Fresh ingredients and nice atmosphere. It didn’t just nourish my body but also my soul. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a yummy and healthy meal.
We had breakfast there and it was so good! It was nice having a place where my husband could have a vegan breakfast without having to make his own. We come from the far north which doesn't have many food places that accommodate vegan/vegetarian so it was so good eating somewhere that does! Food was really nice, definitely would go back again!
Mimosa is the best place in Auckland to dine when one of you is vegan and the other is coeliac. We had the smashed avo and loved it!! The broccoli was perfect. The tofu was so silky smooth. The sauce was just enough quantity and flavour. So, so good.
I was looking for a breakfast cafe that could suit my daughters dietary needs and came across this gem.
The eggs were delicious with the sourdough bread, and the buckwheat gluten-free bread was a great alternative. The iced chocolate and mocha were fantastic, but the highlight was the hash stix with the vegan aoli sauce. They were scrumptious.
The service was quick and so friendly. If you're in Auckland, I would highly recommend this even without dietary needs.

Always their big fans! 🤩

Free range dogs roaming guest tables unleashed belonging to employee/ owner (not ideal), extreme noise of machinery in seated area (less ideal), espresso shot not pulled with decent crema and served nearly 30 minutes later (add insult to injury) and charged $6 for pot of tea to discover it's only a dilmah green tea (did I step into the right business?). Had good coffee here before but will think twice about arranging a meeting here again.
TOAST SANDWICHES & FLAT WHITE - Recommended here.
The toasted sandwiches were affordable from the cabinet selection and deliciously flavoured.
The flatwhite had the option of choosing the coffee bean blend which was fantastic.
Atmosphere was cozy and busy in the main area, but it appeared there was extra seating at the back.
Will be back!

Our favourite spot in Takapuna 🥰
We're still working our way through the menu and have loved everything. My favourite is probably the avocado toast, and my partner loves the cream stew (no photo). Also, had the vegan breakfast and wanted to split it with my mum because we weren't super hungry, and instead of just adding side plates they divided everything up and gave us each our own mini breakfast, beautifully presented ❤️
Also, best coffees. I'm obsessed with the maple latte (with oat milk).

Mimosa bowl, avocado toast, omurice, vegan breakfast (halved), coffee and cabinet slices (highly recommend the snickers!), and mushroom crepe.

Update Nov 2023: even better options than before. Recently had the smashed avo and tofu, and vegan tofu Benedict, both were delicious. Finished off with a tasty vegan blueberry muffin. Great place to eat or just for coffee.
Excellent food. Friendly staff. Great vegan options. Lovely coffee. Tasty treats. Highly recommended.

A cafe with bright, lively interior design and spacious indoor seating. It has 3 varieties of coffee beans to choose from for your coffees and it has a good selection of pastry and cakes too.
The coffee was good but the breakfast was pretty average.
We ordered eggs Benedict and it comes with two pieces of over-toasted ciabatta stacked together. The one on the top of the stack is rounded (on the side facing down) and so my poached egg rolled straight off of it when I tried to separate the two pieces of bread.
The hollandaise is nice in flavour but the meal overall was not enjoyable at all because you couldn’t even cut through the ciabatta.
I wouldn’t come back here or recommend it unless you’re just stopping by for a takeaway coffee.

Delicious breakfast/lunch! Great matcha, coffee and smoothies. The food here is on point, balanced and flavourful. I loved everything we tried which was the vegan ramen, French toast was amazing and the tofu bowl! Highly recommend.
A very cozy vegetarian restaurant. The service was friendly, the coffee was great, and I tried almost everything on their menu and I was very satisfied. Of course, what I like most is the dan dan noodles, which warms the stomach of Asians.
Good mix of retail, commercial and hospitality venues all with the convenience of easy parking. I highly rate the local real estate office Ray White as well as the CJ’s seafood. Blacksmiths is also a top notch spot for a drink and a pizza, while the coffee club serve up decent brews and ‘third place’ hospitality.
Highly recommend this place . It’s very nice place , staff are friendly and welcoming. The place concept ( coffee lab ) and all the machines are very nice . We tried flat white, decaf latte it is the best one we had before . The cheese scones and almond croissant are very delicious and fresh.
We will go to visit this place again .

Great premium coffee. Super busy in the weekend, be prepared to wait for seats, coffee and car park space. Otherwise, great coffee and muffins! PS: Ask for the strong flavor of coffee bean of the day for the intense flavor, it stands out compared to all other coffee places i have ever been to!
Great coffee here :) in fact, "surprisingly good." The staff were all very prompt, friendly and helpful. The venue was pretty lively and busy but there was more space near the back that could be opened up - had a great vibe. Fun to watch the coffee beans getting roasted. Would recommend for coffee fans and general cafe goers looking for a meeting spot!
An expanding shopping hub in the growing Takanini area. There is a variety of shops and eateries in the Centre plus now our own little library! Absolutely love the expanding and diversifying of the area. While there are still some shops unoccupied at the moment, it is a great little spot with everything you could need.
Parking is always a challenge on weekends. Even if you look at the parking slots, it seems bit smaller. Though it has some good joints for food and shopping.
Nice little village if you prefer the quietness. Parking can get a bit crowded. Other than that, it's within walking distance of Bruce Pullman and the mains (Great South Road)
Would love to get in contact with the complex owner in regard to my car getting hit in this car park & the person fleeing. The number provided by the warehouse staff and on here just leads me to Vodafone. I was told you have clear CCTV, not keen on parking here in the future if not 😬
A nice little place to shop I mostly go here for The Warehouse but there are also some yum bites to grab such as Sushi & Don & LJs. Also having the Blacksmiths there to swing by and have a little midday drink is very handy!
The carpark can get a little hectic too from time to time so its good to think fast because some people are a bit inpatient.

There was not a lot of customer service there no CSR to been seen but I know the store inside out and knew what I wanted and we're to find it so it was a quick easy in and out no fuss no drama and the store was particularly clean and tidy 👍. The checkout girl was friendly and meet and greet was friendly.
