Mimosa is a really cozy cafe to visit on your weekends. The environment is warm and relaxed which was a perfect spot on the windy Saturday I visited.
They have a unique selection of homemade vegan cabinent treats and also a full food menu with a reasonable amount of beve4age selection.
The Matcha Latte here (unsweetened) is one of the best and authentic I've had in Auckland so far. The barista prepares the matcha by actually whisking it with the proper equipment so it fully dissolves in with the milk (unlike some places where you can see lumps of matcha just not mixing in).
The cafe gives a peaceful and warm atmosphere, and overall is very clean and tidy and is a great place to start off your weekend!

With homework on my mind and on the verge of sickness, I went to Mimosa. I ordered a turmeric latte and was very surprised at how tasty this was. I was impressed by the presentation and the atmosphere of the cafe is adorable with extra seating in the back. While there were not great plug in's for doing homework on a laptop here, the area was still great. Do not suggest doing school work here.
Cosy and friendly cafe, tasty sourdough toast and hardworking but relaxed staff, and very nice. Chill atmosphere and great coffee too, could become a favourite hangout.
On the menu, a rendition of a Japanese style curry using a combination of fresh root vegetables and brown rice that elevates you and leaves you feeling fueled and satisfied without sacrificing flavor. A refreshing difference from the popular katsu curry, that leaves you feeling extremely satisfied but induced into a food like coma that leaves you couch-ridden. The cabinet is filled with nourishing salads and baked treats. A peanut butter rice snap that lures the sweet tooth with its sticky, sweet and crunchy charm and beautiful rainbow rice rolls that juice and crunch with every bite. I may come back to have something familiar or to adventure and try something new, but either way, I am always surprised by the food served at Mimosa. It has become a place that relaxes, nourishes and intrigues me.
Calming atmosphere and great use of recycled retro furniture. The staff were polite and friendly. The menu had an authentic Japanese home-cooked feel to it. I had the miso tofu and vegetables with rice. The miso sauce was bloody delicious - full of umami and took what would have been a very average dish to the next level. Overall, an enjoyable meal and would definitely go there again with my vegetarian friends.
Such a great experience at Mimosa yesterday. My partner and I popped in for brunch and ordered the coconut waffles and eggs benny. His eggs were perfectly poached and he enjoyed the flavour combination. My coconut waffles were deliciously spiced and the caramelised pineapple was incredible! Our long blacks were so good that we ordered a couple to take away. Definitely returning to try more menu items! Thanks Mimosa for a wonderful experience!
Chose Mimosa for a birthday brunch with Mom and brother. We all raved about the food. We had the pancakes, muesli and smashed avocado all of which were really good. We’re a near lifelong vegetarian family, so it was a delightful find. Look forward to going back.
Love the private, cosy outdoor area out the back - perfect for a peaceful lunch or for reading! I enjoyed their lychee & coconut panna cotta with fresh fruit, as well as their avocado, mushrooms & halloumi. The matcha latte could have been more flavoursome. Overall, happy with the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.
Love the food here! I love it even more that it’s Japanese fusion cause I love Japanese food! The staff are very nice too. Quite a small cafe but there is also “backyard” seating for a more cozy feel. I have been here a few times and don’t mind coming back. They have a good range of dessert but I don’t recommend to here for that. Go for the mains!
Interesting experience. I have never enjoyed vegan food in my life, but Mimosa was the place to change my point of view, Vegas do actually have a great food.
Rubhurb pana cota was very great breakfast to start the day, a bit of fruit smootie/mash, with some muesli and fruit pieces, very delicious. Also their barista is up to highest standards, tasteful coffee with a piece of art on top, amazing place.
Vegans will love it, also a wide range of breakfast foods you can choose, so a bit of everything for everybody.
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 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.
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.
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).

Mimosa bowl, avocado toast, omurice, vegan breakfast (halved), coffee and cabinet slices (highly recommend the snickers!), and mushroom crepe.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
