Take Off Espresso

Allpress yes please! I always come to this coffee bar at the Auckland Domestic Airport before boarding my flight — for my ‘standing order’ triple shot latte and maybe a shortbread or brioche. Service could be better:)

If you had a mum like my mum, you’ll be used to getting to the airport way, way, wayyyyyy earlier than you’re supposed to. She likes to get there like at least an hour before you need to check in. Wise, because otherwise you may miss your flight and also it means we always got to enjoy a coffee at Take Off Espresso while we waited for that hour.
This café is probably the best in the airport because of the seating that surrounds it. They’ve made it feel like a café and not an airport foodcourt. Definitely a win for them.
But watch out if you like to add soy and extra shots because I did and my coffee bill went through the roof. Yikes, they’re not lying about airport prices.
But all in all, it was a pretty sweet coffee and a good way to kill an hour. Have a squiz next time you’re there.
