After trying kiwi yo and really enjoying it, I was eager to try this new DIY yoghurt place that…read moreopened up in Mission Bay also. I chose my flavours and toppings etc etc and when it was weighed I was quite surprised at how expensive it was considering my boyfriend and I both got really small portions. Anyway when I tried it I was SO disappointed, the flavours were horrible it tasted exactly like cat wee and that is not an exaggeration. I couldn't even finish mine, my boyfriend also said his did not taste amazing either. We were so gutted because we had been excited to try this place but I know that I definitely won't be coming here again.

Grabbed some ice cream on a hot summer day and let me just say this place had THE best mint…read morechocolate chip ice cream I have ever had in my life. It was so creamy and minty and the chocolate was incredible. Instead of using chocolate chips, this ice cream used chocolate flakes, so they melted beautifully in my mouth with each bite. I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a sweet treat on a hot day, you'll be happy you did :)

However, the service here is not so great, when we were getting the scoops they didn't give us very much and I saw that the guy scooping the ice cream purposely restart his scoop because he thought he was giving us too much...

Village Co-Op is a family run store located just off Tamaki Drive in St Heliers. They serve coffee,…read morebreads, deli items and best of all, ice cream. They make their own ice cream on site with flavours such as Passionfruit Pavlova, Espresso and Caramel Fudge, Lemon Curd and Rewa Rewa Honey. I highly recommend the Passionfruit Pavlova - absolutely delicious and comes with actual meringue! I love that you also get to choose what you want on top of your ice cream - either a gingerbread man cookie or dark chocolate sticks - both are yummy! I suggest coming here on a nice hot summers day for an ice cream and then relax on St Heliers Beach - absolute bliss!

However if you are up for some really good coffee and in house made ice cream, do walk down this side street. The have some unique ice cream flavors such as licorice. There is no sitting but on a lovely day you can just walk down to the beach or benches along the water.

A wonderful place to enjoy beautiful Mission Bay beach area. Grateful that many restaurants and…read moreshops in this area are open on Christmas Day. We walked here from Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. Staff was friendly, and the Waitemata seafood & mixed summer platter was a popular splurging option for many tables during Christmas Day lunch. The platter was good but wish it had more variety of seafood (there were too many mussels...). It is a nice platter to share for families with children because it had fried chicken, calamari, battered fish and bratwurst. After lunch, you can stop at Movenpick downstairs for some ice cream.

They have a lot of promotional signs but just be warned that it does require you to buy a drink. If…read moreyou end up purchasing an alcoholic drink, then what you save ends up being similar to the price you save (in a sense you get a free drink). If you planned to drink then it's perfect! The food is reasonably priced and the food is tasty. I'm not sure why the reviews are on the lower half, but I had reasonably priced food, friendly staff, and a good tasting meal. The different types of mussels on the mixed platter were tasty. On a promotional mussels day, the 1kg steamed mussels were a great price though I preferred the mixed platter more. The chicken brie burger was also tasty but nothing amazing. The eating area is on the second floor and if you get a window seat you can a view of the beach. On the inside it has a bar-like feel. The staff were friendly and were relatively attentive. Enjoyed the food and enjoyed the friendly staff. Enjoyed it!

Spectacular view with delicious breakfast and tasty hot coffee. What more could you ask for?…read more Parking isn't too bad--you have access to the shopping strip just a short walking distance away (if you feel like walking off the food baby you're guaranteed to get). The restaurant presents itself as both cafe and eatery, with a section suited for the grab-and-go clientele as well as those more interested in a relaxing breakfast. We fell into the latter category. Our coffee came out wonderfully presented and piping hot. The breakfast came soon after. Smashed avacado on toast and a fantastically heavy dish with potatoes, eggs, market fish, lightly sprinkled with greens. Add a fruit smoothie to top it off with a bit of sweetness, and you're set for a great day.

I love that the food is always interesting and regularly changes. It's a shame they don't label so be prepared to ask about every item before ordering.

A great (former) local dairy. The family of staff are always friendly and up for a chat (mainly…read moreabout how bad my hangover is). This is particularly pleasant when a quick trip to the dairy can be made even easier. Offering a range of services including a post shop and post boxes, Lotto ticket sales, dairy and partial grocer, the store is of the utmost convenience. It is ideal when you have forgotten those last few ingredients for dinner and need to pop down the road. Parking is usually fairly easy although walking can be better for you, particularly if late in the day.

Wow. In the heart of Mission Bay I would never have expected such bad customer service…read more No, this wasn't just a lack of common etiquette but more an absolute departure from any semblance of customer service. I spoke with a young male who took my order. No problems there. I did ask for tomato sauce as my son can't eat aioli as he has severe egg allergies which I explained. The burger took a while to arrive and I was given aioli for my fries. I took this back inside and swapped it for tomato sauce. For me, I've eaten predominantly at the Pukekohe Burger Fuel. But I also eat at the Ponsonby Burger Fuel. And I've never been disappointed any time I've dined in or taken out. But this vege burger that had arrived was cold. The cheese on the vege pattie hadn't even melted. Yes it was tasty, but so is grass with the right sauce. On the other hand, the fries were great. Hot crispy, perfectly seasoned with salt and not too much. I ate the burger without complaint because I was talking with my family who were having a large meal at the neighbouring eatery, Hook Line and Sinker. When the seafood platters arrived for my family I suffered pangs of food envy. But politely declined their offers for me to partake of their bounteous fare. Having quaffed my burger and fries I wanted something sweet. So I went into Burger Fuel. I walked in and had to wait as another cashier was stamping the Burger Fuel paper bags. She looked at me and continued stamping in no hurry as if I wasn't there. When she felt that she had stamped enough, she passed them over the counter and wandered over to the cash register. After ordering a berry ice cream dessert, I waited outside for 20 mins. When the cashier brought it outside she put the container in the table and dropped two spoons beside it. Having waited this long, I could see that the ice cream had melted and the dessert looked like crap. Again, I thought I'll give it a go. Terrible. Couldn't even finish it. I wouldn't have done this review had it not have been for the combination of bad food and even worse service. If you're after Burger Fuel in Mission Bay, drive to Ponsonby Burger Fuel. It's better. If you're after Ice Cream in Mission Bay. Go to Mõvenpick which is a few doors up from Burger Fuel. Trust me, I'm usually the Baron at Mõvenpick Mission Bay. Your money and your time is certainly wasted at Burger Fuel Mission Bay.

When it comes to hamburgers, it seems only America can do it RIGHT!! Unfortunately, Burger Fuel is…read morenot the best option for hamburgers whatsoever. Being an American and a proud fan of burgers, I am VERY discriminating about how my burgers are served, with what condiments, and the availability of traditional side orders like fries (or "chips" as they're known in the Oceana region of the globe) or onion rings. Burger Fuel instead attempts to serve burgers differently, and this particular branch in Mission Bay has quite an unfriendly and aloof staff. They don't even know what yellow mustard is, a condiment required for me in my burgers, yet they easily get irritated with you if you're attempting to change your burger to what you wish. Once more, even having a very basic burger option is not on their menu; you just have to improvise with ordering, say, their 1/3 Pounder Burger and asking for certain ingredients no be included. Beetroot in a burger - REALLY?!? YUCK!! But the best option I can do is NEVER go to another Burger Fuel again! To me, this chain is an insult to hamburgers, and only makes me yearn that In N Out were located on New Zealand soil!
