When I was working on Queen Street I always came here for fresh fruit salads, fruit, raw nuts and drinks. It is like a hybrid of a grocer, dairy and a fruit store. You can even buy beer and wine here. These guys also had Marmite in stock long after it had left the shelves of supermarkets so I kept it to myself and came here for my Marmite fix. Absolutely the best convenience store in the CBD without a doubt. They even have a shoe shine machine!

Star Convenience is one of these things - from the outside, a bland run of the mill chain convenience store. But they have a difference. You can get 5 naan breads for 1.90 here. You can use these for anything- pizzas, herb bread, you rule the roost on this one. If you live in the area, head on up to Star Convenience for a cheap feed.

Food lovers rejoice!!!…read more If you enjoy cooking, baking, complimentary food samples, or just gourmet food in general, then get to Sabato now! Located on Normanby Road (very near to Citta Design and BLOC), this store is one of a kind! I could literally spend hours walking through Sabato tasting every olive oil, balsamic, chorizo, cheese, chocolate and dipping sauce imaginable! While some of the products are sourced around New Zealand, you will mostly find products from Spain, Italy and of course, France (thank you France for the best chocolate in the world aka Valrhona!). As well as selling amazing food products, you can also buy cookbooks, kitchen supplies and they also hold cooking classes and cheese classes. I haven't been to one yet, but they always sell out! Highly recommend Sabato for all you foodies out there, it will seriously become your new favourite weekend activity (and you won't even need lunch!)

Sabato stock gourmet, rare and exotic foods - foreign oils, spices, herbs, sauces, pastas, nuts, grains, baking goods, olives, vinegars, preserves - my mouth is watering just thinking about all the goodies this store has to offer. Unlike similar stores such as Nosh, Sabato does not stock much fresh produce or meat, but their range of cheeses, preserves, hams, chorizos and confectionary make this store a great place to find wee treats and things for special occasions and/or dinner parties. Though predominantly a food store, Sabato also have a range of kitchen supplies and utensils for sale, as well as stocking cookbooks, hampers and information regarding local cooking classes. A great gluten free range is also on hand at Sabato. Bonus: Sabato also offer you free coffee and have many of their products open for taste testing while you shop - this is a definite bonus, especially because though undoubtedly delicious, quality products, Sabato is quite pricey, so it's nice to be able to try items before you buy them.

Brilliant for a student who's always late to the bus and never has change! I'd always stop here to get some change and it never failed me. The store itself isn't very flash at all. There's a lot of stuff everywhere and it's not the cleanest of places but totally does the job. There's ice creams, lollies, gum, and other handy items that you need. It's a good place to stop if you need something quickly and can't face going to the supermarket. The guy on the till was always really nice and friendly and didn't seem to mind that I only came here to buy a pack of gum and get cash out. Good on ya mate.

The service was insane. So friendly.

It is a medium sized dairy but had heaps of stock, and it always seemed to be open super late too, which was helpful. The guys behind the counter were always really nice, but kept to themselves watching tv or reading the paper until you were ready to buy whatever crap brought you there. They do Lotto here too, which is great. They give you a big loud "bye bye" when you leave too, which I like.

There is so much variety by way of drinks here it is crazy, they even sell Snapple and a lot of milk and iced teas from foreign places. They also have sushi, pies (or course), muffins and things like taro buns. Hot water is available too for the noodles, there is no additional water charge and Munchy Mart also supply straws, forks and chopsticks! On a more healthy note there is a large fruit bin up the front with the generic apples and bananas and another bin for specials, often 2 for deals which is great for loan burdened students! Just check the expiration dates first. The other great thing is the check out operation, they've got it sorted, the lines get really long (especially between lectures) but the efficient staff and someone to manage the customer line mean transactions go through quicker so you can get munch out of mart quicker.
