Located in the corner shops of Claude Road and Alfriston Road, it's quite easy to find if you know the area, or even if you don't know the area you can't miss the little block of shops where it's located. They have a large selection of your traditional sweets you would find in a bakery, the likes of lolly cake and custard squares, also homemade pies and fresh filled roles and sandwiches. We ended up getting the chicken avocado filled roles. You can't really go past a good old chicken and avo role. This meal was enjoyable and I would go back if I needed something quick and easy when in the area. However as mentioned above, this is your standard bakery. I personally didn't think there was anything unique that stood them apart from other bakeries.

The Alfriston Road Bakery is just awesome. It's very small so if its busy when you're there it gets…read morecrowded wen theres five customers there. However, that's just a minor detail- this is an excellent local bakery. They do tasty ham and cheese pizza buns that are always a must when I go there and their lamingtons are quality. Their pies are the icing on top though. I don't have pies often but if i do this is one place I'd try and get to. Whether its mince and cheese (my favourite) or bacon and egg, the pastry is always great and the filling is even better! Their pies run out fast during weekdays so expect disappointment if you're heading there in the afternoon! The bread they do here is well-priced and they do your usual french sticks and bread loaves. The family that runs this place is always friendly and its always good to see smiling faces when picking up a sweet snack or a quick breakfast bite here.

Tested it with a knife to see how hard it was and the pieces are like pebbles and need a meat cleaver to split them. Took cat to vet for extraction under general anaesthetic- cost $750. I'm fuming. Cat won't go near the stuff now even chopped into little pieces and soaked in water and I don't blame him

Starting at 10 am, finishing at 2 pm. They can be found on South Titirangi Road, in Titirangi in the war memorial hall and car park. Sometimes you may need to park down the road and walk a bit up the hill, good exercise though, and enjoyable as it is in such a pretty suburb, just like Tassie in some ways. The market is like a permanent fundraiser for the local Steiner school, more information about how it all works can be found on their website www.titirangisteinerschool.nz or by phoning Tanya on (09) 814 1177. I personally like to shop there for all the arts and crafts, they have some really great stuff to give as gifts. The coffee shops nearby on the main street up the hill are pretty much always packed to the rafters but well worth popping into for a bite and drink too, hence the reason they are so busy!

The Pakuranga Night Market is the newest addition to the Auckland Night Market roster, operating on…read moreFriday nights from the Hunters Plaza carpark. Whilst there's lots of the same stalls at all three markets, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others, and that's purely because of its location: pushed into a far corner of the carpark, on humid summer nights it's pretty tough going there without any ventilation, natural light or through breeze! It would be great to lose some of the carparks and move the whole market over towards the entrance so that at least some air can circulate. Saying that, the food is good, as you'd expect, and the night I went there was a cover band playing mostly blues tunes, which was a good addition to the experience.

However if you head along Beach Valley Road, watch out for the old timer Piha RSA. This historic RSA has been here since the early 1940's, so as you can imagine you feel a real sense of the past still lingers. A perfect spot to pop in for a pint or two, and sit out upon the wooden deck that gazes out over grass, marsh and native nz plants towards Lions Rock. This is just a very private and special place. If you are visiting on the weekends, you will be shoulder to shoulder most afternoons as it fills up with patrons who arrive to eat at the onsite Morepork Kitchen. Another secret reason I love coming to Piha RSA, is because of the delicious kiwi fare that Morepork provides. Changing the recipes with the seasons, and filling the gap I gain from being active at Piha. I always feel very at home here, and the locals make me feel welcome.
