At the time of writing, Parklands Fruit & Vege are closed for two weeks to renovate their shop…read more Because they are such awesome people they have made little flyers to put in the bags to let everyone know. I know my household is not the only one who will miss them but they do get mad busy sometimes so I imagine their flash new shop will be worth the wait. The thing I love about this place is mainly the fact that the family that run it are so friendly and hardworking. I also know that anything I buy from here will be good - if it's not perfectly fresh and tasty, they don't sell it. Everyone has had those times with the bad bag of kiwifruit or floury apples or whatever, but if that happened here they would be so embarrassed and no doubt give you your money back. It's that kind of place; they CARE. The pricing is excellent and I've seen them help people carry their stuff to the car, give free pieces of fruit to cute littlies and genuinely be a cornerstone to the Balmoral community - it's like the pub for busy mums; if I haven't seen someone in a while, odds are I will run into them here.

This fruit shop would have to be the best fruit shop I've ever shopped at. The service there is…read moreimpeccable. The staff are all family based and each person greets you with a smile when you enter the store. Every time I go there, I am never disappointed. The fruit and vegetables there are always fresh and I can always trust that what I buy is of top quality. Everything there is top quality. Everything from the service, to the products is top notch. This shop has been here since I was a kid. It is one of the only establishments that make Balmoral what it is. Incredibly fresh fruit and a lively store run by a lovely family.

This little Asian greengrocers has become my go-to fruit and vege shop on the shore. I tend to do…read moremy weekly shop at the Pak n Save across the road so this is a convenient detour for its bargain pricing and selection of Asian groceries. The prices are super cheap, much lower than you'll find in a supermarket. Yes, the produce is sometimes a little older or less fresh but you can always find what you need and the added bonus is that they have more unusual Asian vegetables like Japanese eggplant, Thai aubergines and a large selection of leafy Asian greens. The staff are friendly and it's always busy! Mad Butcher right next door for your cheap meats.

I popped into visit this organic farm while I was out for a run one day in the area and wanted to…read morecheck it out. I spoke to someone working out the front who directed me to the manager who was more than happy to talk to me about the farm and what they grow there. You can buy vegetables on-site or they also sell their produce at a farmers' market. He was preparing for a meeting at the time but offered to show me around the farm if I was able to come another time. As well as a range of organic vegetables they also have free range eggs and lamb. I have also since found out that Hamlin Farm provides work opportunities for people who have experienced mental illness and assisting their transition into the workforce. Awesome.

We've been going to this fruit & vege shop since I was a kid. It's got a great range for very…read morereasonable prices. Plus I see they now have an espresso machine in-store... so very fancy! As well as fresh, they also stock a small selection of dried goods - grains etc. I wouldn't drive across the bridge to go to Simply Fresh but if you live in the area, it's a no-brainer!

The selection here is really good , you can get everything from amaranth to zucchini …read more Staff are friendly . Although price wise can be up and down due to market availability and prices set . They have some noodles and dim sum products in their freezer section . Sometimes they have things you wouldn't expect like corn chips and fried tofu . The car park is RIDICULOUS !!! , building is on a slight bend so park next door at the paint shop .

This is my local Fruit World and a good place to shop for fruit and vegetables. The produce is…read morealways fresh and reasonably priced, with competition from next door's Farro and Countdown across the road. Several times I've asked if they have extra stock out the back of a particular item and staff have always been friendly and courteous. The layout is easy to navigate and the produce always stacked nicely on display. They also have a decent selection of nuts and dried fruits, as well as ethnic foods. I like to buy my wraps from here, and they have delicious fresh bagels and paninis for sale too. Also check out the frozen dumplings etc in the cool stores at the front of the shop!

This is a fruit and vegetable and Asian grocery store. It is big and the prices are usually pretty…read morecompetitive too. They sell a lot of more tropical fruits that the supermarkets do not, due largely to the fact that a large proportion of the Asian population shop here and these more unusual fruits are what they know and love. This therefore makes getting your fruit and vegetables more exciting. They also seem to have extremely large kumara here, absolutely huge. That aside, great store. They also stock Asian grocery items like noodles, miso, cookies, drinks, dried fruits, crackers and so on. Other things like Swiss chocolate, honey, Danny's pita bread, coconut butter and fortune cookies can be found here too. The staff are really polite, the quality of the produce is good and so are the prices. There is lots of parking on site too which is great because parking in Newmarket can be a bit of a hassle so if you're passing through give it a go.

I've taken to shopping here over Countdown for all my fresh fruit and veg - the prices are much better, and everything tastes great. Yesterday I bought apples almost as big as my head! I also buy stuff like coconut cream, curry pastes, canned vegetables and other stuff from here at good prices, and they have some drink fridges in the back with a weird and wonderful range of different Asian drinks. The staff here are always friendly and efficient, and the store itself is clean and well stocked.

Fruit City is in the same mall as my regular supermarket and I always feel mightily disappointed in…read moremyself if I ever laze into buying fruit and veges from the supermarket rather than the glorious Fruit City. Fruit City is regularly two-thirds to half the price of the supermarket, and the fruit and vege are always fresher and better quality. They have a full range of the aforementioned and often some things in stock that the supermarket doesn't have. They also stock a really good range of Asian greens, as well as eggs, spices and nuts, teas, biscuits, and heaps of frozen stuff, from meat and fish to heaps of different kinds of dumplings, berries, and pies. The service is really good, so I can't think of a negative thing to say about it. Except, and this is more of a general comment, what's with people wearing plastic gloves to both weigh and pack the veges, and take the cash?

Fresh N Save is located outside of Highbury Mall in Birkenhead; a fantastic Chinese supermarket…read morethat not only has a large range of cultural products, but also lots of fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs, a butcher and a even a great range of European chocolate. I usually pop in to Fresh n Save to grab Chinese cooking ingredients such as rice cooking wine, soy sauce, noodles, rice, green veggies, tofu, and herbs. The price is very competitive with the large supermarkets close by, and you can be guaranteed saving a few pennies here for sure. Lots to see and find in terms of international flavour, and is always a delight to expand my Asian cooking skills with the products I discover at Fresh N Save. The two checkout counters are usually busy, but try to shop during off peak hours, and you shall find you won't have to wait long at all.
