    This location has been through a few transformations during my life on the shore, but I think Massimo is the most successful and definitely the one best suited to the environment. Just a stones throw from Takapuna Beach, Massimo perfectly reflects the relaxed beach vibe. I have often gone here with big groups for both brunch and dinner, and it's been great. The service is relaxed but professional and the food is delicious. There are the usual brunch items, open sandwiches and delicious salads. Plus really yum sides. Massimo is one of those places that can do day and night really well. It also hosts some pretty great parties and is a very cool venue to hire out. There is an outdoor area, plenty of seating, and generally just a lot of space. Most tables get the sun, but if the weather turns there's a lot of room inside. A nice place to soak up the Takapuna vibe.

    Zomer Cafe & Beach Club - really loved this sea-bach style decor

    A casual business lunch bought us to Zomer. We sat inside as the spring weather is still a bit…read morecool if the sun is not out. Started out well as they had the Japanese Green something something tea my friend wanted - a good start. There was a bit of a chat about sandwich or salad, salad or sandwich so we decided on one of each. Neither disappointed. The chill chicken with gems in pita looked delicious - not my choice but a bit of envy. It looked a bit hard to eat but that only made it look even more succulent. I had the sirloin salad and while it was great, tasty and somewhat virtuous - i wanted that sandwich! Next time.... The coffee was very good as usual and the friand looked moist and disappeared quickly so I assume was very good

    In my book nothing beats a Saturday morning walk followed by a spot of brunch in the sun and I…read morethink this may just be my new favourite spot. It's hardly surprisingly, considering I'm a huge fan of Zus and Zo and this new-ish sister café has a lot of similarities; the huge communal table full of amazing looking sweet treats, the delish home made preserves, the lovingly made coffee and the fresh-faced staff. However, one big difference is that there is heaps more outdoor seating at Zomer and for a sun seeker like myself this is a definite plus. I came here last Sat for a lazy brunch with a couple of friends. Grabbing one of the last tables outside, our waiter promptly came took our drinks order. Whilst my buddies went for coffee, I was a tad hungover so opted for their refreshing almond milk, baby kale, banana and honey smoothie ($8). It really just tasted like a banana smoothie but it was delicious all the same. For brunch, I went for the Bruschetta, which is served with haloumi, roast pumpkin hummus, rocket and streaky bacon. Although simple, it was really yummy and they didn't skimp on the haloumi or the bacon. Big tick in my book! I am excited to head back here to sample some of their dutch offerings and their freshly squeezed juices, which looked devine.

    Left in Tears - Horrific Customer Service Experience…read more I had one of the worst and most distressing experiences of my life at Jam Organic Cafe. I left in tears after being verbally attacked and humiliated in front of other customers by a staff member. I had ordered eggs Benedict with salmon and gluten-free toast. Instead, I was served bacon -- something I cannot eat due to an allergy and religious dietary restrictions as a Muslim. When I politely mentioned the mistake, the woman who had taken my order (of Indian descent) came out and began loudly accusing me of calling her a liar. She repeatedly said, "Are you calling me a liar?" and "Don't call me a liar," while raising her voice and creating a scene in front of the entire café. Rather than calmly correcting the order, she escalated things by questioning my honesty and even went so far as to suggest I might be lying about my religion to get the meal changed. Her tone was aggressive and intimidating. She claimed she had offered to fix it, but that only came after the yelling began and in the middle of her verbal tirade. The situation got so bad that a passerby outside the café intervened and asked if I was okay. Only then did she slam the plate on the table and ask what I wanted. By that point, I was so shocked and shaken that I asked for a refund -- but I never received it because I ended up leaving in tears. What was even more upsetting was that none of the other staff members stepped in to help or defuse the situation. They witnessed the entire thing but said and did nothing. I have never in my life been treated this way in any restaurant or public space. It was deeply humiliating, traumatic, and unacceptable. I will never return to Jam Organic Cafe. No customer -- or human being -- deserves to be treated this way. If you care about respectful service and basic human decency, I suggest you avoid this place.

    Jam Organic Cafe is absolutely delicious! Its very health conscious by providing free range…read moreproducts such as bacon, eggs, chicken and everything organic where possible. A huge tick which I totally follow in my own weekly food shopping. This is a great venue for a sunny day, because most of it sits outside in the sun. So not the best place to visit on day with rainy weather. The quinoa fritters were a great modern take on the boring corn fritters, served at most cafes. Mixed with beetroot, they are light and airy with no grease. The candied walnuts gave it the texture it needs with that tad of sweetness to balance a savoury dish. Its a very innovative dish and something different to order. The only issue was there was too much feta, which over powered the dish slightly, also I personally am not a fan of feta so that could just be me. No complaints with the egg white omelette from my mate. The banana smoothie was delicious - and wow soooo big! Couldn't believe the size. Big tick for value for money right there. I would happily return, even if its a short drive to the north shore. Great service, value for money and love the healthy vibe the cafe provides.
