Gifts in Auckland

“Nat at Pretty Posies was fabulous to deal with when I needed some plants sent as gifts. Prices (especially local delivery) were very reasonable and the plants looked great. Thank you!”

“Leon assembled the most beautiful bouquet of exquisite, fragrant flowers for my daughter, who had had a bad couple of days. They were the perfect remedy to cheer her up. He also personally delivered them in the time I asked for. Very delighted with his creativity & prompt service 10/10”

“This is a hidden gem. Needed flowers for my mums birthday and am so glad this shop came up. Absolutely beautiful flowers and staff! Such a lovely shop with so many different boquets to choose from. Will definitely be my go to for flowers from now on”

“Have sent three different arrangements of flowers from Briar Rose in the last 2 months. They have all been really nice and have lasted well.”

“Finally a dessert shop in Te Atatu. I love the croffle, super buttery and pair perfectly with the tangy mango. The bingsu was really good too! Can't wait to try different flavor!”

“Such a surprise to be a recipient of a hand delivered gorgeous bouquet of flowers delivered to my door in rural Wellsford on my birthday. From my brother and sister-in-law in Tauranga.”

“Beautiful fresh flowers and bouquets that have been thoughtfully and artistically arranged by Mckenzies Flowers. Avaliable at waimauku freshchoice.”

“Believe me, you are not just "ordering flowers". In our situation we required something that fitted a theme for our event, requiring a certain colour and that's where my creativity stopped. I didn't have any ideas or figure out what to describe. Susan produced the wow factor, not just with colour but gave us an artistic and creative display. Susan knows design and flair. And modern! The display was all class and had a cutting edge look, way more than the normal traditional type bouquets/designs. What's more is I called from Australia and it was right on closing time yet Susan was happy to chat about our requirements without time pressure (after getting nowhere elsewhere).”

Lotus Hair and Beauty is a hair salon offering cuts and styling and men's grooming. The team is known for friendly service. Appointments focus on achieving the look clients request.

“A lot of work has gone into these tiny fairy houses, craftsmanship by the fairies is first rate! My 4yo loved them and waited for fairies to turn up. "They're asleep now, they only come out at night Sweetheart!" :)”

“Strong and Nice Cold brew coffee Salmon cuiche was nice Wahyu beef and cheese pie was delicious!!!”

“First time visiting this place while in town, and I’m so glad I did! The smoothies were incredibly delicious, probably the best I’ve had in a long time. The cheese scones were just as amazing, perfectly fresh, and flavorful. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!”

“Wanted to try Tob Coffee as heard there's always a queue. It's a busy place with a great vibe. Service is quick and efficient, and staff is very friendly. Purchased beans, Vietnamese latte and Mocha. Enjoyed the experience and great coffee. Will visit again.”

“I tried out the great new kitchen in Anastasis Coffee Roasters. It’s an interesting mix of Chinese/ Taiwanese, Mexican and American street food with baos, birria, fried chicken and churros on the menu. I had forgotten how good baos were and these got me back hooked with great flavours and textures. The tacos are as good as any other birria tacos I've tasted in Auckland and the fried chicken had just the right amount of spice kick and comes with dipping sauce. There's some seating inside and an outdoor area outback with string lighting. Great vibe. They are also looking to get a liquor license and other offerings in the future. The current kitchen hours different to the coffee store openings are Wednesday 11am-2pm and Thursday to Saturday 11am - 2pm, 5pm - 9pm. Definitely worth stopping by and trying out.”

“Been going here for about five years. The best suishi around bar non, their tuna & avocado roll, & salmon avocado rolls are the absolute best there is no comparison. They make incredible Udon too, when they're closed I'm always so disappointed with other sushi places. Try them, you wont regret it, seriously!”

“Loving Bay sushi, best Sushi in Browns bay , always fresh, super friendy service and lots of selection.”

“Have been coming here nearly everyday for a long time, Sushi is Always Fresh & Yum, Good service too, they also give you plenty of Wasabi/Soy sauce & Ginger without charging extra. Thank you Team! ❤️”

“The salmon sushi was so fresh tasting. It was nicer than some expensive sashimi I've had at some other places. I ate it all so quickly and went back for more pieces... Very affordable, tasty and extremely friendly staff. Thank you!”

“Amazing menu all round, vegetarian options are all delicious, tasty tofu, awesome kakiage, spring rolls, dumplings & nigiri very satisfying”

“Best coffee/ drink spot. Best service, they always remember our order. We've been coming here literally for years and it's still my absolute favorite place!”

“Food was delicious and a very good portion for the price. The owners are lovely and the overall experience was very relaxing.”

“Melissa fixed my hair from the damage I did to it in going from dark to blonde! She listened and achieved the exact colour and style I was hoping for. I am over the moon! Friendly staff and atmosphere. I have found my go-to hairdresser. Thank you so much x”

“Wendell was so lovely and takes her time and produced an amazing result. Love the colour, hair cut and style she gave me. Will definitely be going back.”

“Always rely on her for my cuts and perms! Happy with my hair every time I leave.”

“The most well stocked store i’ve been to.”

“Incredible little bottle shop with an amazing selection of beers, wines and spirits from nz and around the world. You can tell these guys really care about their product and presentation. They find really interesting and great items at all price points from very affordable to really premium items. It feels really exciting and makes you want to try some of the suggestions and specials. Great work! Wish I had a similar bottle shop near my home in melbourne.”

“We went to the Billy Joel show on Saturday evening. It was absolutely superb - the quality of the musicians and singers far exceeded our expectations. The added bonus of a "supper" was a treat. This group should tour the country and beyond with this show. Great energy.”

“Excellent Service – Pram Feels Like New Had our pram serviced at Baby Depot and couldn’t be happier. The staff were helpful, knew their stuff, and got it sorted without any hassle. It’s running smoothly again and ready for our moko. Awesome to have a local spot like this with proper customer care.”

“Hands down our favourite local takeaways. The quality of food is brilliant (burgers are my favourite) and the staff are lovely. They are really busy on Fridays at peak times (because it’s so good) but staff are always super friendly and helpful. We make sure to order around 5pm on a Friday for shorter wait times. We’d prefer to enjoy dinner from an owner-operator place like PL rather than a chain restaurant any day!”
