Loved this place! Prices are so good for the large portions you get. Coffee is good, food is good, atmosphere is nice. What else could u need for a branch spot?
Loved their new menu ❤️ i have tried almoat all of them in a months and still cant get enough !
Lunch was delicious! Centro had an extensive menu and friendly staff. I ordered the french toast which was a tad on the dry side but very nicely presented and generously-sized.
However, I think vegetarians would really appreciate it if bacon was a separate add-on cost to the french toast instead of a default inclusion.
Came here on a Saturday arvo wasnt to busy. Cute decor and the food is yum probably the best mushroom omelette ive ever had
The korean fried chicken is a must! And the staffs were very friendly! Definitely coming back again
Perfect cafe to drop by in the summer! Would give the ambience 5/5.
Didn’t try the food on the menu but the cabinet food was very pleasant. Nice place to come for a coffee date :)
A wonderful experience today in a perfect environment ! Food was great and staff so friendly . Great location with plenty of car parks and food is top notch ! Will be back again

Came to try their newly released summer menu! We tried the Korean Fried Chicken, Salmon Omelette, Poké Bowl, Creamy Mushroom Bruschetta and Plate Sized Hash! For drinks I tried the Charcoal Detox, Pear and Peach, Sunrise, and Berry! Favourites were the Korean Fried Chicken, Salmon Omelette and Charcoal Burger!
• Korean Fried Chicken (10/10) made my eyes lit up at the first bite! The batter is fried crispy but doesn’t feel heavy at all! If you squeeze the chicken, juices come out so it is super juicy and tender! There is a slight nutty flavour which really fascinated my taste buds; the Gojuchang sauce is absolutely amazing! The chefs specially seasoned the sauce so it tastes different to any other gojuchang sauce. My only downfall is that the underneath pieces of chicken didn’t have any sauce drizzled over it. Presentation looks amazing and I would gladly have this again!
• Salmon Omelette (10/10) super creamy and thick egg omelette rolled over a flavoursome smoked salmon slice, with caramelised onions seeping through the top. I was surprised at how delicious this was, it did not need any extra seasoning and texture-wise it was fluffy and moist, probably the best omelette I’ve ever had! The toast was also toasted well, and the side sauce was tangy and salty and packed with flavour.
• Charcoal Burger (10/10) probably the best burger I’ve had at any eatery! It’s giant both in size and height, packed with layers of beef patty, hash brown, bacon, egg, lettuce and their special house-made BBQ sauce! Everything was moist and pulled together by the abundance of sauce! Have this while it’s hot! Chunky fries are also fried crispy golden and pairs really well with the dipping spicy aioli!
Perfect location at the corner in Takapuna Town Centre, it’s the ideal eatery to visit throughout the year, especially in summer! The foldable doors can transform into a semi-open eatery that makes you feel welcomed! I’m excited to visit again and try other dishes on the menu! Price-wise it’s definitely bang-for-your-buck and it will definitely be a go-to for me!

I’ve been wanting to come here for such a long time and it definitely lived up to my expectations.
Service: 9/10
The service was great. The people were kind and efficient.
When they had an error with my order they were quick to inform me.
I’ve been here several times and the service has always been impeccable.

I ordered the korean fried chicken waffle and the eggs benedict.
I had to swap out the waffles for hash browns because they didn’t have waffles at the time. The hash browns were sooooo crispy and seasoned to perfection. The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in Auckland. It was so crunchy and juicy on the inside. The sweet chilli sauce added a little kick to the flavour.
The eggs were nicely poached and the hash browns were equally delicious. The mushrooms added some creaminess and there was a slightly sweet flavour in the dish.
Ambiance: 10/10
This whole cafe’s aesthetic is so chic. There are wooden tables with a fake brick wall which reminded me of New York City. There is also a beautiful angel printed or painted onto the wall to look like graffiti.
The whole place is so chill from the music to the lighting to the decorations.
This has just become my favourite cafe in Takapuna. Won’t be long before I come back!
Good place for buddies getting together. The food and coffee there is divine. I order the burger every time I go there. Love the neat place!
Friendly staff. Food was yummy. The food was hot and fresh. Really enjoyed my breakfast.
I have came at this restaurant not only to enjoy a meal, but also to officially submit my resignation after spending three fulfilling months working here. Regrettably, my visa restrictions limit my length to this duration in any given establishment. Nevertheless, I must emphasize that I have never encountered a more exceptional employer throughout my professional life. If you seek an establishment that delivers exemplary service, delectable cuisine, and wholeheartedly respects and cares for its employees, then you have indeed found the right place.
Had a great experience when I went in for lunch during the week. Ordered a Cajun burger and a coffee and received both pretty quickly. The kitchen is open and you can see all the action while you wait for your food. The staff seems efficient and ready to help out. Good coffee too!
Best Belgian waffle I have had in my life. Compliments to the chef—we don’t have a cafe in Southern California like this.
We loved the brunch here today. Tasty food & coffee. excellent customer service and calm atmosphere. A+ place to dine in.
Just popped in for a coffee, and goodness, they know how to make it well. Carmel latte, with just the right amount of everything. Love your service too. 😊 thanks. EDIT, okay after the coffee I had to try the food. I ordered the breakfast bagel. 😋 delicious. Thanks CENTRO. Wonderful

I knew I was going to leave a five star review as soon as I walked into his place. First thing I noticed was the welcoming and warm decor of the place. Very attractive, setting, and attention to detail. The second thing that became apparent was the warm, welcoming smiles and attention from the staff, who were very friendly.
Was a bit chilly at 7:30 in the morning with the doors all open (could have done with the doors being closed for a few heaters on to start, but it soon warmed up whilst we were dining.). When I talk about attention to detail, it’s right down to the cast iron teapots that serves the Earl Grey that we asked for. Both the Earl Grey tea and a long black coffee were really good. We were even offered an extra teabag by the friendly staff if it wasn’t strong enough.
The toilets tastefully decorated with nice dark glass mosaic tiles and very clean.
The food arrived in good time. I had scrambled eggs on mixed grain toast with a side of bacon. My mother had a bagel avocado. It’s the first time she has tried a bagel anywhere. Bagels normally have a slightly tougher exterior which she struggled with initially.
The attention of Staff noticed this, and immediately offered her a lighter muffin to exchange free of charge. I thought this was very kind and worthy of a mention.
My plate was delicious. , I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back to try lunch or dinner.
There is street parking with pay meter parking .
As I approached the store i liked there was out side table seating .
Nice casual cafe it has its own character atmosphere is relaxed 😌.
I ordered the smoke salmon omelette 😋
delicious and also the full kiwi breakfast
Absolutely satisfied
Cabinet food.. check my photo's fresh and tempting.
🚻 ♿bathrooms are great clean and stylish
Service was good
Definitely coming back again
The service was great and the quality of the food/drinks were great. Loved the French Toast.
The bacon omelette wasn't to our liking though. Although I think this was due to personal taste.
Overall a great cafe!
One of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to every single time we passed takapuna this is one of our stops they got a variety of food options and its a open kitchen so you’ll see while your food is been prepared highly recommended got to know that soon they are planing to add some now dishes cant wait to try them. Most importantly friendly staff and the best service. Thanks CENTRO TAKAPUNA
