Food establishment in Auckland

“Great service and well priced spirits here. Was impressed with my recent purchase of NZ whiskey 'Me Max'. A very good price and taste was better than I was expecting for an economical blended whiskey. Definitely worth it. Taste was something a bit different- sweeter than most blended whiskies I have tried- but in a good way.”

“Great little village with boutique, restaurants, cafes & food stores ...”

“A friendly team keen to help and a good range. Top notch.”

“The U K Shop. U K items available. A Taste From Home The management has changed and the staff is very much polite, courteous and helpful. Very nice environment. They have N Z post and Lotto too. Many services and items at one place. I would suggest to visit those who visit Orewa, NZ”

“Best breakfast i have had in awhile at a cafe. Im the kind of gal that loves baked beans, mushrooms and hash browns. The hash brown tower was excellent and worth every dollar especially for the portion size. Coffees were very good and the customer service is very friendly. Highly recommend you go and pay a visit to this cafe. Thanks for breakfast guys. We will definitely be coming back.”

“I have been here a couple of times now. And every time, these guys impress me with the quality of food they serve and their service. I was here with a couple of workmates a few weeks ago for lunch, to enjoy a meal from Western India. Their food is absolutely authentic and delicious. The staff was very friendly too. Their Parathas, Dhoklas and sweets are a must try especially Jalebis! The portions are great too and so is their take away packaging! I would highly recommend them! :) Cheers”

“Fresh fruit & Veg, quick customer service from friendly staff. Reasonably priced”

“A very neat and clean New World supermarket around Victoria park. Has all the daily groceries you need. Totally loved shopping experience.”

“Normally cheaper than supermarkets and the fruit and veg is good quality.”

“Perfect setting, well price food that was delicious. Will definitely go back.”

“Best airport meal I've ever had - by far!!! The avocado smash prepared by chef Gemma was so delicious. Her poached eggs rival any I've had at top rated restaurants all over the world. So well done I had to compliment her when I finished. And the service from Kara and Deepika was first-class as well. Great atmosphere on a Sunday morning before my flight. I had enough time to order an entire 2nd avocado smash and Americano. If you like to eat healthy, fresh, awesomely-prepared food at an affordable price with fantastic service, choose Aroha Cafe!”

“Service was good and the garden was beautiful and clean. Great place to go in summer for a nice and relaxing morning”

“Great coffee and the food is pretty good too. Great service and conversation.”

“Very kind and there are huge sorts of food. I had a happy shopping. Thanks a lot!!!”

“Great variety of fresh clean produce that's well laid out. Value for money is great. The shop is amongst other food shops with plenty of parking.”

“My Grandaughter Hayley from MELBOURNE was due for her 30th birthday, what’s a fantastic family plan she thought? Here’s the action! I will go to NZ and take granddad, aunty and her granddaughters to a fabulous attraction BUTTERFLY CREEK near Auckland airport! WOW! an absolutely amazing choice, friendly staff, well maintained, safety precautions adhered to by all! We hit cafe first as you do! The coffee was first class as was the food displayed or made. Train ride got you oriented to the park surroundings. That is wonderful! We had paid extra for a Meerkat encounter, stars where Kia and Otse friendly and playful no hesitation to climb on you for the mealy worms you fed them! Our animal keepers Madie and Woo who where in enclosure with us where knowledgeable informative and very nice people. The butterfly, kiwi, aquarium, baby animals dinosaurs are absolutely amazing! They have birthday party rooms as well! My advice for a fabulous educational and happy outing for discerning families is to take a trip and visit BUTTERFLY CREEK in Auckland NZ Arthur C Charlton west Auckland NZ.”

“Beautiful grounds, lovely club rooms. I watched some awesome women's cricket here!”

“Yum! Just stumbled upon this little shop. Gorgeous range of macarons.”

“Great selection of Indian goods,.they absolutely had what I was looking for”

“We went there for breakfast as it was the only one opened at the time. The menu offers a lot of dishes cooked French style, which is quite different compared to the ordinary cafes. There are also jams, croissant and other baked goods for sale, both fresh and frozen. Very nice seating as well.”

“Big variety of fresh produce and fruits. Always very competitive with the prices. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Strategically situated and very easy shopping. Keep on going back for the good deals and fresh produce on sale. See you again soon...”

“Good shop. Sells most of the necessities when the supermarket is closed.”

“Pak’nSave Sylvia Park is one of the better options if you’re after cheap groceries but still want a cleaner, more modern shopping experience. Being located right next to the Sylvia Park shopping centre gives it a bit of an edge — it feels a little more polished than some of the older Pak’nSaves around Auckland, and the vibe is a bit less hectic, at least during off-peak hours. The store itself is fairly new, well-lit, and spacious. Aisles are wide enough to get through without having to constantly dodge other trolleys, and the layout makes sense. It’s still got that classic Pak’nSave look — plain, functional, no fancy extras — but it’s more pleasant to walk around than somewhere like Papakura or Royal Oak. Prices are solid. You’ll find all the usual weekly deals and budget-friendly bulk items. If you’re planning a big shop or trying to save a bit each week, this place delivers. The produce section is usually well-stocked and fresher than average. Same goes for the meat department — good variety, and the quality seems to be a bit more consistent here compared to other branches. The bakery has your standard breads and rolls, nothing gourmet, but decent for everyday needs. Staff are generally helpful. They’re not going to chase you down to offer assistance, but if you ask someone, they’ll usually point you in the right direction or find what you need. Checkout times can vary — self-service is available and useful for smaller shops, while the manned checkouts are hit-or-miss depending on the time of day. Parking is actually pretty good since it shares space with Sylvia Park Mall. There’s heaps of it, and it’s not as chaotic as some other Pak’nSave carparks. That said, it can get busy during peak shopping hours or weekends, especially when the mall is packed, but it’s manageable and definitely better than the tight squeeze at places like Royal Oak. One minor issue is that, like with other Pak’nSaves, not everything listed online matches what’s available in-store. So if you’re going in for something specific you saw on the website, be prepared for it to be out of stock or just not stocked at this location. All up, Pak’nSave Sylvia Park strikes a pretty good balance — you get the low prices and variety that Pak’nSave is known for, but with a cleaner, more organised store layout and a bit less stress. It’s a solid option if you’re in the area and don’t mind skipping the frills to get the savings.”

“A BIG thank you to all the staff at Waipuna Hotel who took such wonderful care of my kids during their 4-day stay. They were so happy with the room, and we could truly feel the friendliness and kindness from everyone they met. I had a few requests for the Reservation Manager, and it was clear that every detail was looked after with care. We are really grateful for the effort and hospitality – it gave us great peace of mind and made their stay very special. Highly recommend Waipuna Hotel for anyone looking for a place with comfort, warmth, and genuine service. :)”

“Got what I needed at reasonable prices. Staff are always helpful and did help me yo make some good decisions. Parking is right outside.”

“I just came in an got a bacon and egg quiche that was the best thing I have eaten to this day. 10 out of 10 highly recommend”

“Amazing service and even better food! Got the croissants and the blue smoothies and it was all superb! Maybe the best breakfast in New Zealand! Love all the staff and their infectious positivity! Thank you for the amazing expirience :)”

“I heard about this store some time ago. Only have the chance to visit it recently. This is not your normal Asian supermarket. The tidiness and cleanness are impressive. I can't say their prices are the lowest, but the range and variety are huge compared to other markets.”
