They had a small selection from $6.30 to $22.80. I may be all about organic and natural, but I'm no fool - you can keep that $22.80 all to ya self! The staff is well versed in the products they stock, which meant the cashier was helpful when I asked her to recommend a product. Turns out she was familiar with Toms of Main. I wanted something comparable, so she helped me make an informed decision. I was also pleased to see they carry Dr. Bronners soap. If you don't know about Dr. B's magic soap, get some and have your world rocked! Aside from toiletries, they also stock locally grown produce and dairy. Dry goods such as lentils, rice, pasta, teas and coffee are also readily available. Overall a friendly store. Most of the natural or local organic items you may be seeking can be found here.

Given supply issues still impacting supermarkets you can 9 out of 10 times find an equivalent here. Big range of herbs, spices, ingredients, both local and imported. Staff are friendly.

If you don't know this place pay it a visit.

Bulk Foods stock a very wide range of products, including dried fruits, nuts, organic products, flours and cereals, and all sorts of international food I'd never even heard of. Pepperdews, pomegranate molasses, Ceres organics muesli for only $9 and literally the biggest jar of gherkins I have ever seen - Bulk Food Savings was a delight to explore. I was stoked to find pure vanilla extract and vanilla pods in this store - they were much cheaper than at places like Nosh, and are great to use in baking. The only downside of Bulk Foods was the staff. They weren't particularly inviting nor were they very friendly, but hey - when the variety of food is that good and the prices are so low, who cares? You can't have everything! Bonus: It smells fantastic in Bulk Foods - all the different spices merge in to one mouth-watering fragrance that instantly inspires you to cook delicious Indian curries.

They've expanded over the years (and were recently lucky enough to be picked for Ponsonby Central) but the Ladies Mile store is still going strong, serving the sandal-wearing hippies and conscious hipsters alike. My main picks at Ceres are part of the Ceres Organics brand. I really like their beans and regularly use Ceres Adzuki and Borlotti beans. I'm also a recent convert to cooking with black beans, and Ceres' canned black beans are a great staple to have in the cupboard. While I do enjoy eating pre-prepared vegetarian meals a lot, I do like having Ceres products at home because they make me want to be a better cook; they make me want to make real whole foods in my kitchen and be conscious of what I eat. So a thanks for years of helping me eat better is definitely in order!

I took a quick browse today and am happy to report they have a lot of the staples -- organic veggies, fruit, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese etc. as well as a nice selection of pantry and health items (and dark chocolate kohu road ice cream which really, is all that matters). Also appeared to be slightly less expensive than some other organic options in the vicinity, so I'll definitely be back next time I'm passing through Mt Eden.

This then also extends on to the customers, they go out of their way to help people; AND to their competitors as well. Organic stores in Auckland have a rich interlinked history I recently discovered, including that this store is also owned by the guys in Grey Lynn, Harvest Whole foods. I admit that I am not around this area enough to call it my local, but I know several people that do. It has a great reputation and for good reason (even if not the 'cheapest' of organic stores). One of the particular draw cards about Huckleberries is that they sell meat, (as opposed to Harvest). This is great for those of us that are still carnivores but like to know about the sources of our animal consumption. And I can buy pork free snags here - yay! Recently I have been on the hunt for some ethical-eco black eyeliner, I noticed on their website that they stock some, which is great as I was almost ready to give up hope for anything local. The black pencil variety cost $31.00, and I will be making a trip there very soon for that indeed! These guys have a great website too and list the specials for those of you that may want to check it out before you go on in.

Not just food, there is a large range of natural supplements and organic skin care ranges and some of the product stocked I had not seen in these larger stores. They are more than a store though, as they offer naturopathy consultations here in the private consultation rooms at the back of the store. Often when you're not feeling the best, diet is to blame and the very knowledgeable staff will be able to set you right here. (and sell you stuff too). A friend of mine used this service a while back to help with her acne and was advised on what foods to eat and not eat and what other natural options were available to her besides the prescription medication that she was currently on at the time. She told me it helped. From memory I think they offer acupuncture too, so really this is more a total health and wellbeing store.

As suggested by their name, nutmeg is a feature spice in many of their dishes and adds a scrummy bite to all of their food. I strongly recommend their chickpea salad, though Nutmeg has a wide variety of meals available, including Malaysian and Japanese options. The cafe is quiet small inside and only has a few outside seats, however these are on Remuera Road so the ambience is wrecked a little bit. Despite this slight disappointment, the staff are incredibly sweet and tasty food more than makes up for it.
