Road Trip to Auckland: The Mozaik Cafe (Orewa, New Zealand)

January 13, 2013

We were just looking for a place to have breakfast as we drove north through Orewa on our way back to Opua.  We found parking and were so hungry we just went to the nearest place, the Mozaik Cafe.  It was a casual place, and we figured we could get the basic eggs, toast and a coffee drink.

We were pretty surprised to look at the menu and see the kinds of dishes I’d expect to find at a more upscale restaurant.  Could the food be as good as its description in a casual little place like this?  The answer was a resounding yes!  This is the quality of food we’d expect to find at Spago, not a little cafe in New Zealand.  This is definitely a favorite! –Cyndi
