    Quinoa Frittera w/Beetroot, Carrot, Feta, Sweatened walnuts

    Nice location, simple yet elegant decor. Slightly slow service on a busy Saturday morning we visited. I ordered the Marinated Lamb Rump Open Sandwich, it arrived after a slight wait and was presented as you would expect from a modern cafe. First impressions seemed to suggest they had been slightly heavy handed with the tzatziki which was confirmed on my first bite, it was icy cold and overtook the flavours of the lamb rump. The lamb was supposed to be the star of the dish yet was left firmly waiting in the wings behind the tzatziki, lemon rocket and black bean couscous. It wasn't an unpleasant dish but neither was it a great one. Jam has potential, but I'm not sure after what I just ate I'll have the enthusiasm to try it again, especially knowing there are now probably a hundred fantastic cafes in Auckland left to try.

    3.5 stars*** This cafe is a favourite amongst the locals and is always heaving on the weekend. The food here is pretty delicious - I'm a huge fan of their chicken salad and their eggs benny with hash serves as a pretty decent hangover cure. They have also recently rebranded themselves and I must say their new logo is preeeetty cool! My only problem is that the service doesn't quite seem able to keep up with demand. To be fair the tables do turn over quickly but the last time we went we were sitting at a table for well over 15mins before someone came over and told us that there was a wait! We had no idea and already read the menu and decided what we wanted to order. Of course we were happy to wait but it would have been nice to have been told from the get go!

    I tried out Jam Cafe for a coffee one busy Friday morning, and loved the chance to people watch. This central Takapuna cafe is super popular and fills up with the working crew, retired or older patrons and even the young and hip, plus young families and little kids. Jam has a great cafe location, and super outdoor seating which is great with the warm and sunny burst of weather we have had of late. Also just below the cafe is great grassy area where you can grab your velvety smooth coffee to go and let your littilies have some play time. The menu is filled with delicious organic free range food that looks scrumptious to say the least, I look forward to returning for a full breakfast or brunch again soon. They have very reasonable pricing for a high standard of food. I would definitely recommend a meal at this Takapuna fave!

    Mediocre at best for sub-par service. Either over seasoned or not at all. Value for money? Not really.

    Counter service was slow. The busy atmosphere felt empty and uninviting. I eventually had to seat myself. Don't expect service to come to you quickly either. Food took a while to arrive, even from the cabinet. When it did finally arrive, it was mediocre at best. My salad was drowning in sweet chilli sauce. The chicken salad was dry and decorated with bland, unseasoned, sweet potato which resembled eating dry rice-paper. Over priced for mediocre menu and sub-par service. Would I recommend to friends? Only if I had no choice. Bummer and I'm a local.

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!

This is where you can find organic cotton tampons, non-chemical chapsticks, Comvita throat lozenges. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who don't think you're weird when you don't want a bag, and they have a loyalty card system. Conveniently located near a supermarket, post office, florist... it's a very handy place to stop in and pick up your naturally derived products. There's also a fruit and vege store owned by - I believe - the same people, just around the corner so you can also pick up your produce and free range eggs all in the same trip. Tip: Access/closer parking is easier if you drive in from the Highland Park Drive side, between the two Countdowns. (Yes, two Countdowns. It's ridiculous I know.)

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.

Finally, they almost always ask if you've found everything you need; don't be shy about saying if you haven't, as odds on they'll either find it for you, or offer to get it in for you. (Also, despite their address being on Dominion Rd, they don't actually have a frontage onto Dominion Road.

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.
