    We had a great Sunday brunch here! We had lattes (one regular latte and a matcha latte) and the eggs Benedict with Beetroot Hollandaise sauce. Possibly one of the best Eggs Benedict dishes that I have ever eaten!The service was prompt and courteous. They were busy, but our drinks came out quickly and our delicious meals were served about 10 minutes later. This is one of the few vegetarian/vegan restaurants in the area, and we were not disappointed! They have a good selection of baked goods, desserts, and gluten-free options, too. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, including a covered back patio area. We will definitely return here sometime again soon

    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.

    Presentation: 5/5 Timeliness: 4/5 Price: 4/5 I'm a meat eater so it caught me off guard (in a good way) that this place is vegetarian(except eggs bene). Enjoyed the protein that wasn't meat.

    If you like vegan or vegetarian dishes, this is the place. There are a good options of vegan food. However we didn’t try the food only because we were there for a coffee.

    Love that I can get a fully dairy free hot chocolate here! And it's rich and full flavoured. Also love their rice crispy bars. Yum 😋

    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.

    Had Eggs Benedict, which was really nice plus staff were willing to swap out pumpkin for mushrooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cappuccino was lovely, had it with oat milk which was nice. Will be coming back to try some of their other dishes.

    First place I ate at after moving to NZ and it was lovely. Ramen was fantastic, atmosphere was quaint and we were treated with respect. Great for vegetarians and morning coffee!

    Food was really good, but my wife had allergic reaction after specifying it needs to be gluten free, so seems like some cross contamination going on. If you have serious gluten issues, probably best to avoid this place 😢 Otherwise a really nice organic restaurant

  • 3/5 Matt W. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best tasting vegan cafes I have been to, but unfortunately they don't have a high chair, with a active one year old this turned what would have been a lovely lunch into a pretty stressful situation. For this reason unfortunately we won't be returning.

  • 5/5 Jessica-Anne N. 1 year ago on Google
    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). Photos: Mimosa bowl, avocado toast, omurice, vegan breakfast (halved), coffee and cabinet slices (highly recommend the snickers!), and mushroom crepe.

    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.

    I’m not Vegan but this restaurant populated when I performed a search for grain free items. I was pleasantly surprised. It was an interesting taste. Overall I enjoyed my time here and would recommend it for vegans.

  • 3/5 Claire S. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was super pretty but the flavours were not very traditional

  • 5/5 Isabella_7 6 months ago on Google
    Great vegan cream soup and the sourdough that came with it was the best I’ve had, highly recommend. Their matcha latte was very natural and not too sweet or artificial. The atmosphere is very cosy and welcoming.

    $13 for this half made sandwich? This is ridiculous, two pieces of halloumi that cover half the bread and nothing at the back? For $13 this is terrible and would not recommend this to anyone.

  • 5/5 sophia 2 years ago on Google
    Can't fault it! I had the vegan smashed avo with a vegan iced chocolate and both were amazing. Also took home a slice of their vegan bounty bar which was delicious! Will definitely be back. Perfect brunch spot.

  • 5/5 Trew P. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely vegan breakfast. I normally don’t opt for tofu as it’s my least favorite meat alternative but I LOVED it on this toast. It was my favorite part of the meal. I’ll definitely be back to try everything else! This Cafe is amazing.

  • 5/5 Aeon The D. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm not typically one for vegan/vegetarian food but the food here was delicious, fairly priced and the service was quick and friendly, would recommend

  • 5/5 jin j. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    Amazing staff and great vegan food!

    Reallllly good vegetarian Cafe with a LOT of delicious vegan options.

  • 5/5 Eden R. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic spot with great vegan options! I had the big breakfast and the flavours were well balanced, everything well seasoned! My partner had the waffles and loved them! Recommend this place for the great food and fantastic service! 😊

  • 5/5 Koby O. 7 years ago on Google
    Just the way I like my cafe - great design, healthy, tons of vegan options, everything is tasty and is prepared on the spot. The bowls are especially good - we had the power bowl which is a nice take on a Mexican bowl with a mixture of cheese, beans, rice and avocado, and a tofu bowl which is served with a lovely cup of vegan miso soup. The smoothies are also great. If you are in need of an energy boost go for the peanut butter smoothie. It is just amazing. Beach access is just around the corner.

  • 4/5 Bianca T. 5 years ago on Google
    Staff were warm and friendly. When we arrived it was very busy however seemed slightly understaffed. The food wait was around 30mins, we thought that was very long however the food did turn up well presented and hot. Ordered the waffles, eggs bene (vegan), soup and tofu bowl. The food was very nice and overall great flavour, found that the misogynist was lacking that came with the Tofu bowl. Dessert was snickers and jelly top slices. Jelly was great but I would guess the snickers was a miss. If you are vegan and looking for a nice place for a sit down chat and food I would recommend it. Have been in he past and the wait time always seems to be fairly long, so not recommended during the week unless you have a very long lunch break.

  • 5/5 Nyree J. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm never disappointed when I eat at Mimosa! Extremely delicious, satisfying food and beautifully presented! I always recommend the waffles to people I take there and they are also never disappointed! I usually order a savory dish and if I'm lucky I get a bite or two of waffles too 🧇 😋

  • 5/5 Liz R. 2 years ago on Google
    Wanted to go somewhere different so I chose Mimosa, when we walked in there was appetizing food in the cabinet. I ordered again bowl and my husband vegan eggs Benedict. When they came they were very pleasing on the eye and tasted delicious. The staff were very friendly, we'll definitely be back!

🫤 Not a fan. I couldn’t drink the cocktail, it was cloying and unbalanced. We also received our food first and waited well over 5 minutes for drinks - they should really hold the food until you have your drinks with you.
