When I was working on Queen Street I always came here for fresh fruit salads, fruit, raw nuts and drinks. It is like a hybrid of a grocer, dairy and a fruit store. You can even buy beer and wine here. These guys also had Marmite in stock long after it had left the shelves of supermarkets so I kept it to myself and came here for my Marmite fix. Absolutely the best convenience store in the CBD without a doubt. They even have a shoe shine machine!

This is particularly pleasant when a quick trip to the dairy can be made even easier. Offering a range of services including a post shop and post boxes, Lotto ticket sales, dairy and partial grocer, the store is of the utmost convenience. It is ideal when you have forgotten those last few ingredients for dinner and need to pop down the road. Parking is usually fairly easy although walking can be better for you, particularly if late in the day.

There are a lot of convenience stores in Auckland, and Wakefield Street is home to a fair whack of…read morethem. But just because something is one of many other options doesn't mean it can't stand out head and shoulders above the rest. Star Convenience is one of these things - from the outside, a bland run of the mill chain convenience store. But they have a difference. You can get 5 naan breads for 1.90 here. You can use these for anything- pizzas, herb bread, you rule the roost on this one. If you live in the area, head on up to Star Convenience for a cheap feed.

Quality/Quantity - Cool small supermarket, great place for snacks…read more Chip flavors were very interesting, see pictures. So many I wanted to try; it took everything in me to NOT buy one of each! Also checked out the local candies, cookies, etc. And of course the beers! Very good selection for a small format supermarket. Atmosphere - Good find. Everything I need in a supermarket/convenience store! Open 7 days a week from 7am or 9:30am to 8:30pm or 9pm. Catering available. Free wifi, I did not use it. Online shopping available. This brand is ONLY in NZ and proud of it. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable. A little on the higher side, but that is the cost for convenience. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1922 and with 300+ locations; are you a franchise, co-op business model?

Ended up buying some mandarins, some chips, a meat pie, chicken, and water. This place is very convenient and prices are okay. On another note, I had the pleasure of watching a security guard confront a shoplifting customer which spiraled into a full blown fight. Hate to see that but I guess they got crumbs all over the world... not just in the United States. And mad credit to the security guard who showed extreme restraint until that crumb actually put hands on him.

What I liked most about it was the range of fresh bread - baguettes, ciabattas, vienna loaves. They were all really fresh and crusty when you cut into them. The Pandoro bakery down the road also does excellent fresh bread but this place was on the doorstep and I couldn't be arsed walking the extra distance. I also use to buy milk here but at nearly $5 for a two litre bottle, we are talking Parnell prices here. There's a good range of the sort of food available at most dairys but there's some unusual and quirky stuff here too which always made it a pleasure to shop here.

This is actually quite a big dairy.

There is so much variety by way of drinks here it is crazy, they even sell Snapple and a lot of milk and iced teas from foreign places. They also have sushi, pies (or course), muffins and things like taro buns. Hot water is available too for the noodles, there is no additional water charge and Munchy Mart also supply straws, forks and chopsticks! On a more healthy note there is a large fruit bin up the front with the generic apples and bananas and another bin for specials, often 2 for deals which is great for loan burdened students! Just check the expiration dates first. The other great thing is the check out operation, they've got it sorted, the lines get really long (especially between lectures) but the efficient staff and someone to manage the customer line mean transactions go through quicker so you can get munch out of mart quicker.
