Looking for $3 pumpkins? Or how about bags of fresh apricots for $6? Or maybe Feijoa fruit ice…read morecream? Then, you have come to the right place - The Fruit Shop. Their Instagram bio claims it is "Hawke's Bay's best fruit destination"... and I think they are right on track! While I loved the fresh fruit and vegetables at the Hawke's Bay Farmers Market, the fruit and vegetables at The Fruit Shop were more reasonably priced. Plus, real fruit ice cream - and not just the usual strawberry and blueberry, but FEIJOA. Ultimate bonus!!! We literally filled our car with sooooo many goodies from The Fruit Shop and took these all the way back to Auckland. I would highly recommend you stop here next time you visit Hawke's Bay!

The staff is super nice and friendly. The chocolates are delicious, and that's coming from someone…read morewho is normally not a huge fan of chocolate. The shops are very clean and offerings are well presented. There are different flavors of food items that I don't see elsewhere and am excited to taste when I get back home. The gelato is delicious, being not too sweet and creamy in texture. (I tried the white chocolate pistachio gelato flavor.)

Yelp lists this as a cafe, but the place is also a Chocolate Factory with a museum, gift shop, and…read morechocolate shop. The cafe has standard fare with some interesting ones that are wraps or baked goods (sweet & non-sweet). It's decent food, I liked the muesli cake (or whatever it was called), and you can have your sweets (like my cake) come with a side of chocolate (syrup) and whip cream to top it with. The best way to enjoy this place, especially for 1st time visitors is to also check out the museum and the chocolate shop. The museum gives an informative history of chocolate. The chocolate shop is decent like visiting any boutique chocolate shop, pretty good chocolate. What I liked best is their (recent) offering of fudge (candy, not chocolate fudge). I bought mint chocolate, some coconut flavor, and cookies & creme. They are pretty good, not too thick (unless you eat the whole bar w/o slicing it up), not overly creamy, not too sweet, and not too hard nor overly gummy like Starburst candy, just the right balance of creamy texture and sweetness. And my tour guide told me the fudge is a way for visitors who are chocolate intolerant to still be able to enjoy something there. The fudge is a must try unless you like Starburst style fudge or thick dry peanut buttery type chocolate fudge.

I picked up some raw cashews and they were delicious!  If you are looking for all things organic, raw, vegan, dairy and gluten free, then you have come to the right place. They sell a huge range of fresh foods, products (including some of my favourites - Serious Popcorn, Tio Pablo corn chips and Little Bird Unbakery macaroons) and many cold drinks (perfect for a hot summer's day or taking on a picnic), plus if you are feeling like a wholesome breakfast or lunch, check out their cafe serving wholesome food next door.

Most annual hours of bright sunlight on North Island of NZ, and today was GORGEOUS, cool sea breezes, temps mid 20's C. Fine welcome at Crazy Good, helped us with AIR / pumps for the tires, made up F R E S H and delicious coffees, enjoyed at comfy outdoor shady curbside table. TASTY HOT decafs triple shots hot almond milk on the side, BARISTA made = best we've had in this part of the world, a local roaster, ON THEIR GAME, a real treat. Thank y'all for looking after us today. Highest marks. Five stars in all categories. Recommendations. Would return.

I stopped in here on the drive from Hawkes Bay to Auckland. After searching through tons of coffee…read moreplaces along the route, I came across Crazy Good Coffee. It looked legit and so I decided to check it out. The place is tiny and super cute. They have a little collection of feathers taped to the wall, in a really cool looking way. I wish I could pull off something like that in my house, but there's no way. They really made it work though. There is a little shelving unit off to the left of the shop which houses little coffee accessories for sale. They sell plungers, filters, keep cups. They have most anything you'd need to make a solid cuppa at home, including fresh roasted beans. I ordered a soy capp and my boyfriend got the same. As usual I brought my to-go cup, and the barista had no qualms about it (it's American sized, like 16 oz). The coffee production was quick, but high quality, and the music in the store was vibey and upbeat. I really enjoyed the little store and had a nice little seat in the wire chairs they have by the window, which seem to be there for people who are grabbing to-go cups. The only downside of this visit is that I live too far away to visit again any time soon. I'm obsessed with this place!

It was the final winery we visited but by far the most comprehensive experience and ultimately our favorite. The tasting room and winery grounds are breathtaking, especially with the craggy looking mountain range in the backdrop, appropriately named! The outside has a generous parking lot with a beautiful color blocked design to the tasting room and restaurant. We stopped by the tasting room first which had a large wooden tasting bar and warm red painted walls. The large windows open up to reveal the vineyards and lush green grounds. We enjoyed a tasting and particularly liked the Riesling and the Syrah. We decided to have lunch out on the restaurant patio which overlooks the beautiful green lawn, the pond with relaxing water features, and of course the beautiful mountain range. The setting is picturesque and one of the highlights of our trip. I ordered steak and the husband had a chicken main and they were presented like works of art. They were almost too beautiful too eat, but when we did they were amazing. We also had a side of potatoes which were crispy and delicious. This is an absolute must see and plan to dine here if you're a foodie, you won't be disappointed.
