Bakery in New Zealand

“Good plain Kiwi pies and stuff. Catering trays available to load up if you need a lot.”

“First ever visit and I was not disappointed. The Sausage Roll was fresh, the pastry was crisp the filling was flavourful and filled the pastry. The Almond Croissant and the Panna Chocolate (even tho I didn't try them until I got back to Whakatane about 4hrs later) was absolutely devine. But what topped it all off was that the staff, as well as being friendly and helpful and just a breath of fresh air, actually brought everything out to the car, I have never had anyone do that for me. I am sure that locals know all this about Best anyways but they definitely deserve praise and I challenge all locals to nominate them for the 2024 Prospa Local Business Heroes because they deserve it. Keep up the amazing mahi that you girls are doing.”

“Amazing service. The girl working there was very helpful and nice. Excellent customer service.”

“I recently had this amazing platter, and it was absolutely delicious! The combination of grilled halloumi, falafel, rice, and the creamy sauces on top was just perfect — rich in flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. The hummus and tzatziki were authentic and full of taste, and the bread was soft and warm, perfect for dipping. The manager was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He made sure everything was served fresh and checked in to see if I was enjoying my meal — a nice personal touch that made the experience even better. You can really feel the passion for good food and customer satisfaction here. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for a hearty, flavorful Mediterranean meal and genuine hospitality. I’ll be back for sure!”

“We shop here a lot. Love the range of items at this supermarket. Staff are friendly and store is easy to navigate”

“The new owners of this Bakers Delight are awesome. So friendly, helpful and they make the most delicious bread and pizza bases! Highly recommend. If asked nicely, they will even ship their product to you, very handy when this is THE BEST bread in NZ. I am a fan. Thanks to Jess for being so accommodating. Really appreciate the service!”

“Aura Coffee is one of the best in Mosgiel. As a foreigner, I appreciate the respect and kindness they show. The coffee is excellent, and the staff are friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to visit.”

“Fully stocked grocery store. Nice guy too”

“I ordered from this bakery a while back on uber. They were not very good so I didn't order again until very recently. They have to have new bakers or owners because the food quality has changed dramatically for the better. Classic bakery food done really well for a great price. Has become a new favourite of mine. I always judge a bakery by the quality of their custard slice and this is one of the few that make a real, proper one. Highly recommend.”

“Beautiful home cooked food and also has a restaurant menu. Top country-side café that I've been to. Coming here very day while I'm working in Waitoki”

“Great place with friendly, accommodating, courteous and generous staff members complimented with good and yummy food. Although they don't have chips/fries, their rosti is definitely the better replacement. Very accessible being adjacent to the train station as well as having plenty of parking spaces. The public playgrounds next-door make this a great option to bring your children along.”

“My new favourite! The store itself is a little cramped, but I have been there 3 or 4 times now to try different things - absolutely delicious every time :)”

“Absolutely delighted with our experience at 21 Grams! A hidden gem that’s both kid-friendly and seriously satisfying for the grown-ups. From the moment we stepped in, the warm aroma of freshly baked pastries mixed with rich coffee was simply irresistible. The menu offered fantastic dietary options, which made it easy to find something for everyone — even the picky eaters. My kids loved their meals and drinks (yes, they’re still talking about them), and I was genuinely impressed by the quality and flavor in every bite. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on taste, comfort, and family-friendly vibes — this is it. A must-visit that we’ll definitely be returning to.”

“Great food, felt like I was back in the Middle East. Loads of food in a eat all you can buffet.for $30. Food was fresh and tasty, was very busy but they squeezed us in on a Saturday night. It's an eat and go type place, you godforsaken the food rather than the atmosphere. Would recommend for those who love Lebanese.”

“New World is a reliable supermarket with a great balance of quality and variety. The fresh produce is always appealing and well stocked, and the bakery section has some delicious options. I appreciate the friendly staff who are helpful and make shopping easier. The store layout is clean and easy to navigate, making it simple to find what you need quickly. Prices are reasonable, and the weekly specials often include good deals on essentials. Overall, a solid choice for your regular grocery shop.”

“Everything you need at Woolworths, handy to stop in when ya forget your toothbrush when travelling!”

“Good place to shop. Good range of items . Friendly staff nice wide aisles. No lotto.”

“Always clean, well-stocked, and organised. Staff are friendly and helpful, and everything is easy to find. Shopping here is always a pleasant experience”

“Countdown is great for its wide, clutter free isles, the comprehensive refrigerated fruit and vegetable selection, and the extensive range of products in every department. I especially appreciate being able to buy pin-boned salmon fillets.”

“Parking atrocious in front of store but extra parking at shopping centee area. Prices expensive but also some good things. Staff nice.”

“Amazing place to shop; you get everything you need under one roof. Better pricing than other competitors.”

“We can chill and spend our time choosing whatever. Nice and clean. Not too busy on weekdays. Self-service matching was very easy and had more options to use.”

“Best countdown ive been too! Always clean and filled with many different varieties of groceries no matter what time you go. I love that theyre open till 11pm, me and my husband love going for a midnight munchies run.”

“Great customer service from wonderful friendly staff. Great range of products in store. Fresh produce and awesome range of fresh meats.”

“Great supermarket.. prices are reasonable and they sell everything. Staff are nice and friendly”

“I come here most times to do my shopping have great service”

“An all time favourite. Always an amazing choice of foods that never fail to please in both size and flavour. I've heard there are other branches of Kreem but there is something special about the location on Universal Drive.... I'll be back”

“With its generous layout and seating options inside and outside, this cafe provides a charming setting to enjoy your food. The amazing crew greeted us and showed exceptional care; their vibrant energy captured our attention right away. A diverse array of choices awaits you, including kitchen menu selections and beverages, highlighted by an impressive showcase of pastries and desserts up front. One should highlight the lack of trashy and shallow music, along with the ample space and cleanliness of the washrooms. Summer has arrived, and it's common to expect buzzing flies while eating; however, their conspicuous absence results from the Rentokil system fixed to the wall. All is satisfactory! Those who love food need to experience this restaurant! With two visits behind us, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming ones!”

“The pear French toast was incredible! And the views, aesthetics, staff and atmosphere were amazing. Such a great spot for a walk in Auckland. They catered for dietaries and intolerances. Highly recommend. @kirbystaltari”

“Easy access and when I couldn't find something staff were very helpful. Checkout staff very nice to deal with. Great to be greeted with a smile”
