Our Story

A little escape, every morning.

Named for the elegance of a quieter era, 1920's Cafe is a neighbourhood favourite on Tangihua Street, a place to slow down, eat well, and leave feeling looked after.

Locally roasted coffee

Every flat white and cappuccino starts with beans chosen for flavour, pulled with care, cup after cup.

Handcrafted food

House-baked treats and brunch made fresh through the morning, from eggs benedict to the daily muffin.

A welcome for everyone

A calm, cosy spot where regulars, office workers and first-timers all feel at home, right in the CBD.

The Oasis

A calm corner in the heart of the CBD.

1920's Cafe is the kind of place you discover once and return to forever. Cute, cosy, and unhurried, with friendly staff, excellent coffee, and food that feels like a gentle morning ritual.

Whether you're ducking in before work, meeting a friend over brunch, or simply needing five quiet minutes with a cappuccino, you'll find a welcome here.
