VEVO Catering & Eatery is a go-to local café and catering company in the heart of Titirangi Village, Auckland. By day the café serves delicious, fresh, high-quality food crafted with passion, paired perfectly with its signature Mt Atkinson coffee poured by a barista team the crew is plainly proud of. The business was founded in 2011 by Victoria, a qualified chef who found her feet in the fast-paced kitchens of Auckland and Melbourne from the age of 19, and it runs on a simple vision: quality, care and community first, food made with love, and coffee that is always spot-on. She and Rueben were even finalists on Cooks on Fire, Season 2.
Catering is where the kitchen really stretches out. The pick-up model covers Morning & Afternoon Tea boxes, Working Lunch Boxes, Sandwiches, Rolls & Wraps, Canapés & Finger Food, Proteins, Salads and Cakes & Tarts — mouth-watering bites for all occasions, from corporate meetings to beach picnics and having friends over. Orders need 48 hours' lead time, with urgent enquiries handled by phone.
You'll find them at 402 Titirangi Road in Titirangi Village, next to Tonic Spa — open Monday to Saturday 7am–2:30pm and Sundays 8am–2:30pm. Whether it's coffee and a treat or the full catering monty, VEVO is about doing the little things well: a perfectly poached egg, a great conversation at the counter, and a warm welcome the moment you walk in.
In the heart of Titirangi Village, right next to Tonic Spa, VEVO lives a double life. Most mornings it is a friendly neighbourhood café, pouring its signature Mt Atkinson coffee and serving fresh, high-quality food to locals. Behind the scenes it is also a busy catering kitchen, sending pick-up boxes of canapés, salads, sandwiches and celebration cakes out to everything from corporate meetings to beach picnics and long lunches with friends.
Both sides of the business grew from the same roots. Victoria, a qualified chef who found her feet — and her fire — in the fast-paced kitchens of Auckland and Melbourne from the age of 19, started VEVO in 2011. Her vision was simple: a space where quality, care and community come first; a place where everyone is welcome, the food is made with love, and the coffee is always spot-on. Sharp-eyed food TV fans might recognise her and Rueben as finalists on Cooks on Fire, Season 2 — a wild and wonderful ride, she says, that reminded her why she loves what she does.
VEVO is all about doing the little things well: a perfectly poached egg, a great conversation at the counter, the feeling of relaxing the moment you walk in. The café runs Monday to Saturday from 7am to 2:30pm, opening a little later at 8am on Sundays — a breakfast-and-lunch rhythm, so plan to come early rather than late. Coffee is non-negotiable here: the team sources its beans from their friends at Mt Atkinson and is plainly proud of its baristas. For the latest specials and updates, VEVO points regulars to its Instagram and Facebook pages.
Orders are made for pick-up, which suits anyone swinging through the village en route to the office, the beach or a party. Browse the online shop, choose your boxes, and give the team 48 hours' lead time to prepare everything fresh — that's the one golden rule.
The range covers a full day of eating. Morning & Afternoon Tea boxes bring a little sweet or savoury something for the team. Working Lunch Boxes are the convenient way to lunch — ready-made fuel for mastering your day. Sandwiches, Rolls & Wraps are ready to go wherever life takes you, with fillings running from the classics (bacon & egg, chicken mayo, tuna mayo, ham & cheese) to katsu chicken, turkish pie and spanakopita filo, plus pork belly and tofu rice paper rolls for lighter appetites. For bigger tables there are Proteins for meat-lovers and vegetarians alike, healthy Salads by the bowl-load from traditional to exotic, and Cakes & Tarts from little treats to full-blown celebration stunners.
Entertaining is VEVO's party trick. The Canapés & Finger Food boxes are built to impress your guests: a Gourmet Club Sandwich Box of 36 pieces that solves the meeting lunch in one hit, ten Mini Savoury Quiches for morning tea, and a Gourmet Sausage Roll Box that gives the kiwi classic a quality makeover. The Assorted Small Bites box packs 40 fancy nibbles; the Mixed Skewer Box brings grilled flavours like beef kofta, teriyaki chicken and chorizo & cheese; the Blini Box delivers 30, with salmon blinis among the house favourites; and the Sushi Box feeds a proper crowd with 72 pieces. One to note: the Tartlet Canapé Box is available on request only, so flag it when you enquire.
For the café, simply turn up before the 2:30pm close. For catering, the golden rule is 48 hours' notice, and urgent enquiries are handled by phone on (09) 555 1997 or by email to Victoria and the team. Vegetarian guests are well catered for across every category, and the store policy page covers special requirements, pick-up and payment details for anyone planning something bigger.
Whether it's coffee and a treat or, as Victoria puts it, the full catering monty, the invitation is the same: get in touch, come in, and let the VEVO team take care of the rest.
