Mimosa is a small but significant addition to the great Takapuna area. It is slightly out of the main café/bar restaurant strip, but I think this almost adds to it's likeability.
I can't remember what was here before Mimosa, but I have a feeling this one will be here to stay for awhile. I finally came here after driving past it numerous times and peering in the window.
The staff are lovely and chilled. They are really welcoming and happy to help, but know when to let you be. Most of the seating is inside, but there are a few seats outside on the footpath. I usually like a seat in the sun but because Mimosa is on a main road, I prefer sitting inside.
They have great but not large range of unique and organic food, sushi and Kokako coffee which is both fair trade and organic. Their brunch menu goes all day, which is always good for those days after a big night, and they have a lunch service also.
Situated in the heart of Takapuna, it is great for a mid-shopping stop off, or walk 2 minutes down to the beautiful Takapuna beach. read more
