Grand Opening - Next Monday 4 June
Centro, a new cafe and bakery in Takapuna, 447A Lake Rd, serves artful dishes amongst a creative fit-out of marble, wood and dried flowers.
Centro is a bakery too. Selling pastries, cakes, tarts, and sourdough loaves made by our head baker.
A full à la carte menu ticks most boxes: eggs bene, an acai bowl, avocado on toast as well as some Korean and Vietnamese-influenced lunch dishes, over-the-top-looking vegan smoothies, and Flight Coffee just about any way you want it. There’s a reasonably lengthy kids menu and colouring-in for smaller guests.
