The new CRL City Rail Link opens up more frequent train connections around Auckland and makes for a great chance to do a “cafe tour”. I’ve mapped the best cafes and factored in those closest to each station so you can really maximise your train time.

- Kingsland Atomic Coffee Roastery – 4 minutes on foot.
- Maungawhau Coffee Pen – 6 minutes on foot.
- Karanga-a-Hape Millers (originally I recommended Bestie) 4 minutes on foot.
- Te Waihorotiu Remedy – 4 minutes on foot.
- Waitematā Daily Bread Britomart – 3 minutes on foot.
- Grafton Billy – 7 minutes on foot.
- Newmarket Red Rabbit – 5 minutes on foot.
- Parnell Red Rabbit – 8 minutes on foot.
