Who we are
For over 40 years, The Preservatory has been a Merivale favourite — a place to gather, refuel, and enjoy great food and coffee.
Known for fresh, seasonal ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s long been part of the daily rhythm of the community.
Now under new ownership, we’re proud to honour that history while bringing fresh ideas and energy to carry The Preservatory into its next chapter. Our menu blends comforting classics with modern flavours, alongside carefully crafted coffee and house-baked treats.
The Preservatory remains the same local institution you know and love — just with a renewed focus on flavour, hospitality, and the future.
