Driving Creek Cafe

Driving Creek Café is a vegetarian eatery tucked beside the historic Driving Creek Railway in Coromandel Town. The café’s compact menu features meat-free breakfasts, fresh salads, hearty vegetarian lunches and homemade sweets, along with smoothies and juices made from seasonal produce. The owners supply the kitchen with vegetables and fruit from their own garden and they source extra produce from nearby growers, so dishes change with the seasons. Coffee LaLa beans are roasted locally and brewed alongside teas, and the café offers gluten-free and vegan options. This focus on plant-based, home-grown ingredients gives the café a simple, sustainable character without formal organic certification.
