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!

But just because something is one of many other options doesn't mean it can't stand out head and shoulders above the rest. 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.

Quality/Quantity - Cool small supermarket, great place for snacks…read more Chip flavors were very interesting, see pictures. So many I wanted to try; it took everything in me to NOT buy one of each! Also checked out the local candies, cookies, etc. And of course the beers! Very good selection for a small format supermarket. Atmosphere - Good find. Everything I need in a supermarket/convenience store! Open 7 days a week from 7am or 9:30am to 8:30pm or 9pm. Catering available. Free wifi, I did not use it. Online shopping available. This brand is ONLY in NZ and proud of it. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable. A little on the higher side, but that is the cost for convenience. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1922 and with 300+ locations; are you a franchise, co-op business model?

Ended up buying some mandarins, some chips, a meat pie, chicken, and water. This place is very convenient and prices are okay. On another note, I had the pleasure of watching a security guard confront a shoplifting customer which spiraled into a full blown fight. Hate to see that but I guess they got crumbs all over the world... not just in the United States. And mad credit to the security guard who showed extreme restraint until that crumb actually put hands on him.

I was very pleased with this establishment. The proprietor was very kind and talkative.read more

There are two things that are awesome about this convenience store and two things only. Well apart…read morefrom the fact that it's a pretty convenient convenience store, and the prices here are fairly good, but I specifically come here to purchase two items. One of these is Dr. Pepper and cherry Dr. Pepper. If you haven't tried either of these drinks then I strongly suggest that you take a look at your life and change everything about it. The second thing that they sell here are samosas (chicken, vege, and butter chicken); and really cheap samosas too. You'll find them in the pie warmer, and god damn they are good. Their goodness is bolstered by the fact that they are like $1 or something ridiculous. Samosas and Dr. Pepper; that's all anyone ever needs.

I grabbed 6-7 of them & they only costed $3.5 NZ dollars. For a fruit that has so many health benefits, it is a bargain. Feijoa taste like a combination of pineapple, Apple and mint. It is low glycemic, high fiber, potassium, lots of vitamin C, B, and prevents colon cancer, defense again depression and infection. It is soft inside, you eat it by cutting it in half and scope out the meat inside, like eating kiwi. Totally in love with Feijoa!

This appears to be one of the more busy locations, as it's between SkyCity and Queens St. But for…read morethe most part it serves it purpose. It's pretty much like an expanded version of a convenience store. You can get every type of meat, tons of sausage variety, plenty of cheeses to choose from. Chips galore, pasta, canned tuna, you name it and they've probably got it. They've got a deli section, a small bakery, and fresh fruit and vegetables. Things worth buying here: The lamb sausage, Bluebird Chicken potato chips, and one of the best chocolate milks ever made, the Puhoi Valley Real Belgian Chocolate Milk. So freakin' good, you gotta try it! They've even got different KitKats, and a wide variety of Whitman's chocolates to give away as souvenirs. Other than that, the prices seem reasonable, but I'd rather get my sweets and alcohol over at a New World location.

Smile Supermarket is a great little convenience store right by the Vodafone building. It's awesome…read moreif you forget your lunch or need a snack while you're working. But the really cool thing about this store is they sell hot (temperature-wise) Indian meals for lunch. You can get all the usuals; butter chicken, tikka masala, samosas etc and they're not too spicy either. It's a pretty decent lunch for $10 and they taste really good too. I also really like how clean the place is. A lot of corner dairies I've been into are pretty dusty and some of the merchandise looks like it's been there for years but the Smile Supermarket is always clean and tidy.

I tried to get in with my son in stroller and accidentally hit the magazine rack then some of the magazines fall off. I said I am very sorry about 5 times and started to collect and replace them but the lady at the counter did not even say it was ok neither offered to help. However I wanted to buy something worth of $7.5. I tried to pay by my card and its declined. I was shocked as I definetely know there are good balance of money. I asked her if I can try again and it didnt work. I didnot have any cash on me. Also I try to check my account online to see what was wrong but internet was so slow. Eventually my battery was very low. Once something goes wrong evertying goes wrong and I was standing there frustrating to convince her that I wasnot broke or homeless as she put me down badly by looking. All this time I was there she didnot even say it was okay or it happens but mean looks maybe thinking I was stealer. This may sound exceguray but I am very sensitive person and myself always try to be nice with people so what happend to me was too much and I couldnot handle the situation. Anyway I called my husband to quickly bring me some cash so I can pay it he was 2 minutes away anyway in the main time she was hiding the staff I wanted buy as I might have stolen it. Before I leave the shop I wanted to tell her how she made me feel like. I have spoken for 5 minutes and was crying only word she said back was ' yeap' . No sorry nothing at all.At the end she was absouletely stone heart person and not nice at all. I wouldnot want to meet this kind of person in anywhere in my life again.

Albany Superette is a family-owned and run shop and no matter which one of them is on duty they all says hi and smile and laugh and chat as though its going out of fashion. Oh and they play classical music all the time! Kind of strange but a quirky touch - I quite like it. There's a bakery, a chemist, a cafe and an ATM all in the same complex so its a handy stop and right on Rosedale road too. Its a bit crammed but hey what Superette isn't.
