Verona

The Verona building was constructed in 1923 and has been a part of Auckland's growing multi-cultural society since the cafe restaurant was introduced in the early 1960s. It has been responsible for pioneering numerous forward thinking concepts throughout the years, including being one of the first espresso cafes in Auckland, and one of the first all organic vegan restaurants in the city (circa 1970).
Verona has always been considered a cultural melting pot in the eyes of many, and provides a home for people from all walks of life. Our aim is to provide a diverse and welcoming experience throughout, from music to visual art, from a delicious cabinet menu to intriguing alcoholic beverages. From our rich history to our foreseeable future, we pride ourselves on being an iconic part of Karangahape Road's beautiful culture.
