Very busy Takapuna cafe - coffee was spot on but thought the service at Mint could have been better (as in quicker). Mint Takapuna is a great spot to people watch though - very entertaining scenes indeed!

After seeing a show at the Bruce Mason Centre, we popped into Mint for a sweet treat & coffees.
I had the Passionfruit creme brulee & the others had the Dark Doris plum & apple crumble! So so so good! Perfect end to a good night out in Takapuna.

MINT is consistently good with excellent food and good service. Outside seating also.

Was very disappointed with the service - not only was the attitude really bad but capability was lacking. Will not return - too much competiton in the strip

Had a very nice lunch and coffee here. Good service.

This is our local cafe, we go most Saturdays - unfortunately Mint is not open on a Sunday. It's a warm and welcoming place to visit - the owners of Mint and their staff are really friendly and babies are very welcome (and can be guaranteed to be made a fuss of!). Our baby is always made welcome and the piece of brioche and jam we order for her always comes out immediately (an important piece of info for parents!) so we can relax and enjoy our coffees while we wait for our food to arrive. The coffee is Millers, and is always excellent. One of the best things about Mint is they don't have an endless variety of part-timers working there - the staff are always the same and consequently coffee can be relied on to be great every time. The food menu is small but everything on it is gorgeous and always really fresh. I recommend the marinated chicken pide, and my partner can't go past their perfect scrambled eggs, bacon and toasted pide. There is a small selection of cabinet food which is always excellent.

This is definitely the place to go if you get annoyed with large, loud and unfriendly cafe 'factories' (you know what I mean...) Try it once and you'll definitely want to repeat the experience!

Good coffee and super friendly service at Mint Takapuna Café & Restaurant, but with Pandoro practically next door it's a shame the bread they use for breakfast meals is really average. Great eggs though!
