Book store in New Zealand

“I had my pleasure to have dinner at Cassia. We tried the Feast Menu. The foods were delicious! Great cocktails! Lovely services. The Daal could be improved because there was an overwhelming taste of Maggie Spice. The Fish Taco was the star for me. And of course Beef and Lamb!”

“Janelle, you are AWESOME!!! My best friend and I wanted a matching memorial tattoo. Janelle fit us both in on a Sunday afternoon, doing an AMAZING feather tattoo on us. We can not thank you enough for a tattoo that means so much to us and for your hospitality whilst having us in your studio. You made us feel very welcome and such a chill vibe.”

“I don't really write reviews but Krista-lee did such an insanely amazing job with my hair yesterday I felt I had to leave her 5 stars! I am always quite nervous when going to a new hairdresser but she knew exactly what i was attempting to request (without even showing her a photo), she made some great recommendations based on my natural colour and skin tone, was extremely thorough and took her time with me and the results were beautiful! I often find people take more off the length than i would have liked but the cut was 100% perfect and the colour is so gorgeous. Super stoked to have found my new hairdresser in Auckland :)”

“We chose private hire of party kingdom, not only was it clean, safe and it was a cool temperature during a hot day, they went above and beyond setting up two parties rooms and Eve the owner setup an extra party room as a disco room which was a hit, I found the price extremely cheap and lucky for what we were provided, the service was amazing and run by a local family. If you want real effort and real service this is the place to go as I will be telling everyone. We plan parties for children everyday this is our life I decided I couldn’t do it this year as it’s our job and it was the least stressful birthday I have ever had, We were very fortunate and my kids can’t wait to do this again. Eve and Adam have created such a wonderful place for families I couldn’t recommend it more. Edit: Reading the bad reviews below on what people are complaining about really hits home, this is a family run business not a corporation, businesses cost money, us family run businesses can’t afford multiple staff, I feel like some people nothing still ever be good enough, people need a reality check. Eve juggled so many people at our party and everyone was actually over the moon. Don’t spend $9 and complain about it what is wrong with you people.”

“Wonderful, great service from a walk in for our Son’s upcoming formal, they took their time to talk through the different options and styles to suit our Son, would recommend to anyone”

“This is a fantastic spot for brunch and coffee. It’s a busy cafe so it might pay to book ahead, however we turned up and had to wait 15 minutes for a table for 2. Once we were seated the service was fantastic. I was eager to try the espresso tasting flight and loved it, a staff member explained the origins of the coffee which was great. The food was fantastic, it came out quick and the quality was exceptional! We are definitely going to come back again.”

“Full hair cut and beard trim from Tui. Put your trust in this guy. Listened closely, interpreted exactly what I was after, with clear communication throughout. Couldn't be more stoked with the execution. Highest possible commendation. Thank you!”

“After shopping, I found that the right rear wheel of the car had an abnormal sound, and then parked in the parking lot in front of the store, just a handsome guy found us, chatted with us enthusiastically and said that he heard the sound of our car, and then helped us check that it may be that the stone was stuck in the brake disc. But he was done with work, he checked it for me and then went back to the shop to get the tools and said see if it could be solved, and then he noticed that there were sawdust stuck in the brakes and helped us get rid of it. He was friendly and communicated with us all the time. And he's off work and he's willing to help solve the problem, and it's free. The service was really good. Very impressed. Forgot to ask the name of the handsome guy. Thank you for that tall, thin and handsome guy.”

“Upon stumbling upon this coffee shop during my search, I found it to be a commendable choice! It's a delightful spot to savor a delicious cup of coffee accompanied by delectable sweets like their irresistible brownies and cakes. Additionally, the abundance of street parking nearby adds convenience to the overall experience. While it may not have been my ultimate discovery, it certainly stands as a solid option for a cozy coffee break with tempting treats.”

“Had a biscoff waffle and pumpkin pie latte. My son had apple cinnamon muffin. Lovely!!”

