Massimo cafe
51
wow, Look at Caffe Massimo now! Early December will see the opening of the all-new Caffe Massimo on The Strand at Takapuna Beach. Be prepared Channel Magazine readers for something very special. Caffe Massimo has been an institution in Takapuna for 14 years. A very popular meeting spot for breakfast, lunch and a coffee. These changes will ensure this popularity continues, and grows, big time. Owner Ali Yildiz (he also owns Bolero Tapas Bar, SpyBar as well as Caffe Massimo Newmarket, Albany and Takapuna) has left no stone unturned in creating a new facility that goes hand-inhand with Takapuna Beach. The all-new Caffe Massimo will be open from 7am until late. It is now a cafe and a bar. In addition to breakfast, lunch and a coffee, you’ll be able to get dinner and entertainment at Caffe Massimo in Takapuna Beach. You’ll also get a good look at the beach. While the shell of the building remains, everything else is different. A feature of the new Caffe Massimo will be the purposebuilt outdoor areas that have been created to take advantage of the environment. The views. Previously, Caffe Massimo
faced away from the beach. Now it takes advantage of the view down to Auckland’s premier beach. There are built-in outdoor areas with fire places and large tables. There is a safe children’s play area so mum and dad can relax while having a quiet drink or a meal. The spacious outdoor areas will be complemented with sophisticated Louvretec shutters to provide protection and shade when it is needed. “We are thrilled with the result,� says Ali Yildiz proudly. “We wanted a beach-concept development with greenery where our customers can feel right at home and we have achieved that. A place where people can casually dine and socialise in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying the benefits of the natural surroundings.� The inside area at Cafe Massimo has been completely refitted. Previous customers won’t recognise the place. There are new toilets, a new kitchen and completely new decor. They have been roasting their own coffee beans at Caffe Massimo for the past 14 years and this will continue. The premium hot air roasting machine takes pride of place in the new cafe and bar area. While Caffe Massimo is now a cafe and
a bar, most of the favourites on the popular brunch/daytime menu have returned and there is still an emphasis on free range, organic and healthy food. There will be great coffee and tasty treats right through the day and some interesting new additions to the brunch/daytime menu. The dinner menu will have small platters and a range of meal options that customers will love such as salads, pastas, seafood, chicken and prime cuts of meat. “We will have dining capacity for around 100 people and a total capacity of 200,� adds Ali Yildiz. “We will be fully licensed through until 1pm and will have a great selection of wines, spirits, cocktails as well as tap and bottled beers. We will open seven days and there will be live entertainment from Wednesday through until Saturday, including a DJ. We will also have large screens for watching sport. Caffe Massimo will be ‘the’ meeting place in Takapuna – our customers will love it.� Caffe Massimo Takapuna: The Strand, Takapuna. Telephone 486 5550.
