Winona Forever

Parnell & Newmarket

LoginSave

Some of Auckland's best counter food – including stonking cream doughnuts – partners with innovative cafe culture at this always-busy eatery near good shopping and art galleries along Parnell Rd. Locals crowd in with travellers for coffee, craft beer and wine, and one of the cafe's signature dishes: the tempura soft-shell-crab omelette.

Alluding to actor Winona Ryder, the cafe's name is both one of Johnny Depp's tattoos – now amended to 'Wino Forever' apparently – and a Vancouver indie-rock band.
