Takapuna Beach Café & Store

The Verdict

Takapuna Beach Café is a firm favourite with Takapuna locals, and with stunning views of Rangitoto and the Waitemata Harbour, it’s where you want to be on a sunny morning. Produce is delivered daily from their sustainable Kumeu farm and meat comes directly from the farmers themselves—so you know your smashed eggs (with celeriac, brussel sprouts, chestnuts and pancetta) will be free of any nasties.

Takapuna Beach Café’s award winning artisan gelato is churned on site—the licorice will rock your socks.
