If there’s one thing we know about Aucklander’s appetites, it’s that when we find something indulgent, we can’t get enough. Enter Cheese on Toast, which opened its latest destination in Newmarket this week. This cult sandwich shop has been serving delicious toasties since taking the City by storm at market stalls years ago, making a case for sumptuous sandwiches that do wonders to quell any seasonal blues.
After the insane success of its Three Kings outpost, Cheese on Toast went on to open a Birkenhead flagship in 2022, before setting up shop on the Shore later that same year. Now, the decadent sandwich purveyors have laid down roots in the bustling suburb of Newmarket, now calling 89 Nuffield Street home. Here, they’ll be slinging the same epic toasties and coffees we all know and love, with a few new delights sure to satisfy.

This quaint, laid-back new spot is sure to be a welcome addition to the central suburb, offering shoppers, those who work in the area, and residents alike a comforting and fail-safe new lunchtime go-to, perfectly timed for the cooler months ahead. While, at this new address, the toast maestros will be serving their signature toasties (including owner Steve Kennedy’s favourite — the creamed corn with added bacon) alongside eightthirty coffee, you’ll also find a slightly more elevated offering in the specials menu, where you’ll find inventive takes like toasted sourdough topped with burnt onion cream, prosciutto and roasted tomato, on offer.
Open now, this new eatery boasts both indoor and outdoor settings, with a bench to dine solo, big tables to sit in with friends and colleagues, and street-side spots to add a side of people watching to your lunchtime order. When it comes to winter warmers, honestly, it just doesn’t get better than this.
Opening hours:
Monday — Friday, 7am until 2.30pm.
Weekends — 8am until 2.30pm.
