Food establishment in New Zealand

“Tío Pablo is a gift to Aotearoa. At risk of sounding overly dramatic: The fact that we have access to prompt doorstep delivery of all the main dried chiles and masa harina—in generous bulk quantities too—truly improves the quality of life here on the island for those of us Mexican-food lovers. Have been ordering from them for about 5 years now, and they've always had exceptional speed/service. The only thing I'm still missing here in NZ is access to fresh tomatillos, but can't fault Tío Pablo for not diversifying into fresh produce ;) Thank you for existing and for the great work you do, team!”

“Very friendly and great coffee!”

“Yesterday, my husband and I went to Parnell Farmer's Market for brunch. In one of the stalls, a gentleman invited us to try his product. He dipped a cracker on some tandoori paste and gave each of us a piece. Ohhh that taste in my mouth was just tandoori heaven. We could not say No and had to purchase one. Leaning on the advise/recipe of the gentleman, we purchased a pack of chicken and coconut milk to make some lunch for today. And boy did @dollymummanz 's tandoori make me a masterchef today!!! So, thank you #dollymummanz We will be back for more, that's for sure!”

“a really good place to get your Japanese/Korean fix with reasonable price. I've tried their udon, lunchboxes and 3 flavours of donburi - not once did I regret. The food taste delicious and freshly cooked. The area might sometimes feel dodgy for those notnused to the city (a pity) but lunch hours should be fine.”

“Even I got there 1 minute before closure, they provided a high quality service - without a grim face of expression.”

“Good lord this place is impressive. Proper good coffee, and a deliciously concise menu, that changes seasonally. 15/10 ez.”

“I cannot recommend Arno enough - he went above and beyond, including my last minute requests. He was responsive and made everything happen (I am very particular and nit picky). He paired the wines perfectly with the food. The food itself - SPECTACULAR. Arno uses the freshest ingredients and best quality meats, the blends of sweet, salty and fruity were incredible.”

“Amazing coffee. Andy makes a variety of different coffee for you using quality beans roasted here in CHCH. The coffee is pulled through a vintage Italian machine. Has a variety of dairy free options available. Easily one of the friendliest baristas you will come across in town! 10/10”

“I can't rave enough about The Classic Butcher. their beef patties are hands down the best I've ever tasted! So yummy...juicy, lots of flavour and absolutely top-notch. The friendly service makes the experience even better. I pop in once or twice a week and I'm always greeted with a smile. It's such a pleasure to support a local business that not only delivers amazing meat but also treats customers so well.”

“A great find on our road trip out west. The best coffee, amazing service and fantastic atmosphere. A quirky little cafe where you sit with locals and have a chat and a good laugh at their stories. A fun place to be.”

“Absolutely fantastic coffee 11/10! Great value, wholesome, and tasty food options. The homemade cookies are a must try!”

“Wow. Ordered online and the feed arrived at grazing before I did! Fantastic service from Red Barn. The lovely team goes out of their way to help. Huge timesaver. So glad I found them.”

“Tasty lunch at reasonable price with friendly service. Has been a favourite of mine for years and has remained consistently good.”

“I have been here a couple of times now. Great hot chocolates, and the people are so friendly. Glad to support this business.”

“Amazing coffee and friendly service. Best part is Bernard accepts crypto payments through the PIN Network which is a big bonus and amazing to see small businesses in NZ take on new innovative payment options!”

“Off the beaten track but definitely well worth it. The amazing(est) burgers ive ever tried. I 100% recommend everyone and anyone go here for a feed. The owner/operator is pretty awesome too. AND ITS OPEN SUNDAYS!”

“Such a nice owner, and the coffee was absolutely delicious, thanks so much!”

“The sushi was delicious and the portion sizes were very satisfying. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and we really appreciated the complimentary rice ball—it was a lovely touch! The miso soup was also very good. Overall, a great experience—this is now our new favourite sushi spot in Takapuna”

“Beautiful family business. I arrived with my infant son for a very late lunch and they were still open which was incredible. They are so welcoming, friendly, accommodating and generous. 11/10 and will be a returning customer again and again.”

“Great service and products, very easy to deal with. Highly recommended.”

“Great service. Brilliant products. Free lozenges with honey. Very happy with them.”

“Shelley is absolutely amazing. Had the pleasure of purchasing a wetsuit, kids skateboard, scooter parts which Shelley kindly put together. If anything she doesn't have at store she always finds and orders in. Love supporting our local surf/skate/scooter store here in Papamoa and will always go to her. Can't recommend highly enough and worth our community support instead of online. Can't bet that personal touch.”

“Absolutely in love!!!

Well worth every penny!!! Happy kids happy mum thank you so much DEj kids ill be back for more ordering for my grandchildren xxx”

“The guys in here are amazing and so friendly, very helpful with choosing a bottle of wine.”

“We happened to discover this place while passing by. The owner was very friendly, and there were plenty of chocolates to taste. The cozy shop was decorated with a variety of chocolates. Every chocolate that our family tasted was delicious. We regret not buying more. We searched for their website to purchase again and hope that it will be updated to make ordering easier. I look forward to visiting this place again :)”

“Highly recommend - best deals on some amazing wines, honestly 1 Million times better than supermarket prices if you buy a box deal. i only need to purchase a few times a year to stock up the wine rack! If you like to drink good quality wines that don't leave you with a raging headache - shop here (and drink responsibly). oh, delivery if you are not in AKL is amazingly quick too! I had a box of 12 arrive the next day!”

“Oh my goodness THE BEST BYRIANI we have ever tasted the butter chicken was amazing not too rich and not too mention customer service! Highly recommend- support your local small business people. Thank you to the team at desi joint the food was SUPERB! A+++”
