One of the best coffee speciality shops on the North Shore of Auckland. The staff are friendly and the coffee was delicious! Atmosphere is minimalist-styled, local artists items for sale. Will be back!

Probably one of the best coffee shops in Auckland. Great beans and coffee, amazing atmosphere with very friendly staff and minimalistic interior. There is even a small local clay studio with beautiful pieces for sale. I really hope this small gem gets more recognition. Moving from New Zealand I will be really missing this place.

Great coffee! And you get a free coffee when buying beans

Really nice flat white from a place that clearly cares about the quality of their coffee. Nice light meals available as well, dessert - heavy that looked OK - I had a nice ham and cheese toastie, but the coffee is the star here. Coffee's roasted in the shop, & you can buy their beans as well.

Great little hidden gem in Takapuna. Coffee is excellent and has good cabinet food options. Easy to miss as it's down a short corridor off the main road

Honestly can't say much about the coffee shop on itself as I never have had coffee there. But, the atmosphere is really nice, the service is always really good and the coffee beans is amazing! Super recommend.

Firstly: The best flat white I have had. But that coupled with a nice casual coffee shop and friendliness makes this my favourite destination for my favourite drink. It is a bit hidden, but all the best places are a bit of a hidden gem.

Probably the only coffee shop in Takapuna Central to serve pour over coffee and have different bean selections. A godsend from all the espresso based cafes and shops in the area.

Great coffee shop. Regret I missed your last day. All the best :)

One of the best coffee spots I’ve been too! Super consistent with their orders, friendliest staff who cultivate a local community feel. Everything feels considered and curated, including their goods sold here. Also the fact that they roast their own beans makes supporting this small business even more with it.

Fantastic coffee with fantastic staff. We wandered past and were drawn to the modern industrial vibe. A big roaster In the centre of the cafe tells you they are serious about coffee. Pleasantly surprised by the bean/roast selection, and were patiently introduced to the coffee they offer. Their flat white is one of the best in Auckland and the iced latte is also delicious (even though it was served from a regular coffee cup, but hey, it tastes good!).

The lady who owns this cafe is just so lovely. The espresso soft serve is DELICIOUS, as is the coffee. I hope the soft serve stays around for a while longer! :)

What a hidden gem! Such a cute little coffee shop and roasters with the some of the best coffee in Auckland. Especially loved their espresso ice cream. Highly recommend

The best coffee in Takapuna. It's a cozy little place hidden behind another shop on Lake Road. I enjoyed my cup of aromatic goodness - I'll be back again.

Excellent coffee with unique shop layout, friendly services and highly recommended for a visit. Parking outside can be an issue if you don't work locally. But parking withing 3 mins waking distance are available on Byron St or Northcroft St.

After more than a decade living in Auckland, I really appreciate great coffee. And great coffee is actually hard to find in the city. A flat white served at Ark can rival any of the best coffee shops in the rest of the world, always using the best quality in-house specialty roasted coffee. All the staff is always ready to look after you with a big smile on their face and the best attitude with an occasional good opportunity of a nice chat about coffee. I highly recommend Ark for anyone who hasn't been there, and trying their newly developed online shop is a must if you are in a hurry to get your daily dose of caffeine. Keep up the excellent work!

What a cool place! Perfect for coffee lovers! Got myself a bag of Ethiopian coffee beans 😋 To find this place, walk alllll the way down the alley.

Coffee tastes delicious and smooth every time. BEST matcha latte’s I’ve ever had (especially iced). Yummy treats too, I can devour their chiffon cakes in seconds). The care that the Ark whānau put into their coffee / products shines through everything they do! They have so many regulars for this reason. 💚
