The current owners have been here for 15 years and the business has been around for over 30 years building up an envious reputation that is still enjoyed today.

 

Stone Oven still operates as a traditional café, with cabinets full of fresh food that is well presented and everything has been made on site. Not many cafes can make that claim. We have full time chefs and bakers to produce our large range of products.  Our breakfast and lunch menus are extensive with generous portions and we have daily specials.

 

The café building was originally the old Telephone Exchange building and the walls are thick and made of brick which creates a great atmosphere which you feel as soon as you walk in. The feeling is authentic and welcoming. Always warm in winter and perfect and breezy in summer.

 

We have plenty of seating inside and out with two play areas for kids, one inside and two large black boards on our deck.

Come and check us out, you wont be disappointed.

We are licensed and open 7 days 6:30am until 4:30pm

Walk in to Châteaubriant and you will feel like you are in French patisserie heaven – the bread still warm from the oven, the authentic buttery and flaky pastries, the tartes du jour, the crusty baguette sandwiches (including of course the French classic, jambon-fromage (ham-cheese)… all so delicious with the best of NZ coffee.

 

Châteaubriant is a regular stop for picnickers who drop in to stock up on fresh breads, saucisson, importedFrench cheeses, and home made terrines or pâtés, before they head to the neighbouring beach Cheltenham, or take a stroll up North Head.

 

It also keeps the neighbourhood in supply of quality take home meals, such as the eternal favourite lasagne, the French classic coq au vin, and braised lamb shank – taking the stress of cooking a family meal out of their hands!.

 

Anne-Constance and Jean-Marc Palmeri took over Chateaubriant in November 2013 after living for seven years on the island of La Réunion, an overseas region of France in the Indian Ocean. Originally from Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, Anne-Constance and Jean-Marc both have backgrounds in hospitality and have worked in the industry for many years. Anne-Constance manages the cafe and shop while chef Jean-Marc is responsible for food preparation, baking and all the delicious produce.

 

Châteaubriant is open 6 days a week, 8.00am-4.30pm.
