In 1995, Café Melba opened in the iconic Vulcan Lane location, instantly becoming a favorite for locals and visitors alike. It was only a matter of time before our successful recipe moved beyond the CBD and ventured out into the wider Auckland area. Over the years, we have fostered an unwavering dedication to providing great coffee and an excellent café dining experience. You'll find that each of the nine unique MELBA locations serves as a cherished gathering place, a home away from home, where memories are made, laughter resonates, and palates are satisfied. So, whether you find yourself strolling past our original café in Vulcan Lane or catching up with friends in one of our suburban locations, know that a warm welcome and an enjoyable experience awaits.
