Located in Wellington, New Zealand, it was chock full of identifiable groceries for a visitor for…read morethe US, and at comparable prices. I really had a good time slowing walking the aisles identify items and see how much they were. There are two major supermarket chains in New Zealand: Foodstuffs (New World, Pak'n'Save, FourSquare) and Woolworths (Countdown). This was the second grocery store we visited on our cruise tour through NZ, and this one was significantly bigger. It pretty much had every item a traveler or local would need, and the prices were comparable to US prices (once accounting for the currency exchange). There were also quite a few Asian specific items, ones that I would only find in an Asian grocery store in the states. My brother was searching for very high UMF Honey and he found the place where it would be...but they were sold out. One thing to note was that they clearly kept their eggs in the unrefrigerated section.

The sushi was fresh made that day and tasted great and a very good price. We also had smoked salmon, there was a big selection of flavors as well as hummus - also a big selection of flavors. The only improvement would be a larger produce section including greens such as spinach or mixed lettuce ready to eat.

So the time I saved in checkout was more than spent wandering around the store looking for what I wanted. But overall a great place to pick up minor items like bottled water and snacks.

I bought some groceries for use while I was in Wellington, and also stocked up on the NZ-produced vegan butterscotch and caramel sauces to take home. I'm also now a huge fan of Stir (a NZ brand) instant almond milk turmeric chai. The owner was super friendly and even recommended that I check out the "Vegan Vault" evening market -- he annotated a map for me and sent me on my way and I was so happy to get that recommendation (see other Yelp review!). Keep up the good work!

My favourite is a sundried tomato cream cheese and vegetarian salad filling on an 'everything' bagel - a delicious bagel with onions, rock salt and other goodies. But you can also select pumpernickel bagels, onion bagels, or just boring old plain bagels. Not to mention the many incredible homemade cream cheeses, ranging from jalepino to walnut! The service is fast, the prices reasonable, the food delicious and the coffee fantastic. I'm in heaven. The central location makes it the perfect place to catch-up with friends or catch a bite to eat in between a shopping mission. And very convenient either by foot or by bus. The only downside is that it shuts at 4pm most days - it would be better if it closed later, so you could grab a bagel when the stores have closed! But oh well, I guess the staff need to take a rest sometime The other thing is that it can be pretty chilly in winter, especially if you're close to the door, which is propped open continuously. But all that aside, it's a brilliant place to grab a bite to eat. Doughy goodness! Oh - and if you fancy more naughtiness, check out the lemon pies. Wholly sinful - and who wants to be good anyway?

Anyone would have thought he was a criminal. First he was told that the voucher was not valid at this store (despite us pointing out it states for all stores) then he was told he would have to purchase something to redeem the voucher (which you don't). They begrudgingly served him in the end but gave him the most half arsed bagel I have ever seen. My son was incredibly embarrassed when the guy slammed the order down in the table and stormed off. Not professional at all an really poor form to do that to a 11yo who was pretty proud of winning the voucher. We have NEVER come across this at any other wholly bagels!!
