The store layout was organized and aesthetically pleasing. But what really stood out was the customer service--everyone we interacted with was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It really made our shopping experience feel special. We will return here if we ever visit Auckland again, and we highly recommend!

Even through I now live about a ten minute drive from this place, I often make a trip there for my…read moreweekly shop; it has a super range of bulk items like flour and the like including lots of organic and gluten free options, as well as the following: - a small but completely adequate range of Middle Eastern, Indian, and Japanese ingredients - spices - dried fruits (I have to stop myself buying their dried nectarines as they tend to go in about three minutes). - cereals, including their own muesli -herbal teas They also stock quite a lot of items you'll need if you're making your own cleaners or the like, such as washing soda and borax, as well as bulk bin detergent/cleaner/shampoo etc. Prices are also very good; mostly cheaper than going to one of those supermarkets. 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. To find them turn into Walters Road, then turn into the driveway that points to the Wendy's drive through, and they're just tucked in to your right).

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. The ambiance is enhanced by the huge variation of people who shop here. Broad cross section of the community. I would hazard a guess, if you know this place you will come back repeatedly. If you don't know this place pay it a visit.

More organic fruits and veggies within my (bicycle radius) reach! Woooooooot…read more Huckleberry Esplanade Road is the most recent addition to the Huckleberry Farm family of shops, this one being a 'convenience store' layout i.e. smaller but with all the basics. 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.

Parking was an issue. Great variety of vendors. My first day in NZ (flew in overnight) and when I passed the donut vendor, she was taking pictures of her wares and I remarked, what a good idea, they're lovely and I took a picture too, and slavered over them a bit more, but thought about the calories and started to move on, and an old man called me out saying you shouldn't take a picture unless you're going to buy something. I wasn't sure how to respond, but the vendor was super nice and said no worries. So, the picture is attached here to make you salivate too! :-)

It's such a cool store, they have sooooo many brands of water, I didn't even know there were so many. They have brands from all over the world but I really love that the water made right here in little old NZ hold a strong place in terms of quality and taste. Something I really love about this store is that they provide a selection of low sodium waters, sodium is something I always try to cut down on because we get so much of it in our food. Sparkling water tends to have quite a bit of sodium in it which I hate because I love it so when I saw that Aquadeli provides low sodium options I was absolutely thrilled. I have been looking for a brand of water called Voss water and haven't been able to find it anywhere so I rang Aquadeli and they helpful guy there explained that they have tried to bring it in themselves but weren't able to so no where else in NZ would stock it either. While this was disappointing it was also really useful because now I don't have to waste my time searching for it. If you are after any type of water you have to come here, they are extremely knowledgable and are keen to help.

Aquadeli have it all, waters from France, Fiji, Samoa, Italy, Spain and right here in New Zealand, like Waiwera, Antipodes and SOH2O.

Do it with limited edition glass bottled water from Evian featuring artwork from collaborations with the likes of Paul Smith and Diane Von Furstenberg. There are full nutritional profiles for each water, the mineral content and level of carbonation if that interests you too. If you are really into water then they sell books on it too, really an awesome store to check out just for the hell of it.
