Seoul Roastery 1946

On Auckland’s North Shore, Seoul Roastery 1946 blends modern Seoul flair with the comfort of nostalgia. True to its name, it welcomes both coffee lovers and food enthusiasts into an all-day rhythm that feels relaxed yet quietly refined.

Mornings set the tone with Korean-accented takes on café classics. The Saecham breakfast folds eggs any style into milk bread and chewy rice cake (tteok), a gentle nod to home-style warmth. Eggs Benedict arrive atop rosti potato and spinach, with optional bulgogi adding depth and a savoury sheen beneath the hollandaise.

As the day unfolds, familiar favourites are reframed with bold, satisfying flavours. Bibimbap comes layered with vibrant vegetables, a fried egg and gochujang, while Seoul Chicken delivers crisp boneless bites with rice cake and a choice of sauces. Evenings lean into comfort with kimchi fried rice and Jikobac chicken, with sides like portobello mushrooms or fries rounding out the meal perfectly.

To finish, Yo Ah Jeong tempts with real honeycomb over yoghurt ice cream, fruit and granola, or an indulgent slice of New York cheesecake with vanilla ice cream.

Pull up a chair, linger a while, and let Seoul Roastery 1946 be a delicious bridge between Seoul and the Shore, a taste worth crossing for.
