The three most important things in real estate is location, location, location ~ Unknown
You would really be hard pressed to find a better location for a cafe than the Takapuna Beach Cafe on Auckland's North Shore.
It sits literally metres away from Takapuna Beach with it's golden sand and sprawling pohutukawa trees, overlooking the ocean with Rangitoto Island in the background. Combine that with the grandiose floor to ceiling windows and the uber stylish decor, and you've got the recipe for a cafe you just want to while away the day in.
When the Takapuna Beach Cafe (TBC) first opened, it was the place to be. Be you a celeb, a lady who lunches, muso or suit you wanted to be seen having a coffee at the TBC. Best people watching spot ever.
We used to go to the TBC all the time when I was living in Auckland, I loved the consistently excellent coffee, the impeccably attentive service and most of all the exceptional restaurant-quality food that was always creative and always delicious. So when my cousin and his girlfriend were over for our wedding, I couldn't think of a better place to show off Kiwi cafe culture.
The question was, would the TBC still be as good as I remembered? Would the setting, coffee, service and food still be as good? Well...turns out 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
