Always happy to buy my aftershave, eau de toilette and parfum here. Came in today looking for a…read moregood quality men's facial cleanser and face scrub. Ended up buying that and more! lol Was pleasantly surprised when a sales assistant demonstrated the toner for me. Loved it and it only needs to be sprayed on rather than applied with a cotton pad. For years I used the Clinique men's range but found it overpriced and much too harsh. The Dr Haushcka products are all able to be taken on international flights as it it 100ml and under. More expensive than Clinique but I really like the no-animal tests idea behind it all and am willing to pay a premium for it. The sales counters are always clear and the assistants know their products. Definitely recommended for those looking to step out of their comfort zone and spend on quality rather than stay loyal to a product brand which doesn't fit with their ideals.

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!

I don't think this place is meant to be somewhere you eat a full meal, but we ended up stuck in…read morethis area so we ate here. We got a few of the items from the counter and I'd say it was okay in terms of quality, but service was fairly disinterested. Good views and definitely good in a pinch, but if you're only in NZ for a vacation, I'd try to plan better to get food from somewhere else.

My veggie and Camembert toasty was very slim on fillings, especially for $9.50, but quite tasty nonetheless. the spinach and ricotta tort ($6.50/slice) was very tasty though, and we got apples and kombucha to round out the meal. The house made Afghan cookies have a rich, cocoa flavor and make for a great sweet treat before hitting the beach

This building in the middle of Karaka has had a number of different owners and been a number of…read moredifferent businesses over the years. Now it has been fully revamped and made into a bakery and general store. It's a very nice looking bakery too, the building has been beautifully painted and decorated, and it's so convenient for locals too seeing as there isn't much else in the way of shops out here. But the food itself is not the best, and there is quite a poor selection. Quite pricey too, it's hard to justify paying so much for pretty average food. The pie that I bought was barely warm. Quite disappointing. I would be happy to pay the price if they stocked some better quality food, and a greater variety of it.

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.
