Sweet-tooths unite and head to Lick!…read more An ice cream and sweet shop now that is heaven on a plate for people who love sugary treats. A word of caution to take it all in moderation of course. Speaking of moderation, how is this possible with the yummy range of ice cream flavours on offer! This is really an ice cream parlour so of course they do classic shakes like lime or chocolate to the decadent premium shakes like rocky road or pineapple lump - warning may be addictive! Plus they do cream soda floats. They have lots of lollies and sweets as the shop name suggests. My American is going to just love their US specialty candy like Twinkies, Wonka Theatre Boxes and Pop-Tarts. Don't worry if you are dairy free, gluten free or want vegetarian sweets because this store even has a range of items in these categories. Check out their online store.

Though this is true, it wasn't until I told my boyfriend I'd been there that I learnt it is famous. Having won awards for their quality meat and presentation, as well as peoples' choice awards including the 'Gold Plate' in 2012, The Falls is known to the majority of West Aucklanders as the best place to eat. I'm not sure if I would go quite so far as to say it was my best meal ever, but I did really enjoy my experience at The Falls. I sat out in the newly renovated courtyard with a pot of tea and a ham cheese and tomato omelette. The ambience was lovely, the wait-service was brilliant and the food was delicious - what more could you ask for? Tip: The Falls also caters for large groups and business meetings, and though I cannot say this from personal experience, I believe they would do a brilliant job at hosting such events and can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the food or the service.

This was an intimate space for our celebration and we were well looked after. Again the food - a three course meal - was outstanding and the wine list excellent. The Falls do great coffee any time of day, take out in the mornings but make sure to pay for parking in the adjacent 'pay and display' area as you would not want to be stung with a ticket like I was!

My Fiance and I are planning a wedding in New Zealand, but we live in the Marshall Islands. Not an…read moreeasy task. With only two days to find a suit and a cake, we stumbled about the first day trying to get samples of wedding cakes and cupcakes from local bakeries. No such luck. Many places required an advanced reservation or didn't have any samples of the cakes/cupcakes they had extravagantly displayed. Personally, I'm not comfortable shelling out $500+ on a wedding cake before I taste it. Then again, the cake is VERY important to me since I am a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to desserts. I also didn't have the option of traveling back several thousand miles to attend a wedding show. So after hitting several dead ends on the first day, I got on the phone and started making calls around town to try to make appointments for the next day. I called Cake Couture and even though they don't normally do cake consultations on Friday, they said they could fit us in if we were there at 9:15am, sharp! We arrived a bit early and were greeted by Thea. I was instantly put at ease. Looking at the website I could see the intricate detail and craftsmanship of her craft. This is a woman who takes much pride in her work, and it shows. As I flipped through the photos I recognized from the website, I was amazed to learn that some of the embellishments that I thought were real flowers were in fact hand crafted icing flowers. ***Mind Blown*** We continued on to two other cake shops today. One couldn't even compare, the other had several good flavors that I think we would be happy with, but nothing that blew us away like the flavor and texture of the cake we had at Cake Couture. Add to that the incredible craftsmanship of the embellishments, and it's a combination that is tough to beat. Coming from Los Angeles, I see lots of beauty with little substance. It is nice to come across a business that not only prides itself on the outside appearance, but puts just as much care and consideration into those bits you can't see! We haven't made a final decision yet, but after revisiting some of the samples from our outing today, it is quite clear to us that Cake Couture is above and beyond the competition. Thank you, Thea, for making our first tasting a memorable one!

These guys have an A food hygiene rating and that's saying a lot!…read moreThis is why I chose Jimmy Bakery when I was in the area for business to pick up some bakery items. They are up and running early, before the crack of dawn in fact, so all of their filled rolls are fresh as daily as are the sandwiches in the counter drawers. Pie connoisseurs won't be disappointed because there is a big range here and new is their vegetarian pie. They have really good bakery bread buns and the usual bread loaves. Sweet tooths will be well satisfied in this bakery because they have the brownies, the lamingtons, the cream cakes, my family were a little bit spoilt when I got home. The bread buns didn't get too hard or tough next morning, or even the morning thereafter when I made them into rolls for school lunches.

This is a decent bakery with a fair bit to offer…read more When you walk in you immediately see a big range of pastries, baked breads, pies and also little sweet treats, like cakes, muffins and such. The flavours aren't particularly amazing, so they don't stand out so much, but the food here is enjoyable and made fresh (I believe). Defiantly pop in if you are around the area, for a bit of a lunch or brunch snack.