“I had a half head of foils/highlight, tone, cut & blow dry. My stylist - Donna - was fantastic. She listened to my concerns & preferences, talked me thru the process & the final results were excellent. My appointment took 3 hours. In that time Donna was efficient, chatty, kind & engaging. The salon was initially very quiet at my appointment time but became busier, she handled walk in inquiries & early arrivals calmly & respectfully.”

“Desrae is the best! Thank you for my nice colour and cut. I never loved my hair so much. You really put a lot of pride into your work. See you next time.”

“This is my first coffee in Napier. I was looking for nice coffee with small snack and good atmosphere. So searched Google but couldn’t find it. And when I drove to Kmart with kids. It suddenly showed up in front of me and I could feel it. So I came back after Kmart. And it was perfect for me. Thank you so much!”

“We did the guided walking tour around Napier’s art deco buildings run by a volunteer from the Art Deco Trust. You need to pre book your places on the tour. It was easy walking, went for about an hour and a half, they provide you with a head set so you can listen to your guide. Great stories, wonderful insights about the city, especially the earthquake history. I’d highly recommend the tour.”

“Great staff, the little food I had was delicious and the coffee was good”

“The staff are friendly & professional, they take good care of each customer. My hairdresser Jade is amazing and always cuts & colours my hair just the way I love it. She is attentive & very highly skilled. Love going going there for my appointments.”

“Very interesting little shop, worth a visit. Lovely warm and friendly lady behind the counter. She does all of the knitting, and it's beautiful!”

“Traveled from South Auckland to bring our son here for his birthday based off the great reviews and his love for crepes. Specifically only came for that one dish, the crepes, and man they didn't disappoint! The crepes were flavorful! Very tasty! Price is reasonable I spose. Service was great, She always had a smile, kept water topped up, greeted and farewells us. Made us feel comfortable being Hori's in a boujee environment lol Atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Beautiful view. Going back to try the meals on the menu. Highly recommended the crepes!!”

“Great team, friendly service, awesome products and prices Thank you Cheers brendan Mobile rust surgeon ltd”

“I had my hair done by Sylvia today and I absolutely love it! She worked within my budget and we had a good discussion of my expectations prior to starting. Sylvia was good at building rapport with me and she made me feel very comfortable. She provided me with a quote before starting and Sylvia talked me through each process. I have pre-booked with her for my next appointment in a few months so looking forward to it :) Thanks Sylvia!!”

“Great little store with a variety of action figures and collectibles. Surprised to find Xenomorph NECA line and just had to pick up this amazing NECA Kenner line Rhino Alien. Store staff was super friendly and obviously a huge sci-fi fan as well. If you’re looking for collectibles especially horror oriented, FUNKO or Neca, can’t go wrong going here:)”

“I popped in here to see what styles they had that might fit a women's size 18. They had at least six to choose from that was suitable for day wear. They had really nice lace dresses too but I wasn't looking for lace. The salesperson was fabulous. I got on really well with her and she listened to what style of dress I was looking for. She knew her stock and she knew what it would look like on - a couple of the dresses looked like sacks when hanging on the rack but looked wonderful on. Wish I could have afforded two dresses as I found it was hard to make a decision! Sadly I returned my dress today after nearly two months and wearing it around 10 or so times. With only three washes gentle washes the fabric pilled & it looked old real quick. The lady was really nice and apologized. I was sad too as it was not up to the standard of quality I have come to expect from Annah over the 13yrs that I've been buying from her. It is being sent to head office for inspection and I will hear in due course whether I get my money back or a credit or the dress back.”

“A good place for beers after work, good selection of beers thar are regularly updated. Expect it to be busy if its straight after work, with it being quieter a couple of hours after. Don't forget to sample the beers if you aren't sure whether you like it, staff are helpful and knowledgeable”

“Just wanted to take the time to say a massive thank you to Aj that cut my hair a few weeks back. Was nice and quick in, my buzz cut was slickkkk and I felt so much better after my cut. Thank you for taking care of me and for understanding my situation, you are appreciated. Will be back with my boy and his mop of hair next.”
