    It seems Auckland's got a thing for bagels at the moment and Goodness Gracious is the latest addition. Yes, they serve other things - a couple of salads and other bit and pieces - but bagels are the focus and they do them bloody well. Their 'Vege Bagel' with avo, haloumi, red pepper pesto, rocket , tomato, Tabasco and aioli, was a glorious combination of fillings and the sauce to filling ratio was spot on. I loved the addition of the Tabasco for a bit of heat. I could of done with one more slice of halloumi and I have to admit, I prefer the Best Ugly Bagels over the New York Bagels but still, all in all a legit lunch option. It also must be mentioned that this place has a really cool vibe from the laid-back hip hop beats to the concrete floors, white tiles and easy going staff. Oh and don't forget to check out their juices and smoothies.

    This place is amazing! Really cool fitout of a tiny space but they've really made the most of it, and if you cant nab a table get takeaway as these bagels are delicious! Great menu, I don't think you could order badly, and if your stumped go for the sampler - 3 little bagels, and you can choose which ones. Good coffee and delicious smoothies, you have to try this place!

    Yum yum yum! Even though this place is relatively new it is certainly popular, only a small amount of seating inside and some bench tables outside well worth the wait though! Just really good kiwi style bagels, all the fillings sound delish, we ordered the BLAT, Salmon, Veg and an eggs ben and all were scrummy! The salmon was my fav and the veg (anything with halomui in I love though) Great coffee and friendly staff, perfect place if you want a light breakfast!

    Veggies omlette, with a toasted sesame bagles on the side.

    I had read this was a new hot spot in town and my husband and I decided to give it a try! We went…read morefor an early dinner and there was 1 other table seated. Our server was super sweet and attentive until we placed our orders. We never saw her again, no mention she was leaving for the day (I could see her inside on her cell phone and changed with a backpack). Our food was delivered and the other server didn't seem to notice (or care) that our water glasses were empty, as I found out that she too were on her way out of work. We didn't get water refills until the check came, in which is was a third server and then it took probably 2mins for her to run our card because she was busy setting tables and chatting with coworkers. The food here was amazing and filling- large portions, but the Mac n cheese was disappointing. I would give this 4 stars, but due to the fact that the servers are more interested in going home and chatting with coworkers than taking care of their guests (at one point we were the only table in the whole place and still couldn't get a water refill), this place is getting only 2 stars. It's got potential if it gets new staff.

    We had great service. We ordered a dozen oysters and when we asked for something different than the…read morejalapeños, our server ran down the street to get sauce that they use at their sister restaurant. We had no idea that the request would be so difficult to fill, but were quite impressed with the lengths she took to make our meal enjoyable. The rest of our meal was delicious food & great service. I read the previous reviews. I would recommend that give this place another chance.
