourdough to gourmet sandwiches, brewed alongside expertly crafted coffees.

When the mood turns heartier, the Stetson Beef Burger arrives in brioche with its signature pink sauce and a fried egg, while the Tandoori Chicken Burger brings grill-kissed spice. Comfort sides of grilled halloumi and fries with aioli keep good company, as do globally minded indulgences like Biltong Poutine and Loaded Tandoori Chicken crowned with yogurt raita and pickles. Toasties include the Much Loved pulled chicken and a creamy mushroom on toast for pure satisfaction.

Weekends nod to Irani café traditions with akuri pav and kheema pur eedu. Settle in with friends or gather the crew for a cosy catch-up. Drop by for breakfast, linger for lunch, and let those cultures mingle on the palate — a delicious meeting of minds and morsels.
