This is probably more a review for Lindt chocolate who have put together my two favourite things - coffee and chocolate !!! With the sweetness of Lindt chocolate and the toasty coffee flavour this is the bees knees ! But back to the supermarket . I find I have up and down moments here , sometimes they have a good selection and then not . I do like the spacious aisles and this Countdown can be somewhat less busy than the other one on Seddon St Money machine and lotto at the front entrance . Lots of car parks . The end .

Not as much range as Auckland stores particularly in the meat department. But I'm impressed with their dedicated gluten free stand near the eggs.

Don't know about the rest of the staff, but blonde girl at self-checkout during my trip certainly decided to treat us differently from all the customers.

How could I give a supermarket five stars?!…read more To start with, when I first walked in, I thought I'd got the wrong place. There are these stunning bright red chandeliers set over a large dining table just to the side of the main entrance. Then I realised this was just a rather different supermarket shopping experience. I initially popped in just because I was in the area and in a hurry - I have closer regular supermarket. But whenever I'm around Half Moon Bay or feel like a change in the drudgery of grocery shopping, I always head in here. It's not a big barn of a place, and is actually quite small as far as supermarkets go, but it's packed with everything you'd expect from even the giant-sized competitors. I can't say how nice the shopping experience is - it's quiet enough to actually think, and the sometimes the staff greet you as you walk the aisles..! And a bonus; the sign on the door says it's locally owned and operated.

This place is beautifully set out, with aisles comfortably big enough to accommodate 2 trolleys, and plenty of checkouts always open ready to help you. The butcher stocks the biggest scotch fillet steaks I've ever seen, along with rib roasts & T-bone steaks. They also make their own sausages. With a kick-ass deli, fresh fish counter & a great range of locally grown produce, you almost feel like you're shopping at a gourmet supermarket.

I love their pies here…read more All fillings are made on site along with pie pastry. I've tried most of the pies and they're all of them good. I wouldn't know if they've any vegetarian options though, I go for their meat/fleisch options. And they have a healthy dose of vegetables in them like carrot and potatoes. More often lately, I've been tucking into their freshly baked muffins and custard pies. If you're looking for classic kiwi cuisine, this is one of your better options with cream doughnuts, custard pies, pies, caramel slice filled rolls, sandwiches and an assortment of cakes. Lunchtime here is its peak period of the day with many tradespeople and local workers stopping in for some of their tasty goodness. Unfortunately though, if you're after barista made coffee, there is none here. But there's the milkshake made with real ice cream. That's the shizzle.

So for me to give 5 stars for a pie is a big deal right ! Yes ,yes it is …read more You know to be honest ,I didn't even want to write about this place as its a well kept local secret and who wants every man and his dog to know about a secret pie place . Butttttt ..... On a rainy day a pie is just what you need to keep you going in the dreary wet weather and this place ticks all the boxes !Flaky pastry with flavourful fillings need I say more ? I went for the smoked fish pie and it made me think of those bread case smoked fish mini pies you got from all NZ tea rooms circa 1985 ? Creamy and rich with a delicate fish flavour . They also have small mini savouries and sammies ( kept under a wet towel just like at a bowling club !) there are cream filled donuts which I've heard amazing things about . A return visit is on !

If you're conscious about your food supply, methods of farming and humane treatment of animals in…read moreyour food supply, then this is the place to go for your locally grown, natural and organic fruit and produce. I popped in for a look and ended up buying grocery items I hadn't been planning on buying. The selection of food and produce is vast. If you're a newbie to Farro, you'd best apportion a good half hour to peruse the selection of goodies. This isn't a supermarket with a layout more about restocking and cleaning. This is a celebration of the culinary delights, grouped together pragmatically. Unfortunately I was in a hurry and was unable to decipher their layout matrix. Prices are a dollar or two more than what you would pay for the same item at Pak n Save. Yet, they have all of the hard to find organic, gluten free and other specialty dietary requirements necessitated by my two anaphylactic children. I used to shop at this location when it was Huckleberry Farms. But it is just so much better now that it is Farro Fresh. An absolute delight.

Please always check and take the receipt if you shop there. Staff are not wearing masks properly and very rude to the customers who is wearing face covering.
