Café...
Freshly roasted coffee, all-day breakfast, light lunches, sweet treats & freshly made Italian gelato!
Welcome to your local!
At 4th Avenue Café, we serve more than just meals and brews. From our first spot in Parkhurst which opened 20 years ago to our more recent home in Illovo, we’ve become a neighbourhood favourite for honest food, legendary coffee, and a space where everyone’s welcome. Whether you’re working, catching up, or just stopping by for your usual, we’ve saved you a seat.
Start your day with our freshly roasted secret house blend — known affectionately as ‘The Legendary Pink’ — or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Grab one of our famous imported French croissants or egg and bacon rolls ‘to go’… or just relax, stick around, and indulge in one of our signature breakfasts or popular light lunches.
‘4th,’ as it’s fondly referred to, is also the perfect afternoon spot to unwind and enjoy a cuppa with a sneaky sweet treat, a lick of our delectable homemade Italian gelato, or simply sip on a glass of chilled sauvignon blanc or cold beer to end off your day.
Roastery...
Behind every cup of our signature blend is our in-house roastery — where the magic begins.
We roast 100% Arabica beans with absolute care, guided by quality, flavour, and consistency.
Our unique blend of beans from South America and Africa is perfectly roasted and finessed into a complex, full-bodied coffee that delivers sensations of cocoa and hazelnut, with rich dark chocolate aromas and a lingering velvety finish. It’s known affectionately as ‘The Legendary Pink.’
Events...
We bring the coffee — you bring the occasion!
From weddings and birthdays to office launches and brand activations, 4th Avenue Coffee Events delivers a full café experience wherever you are.
Whether it’s our iconic pink trailer or the legendary Piaggio, we serve barista-made coffees and café favourites that turn any event into something special.
Want to make it memorable? Let’s brew something together.
Gelato...
Made freshly in-house and served with a smile — a scoop of joy, straight from our counter.
Our imported Italian gelato powder is made from dehydrated milk and fruit ingredients, giving it an intense flavour with a creamy, smooth texture, rich density, and a richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams and sorbets.
From classic favourites to bold new flavours and vegan options, every scoop is silky, creamy, and just perfect. Whether you’re cooling off on a sunny day or finishing your meal on a sweet note, our gelato is always a good idea.
