Food establishment in Auckland

“Guy making coffee was great. Staff are always good here. Good gluten free options.”

“Super cozy, friendly atmosphere restaurant. A lot of options of vegan desserts and cakes. Delicious coffee and teas. Friendly and welcoming staff. One of my favourites in Auckland for coffee and dessert. Thanks! :)”

“Amazing food and better service! This is a must stop for anyone in the area. Highlights for us weee the mango smoothie, eggs Benedict, avocado smash (better than California!), and raspberry scone. So good.”

“Today, we stopped by Mitre 10 Takanini and were pleased to find Columbus Coffee inside. They offer a great selection of cabinet food and menu items, but sometimes, it's just about enjoying a delicious drink. Given the warm weather, I opted for a Belgian Iced Chocolate — it was refreshing and exactly what I needed on a hot, humid day. We also had a double-shot flat white, which was smooth and satisfying. The café has plenty of seating, both indoors and in the Mitre 10 Garden Centre, which offers a lovely outdoor setup. For families, there's a little playground and even some colouring activities to keep the kids entertained. The service was friendly, efficient, and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Overall, Columbus Coffee in Takanini is a clean, inviting spot with great drinks, food, and service — definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!”

“Great pit stop on the side of the Motorway! Amazing food and drinks. Lovely outside/courtyard type seating area. The breakfast food options were delicious (the omelette in particular 10/10) and a sweet little mimosa to wake the girls up. Recommend!”

“Super friendly owners. We live just down the road from the store. Great bunch of people.”

“Kareoki nights are the bomb. Tammy the Kareoki DJ on Tuesday night and Dave Hoeta on Thursday and Saturday nights from 9pm. A must visit if you're a singer or waiata artist.....chuuur!!! Fun place to visit.”

“Only popped in for a couple of things instead of driving further on into Papakura to my usual supermarket. I'll never go anywhere else. This one stop store has it all and cheap. Friendly as staff . Great butchery selection. Algud in general.”

“Woolworths always delivers! The store is consistently clean, well-stocked, and easy to navigate. It makes the weekly shop feel just that bit more pleasant. Friendly staff and fresh produce—can’t ask for more!”

“Lots of stock can buy there, nice one!!”

“Nice store layout for a small store. Have a decent sized beer chiller and have the majority of brands available. I liked this shop so much because they have the small Jack Daniels collection packs which some bigger shops didn’t even have. Shop is located next to butchers, roast shop, pizza, cheesecake shop and fruit and veges which makes it very convenient.”

“Great Service and wearing protective gear. Well done”

“The new customer services team, Chris in particular is outstandingly customer focussed. I have been a loyal customer for years but apart from the owners who will obviously be customer driven they have had a mixedbag of counter staff, leaving a bit to be desired. Good job in hiring the latest Filipino talent! They know how to delight a customer.”

“Great shop! very neat and clean and VERY GOOD PEOPLE THERE. Awesome Customer Service!!!!!!”

“So glad we found this little cafe! The manager was so friendly and explained the menu to us very clearly. We both had a sandwich and it had to be the best sandwich I’ve eaten in a long time! Coffee was delicious and served very very quickly!”

“Great cafe really enjoyed our meals. The service was lovely and quick. Ice matcha was good. A good relaxing vibe. Value for money too which was a bonus if you spend over a certain amount your kids meal is free. Recommend this cafe to shoppers at Sylvia. 14/06 Just revisited and still consistent & generous with servings!”

“If you are looking for a delicious snack, try the ham and cheese croissant at Showa cafe. The croissant is perfectly baked, and the ham and cheese combo is simply delicious. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Posting on behalf of husband. Great service and competitive pricing!”

“Love this store. Customer service is always on point. Staff are always so friendly and Carly has the best recommendations to add to our wine collection!”

“A great place to get a variety of specialist foods ie, keto, paleo, gluten free flour, sauces etc. Heaps of herbs, spices, teas, flours, bread making kits. They have beer making supplies, they have lots of stuff! Nice, friendly and helpful staff too.”

“Has everything you need whilst on the island.”

“Great range of fresh fruit and veges. Always leave feeling like I got a bargain. The service is unbeatable. Very friendly”

“Seems to be the only fruit and vege shop i can find thats not only great priced but also nice and tidy. Drive from Manurewa every weekend for fresh fruit and veges. Love this place. The eggs are also very yum.”

“Very friendly and helpful service. The best mince savouries (according to my son).”

“Our guests on our Vintage Views tour of Auckland loved there stop here. Must do stop at Mission Bay.”

“Super impressed with the quality of food, service and cleaniness of the cafe. No table is left uncleared. Always such a pleasure having our family breakfast here!”

“Pak’nSave Ormiston is one of the newer stores around, and you can definitely tell. It feels a lot cleaner and more modern compared to the older Pak’nSave branches. The layout is spacious, the lighting is bright, and everything’s a bit more organised. It’s still got that classic Pak’nSave warehouse vibe, but it’s a lot more pleasant to shop in. The prices are what you’d expect — some of the cheapest around. If you’re doing a big shop or trying to save a bit each week, it’s a solid option. They have all the basics, and the weekly specials are usually pretty good. The fresh produce section is generally decent. Most of the fruit and veg look fresh, although just like any supermarket, sometimes you’ll come across stuff that’s seen better days. The meat section is well-stocked and usually good value. The bakery has a nice variety too, with heaps of buns, rolls, and breads ready to grab. Staff at Ormiston seem friendlier than at some other branches. If you ask for help, they’re usually happy to assist, and you’ll spot a few walking around the aisles if you need anything. Self-checkouts are there if you’re in a rush, but even the manned checkouts move at a good pace most of the time. Parking is probably one of the best parts. Since it’s in the Ormiston Town Centre area, you get a big parking lot with easy access. It doesn’t feel as chaotic as some other locations, which makes the whole trip a bit less stressful. The area around the store is nice too — you’ve got other shops, cafés, and places to stop in if you want to make it more of an outing. One thing to note though, just like other Pak’nSave stores, some items shown online might not always be available in-store. So if you’re planning your shop based on what you see on the website, maybe don’t expect everything to be there when you arrive. Overall, Pak’nSave Ormiston is a pretty good spot to do your shopping. It’s clean, newer, and has a good range of products at great prices. You still get the budget-friendly experience Pak’nSave is known for, just with a slightly nicer atmosphere than the older stores.”

“Perfect country side styled cafe to relax and enjoy the food and atmosphere. And I even got to see a 135 years old pine tree. Thanks to my beautiful daughter, we got to visit this place, rare but perfect.”

“Love this place! Go to place everytime we're in Akl. You never know what you'll find, that's the best part. Prices are very reasonable and sometimes you can find interesting products you would only find in specialty shops.”

“Been coming to the store quite frequently - as well as my co-workers. It's my go-to spot for all things Korean. The store has an incredible variety of products. Staff are accommodating, friendly, and kind. Laughs with them too sometimes! Plus, they give me knowledge about the foods I'm curious about - makes it easier for me to decide, considering the variety. The store is clean, well-organized, and a joy to shop in.”
