It's right around the corner from the AUT Tower so convenience-wise, it was A+. The chicken rolls here are seriously good and I really like their baked goods as well! I'm a big fan of their caramel slice and still crave it every now and then. They sell a variety of foods so they cater for whatever you're feeling like. Admittedly, I've never had one of their sandwiches. And that was because I was obsessed with their pies (mince and cheese to be precise). I can assure you you probably won't find one better in the CBD, these babies are usually gone by lunchtime, and knowing your luck it'll be the one you were thinking about all morning! But I'd suggest getting one anyway, that pie pastry they make is amazing. Global Sandwich is the best place to spend that extra change and more.

After a…read morecertain time, the sandwiches and rolls at Global Sandwich go on sale, half price for the items that are displayed at the entrance. For me this is heaven, nothing satisfies a student more than cheap food! I saw the sign as I was about to head into Imax food court but I ran across the road to Global Sandwich. I bought a smoked chicken sandwich on five grain bread and a banana muffin. This cost me $3.70! If you don't believe me head down there yourself. Apart from the cheap price it's nice to know that they are some honest people in this world who don't recycle their food stock.

Al & Petes has always been a personal favourite for its takeaway Toasted Sandwiches. In particular the Steak and Cheese toasted is 'to die for!' Now in this day and age eating takeaways is no longer as fashionable as it once was. That said it will be a very long and chilly day in hell before anyone can convince me that eating an Al and Petes toasted sandwich is bad for you. Just look at the posted pic and ask yourself... Do I really want to miss out of this gastronomical delight? Long live 'Al & Petes!'

We bought a filled croissant and a chicken kebab from this bakery today…read more My Mum thought the croissant was a great price, until she opened it to find out it was empty. Was a shame that it was placed behind a sign reading "chicken croissant." My kebab was supposed to be chicken but I honestly believe it was something else. It was pink & filled with gristle/bone and a lot of fat, which I could still taste it in my mouth an hour after eating it. Was a real shame having such a bad result from this bakery, especially after seeing the awards on the window.

I believe Wild Wheat has a few stores around Auckland, with the Mt Eden store being my local. Known…read morefor selling a range of artisan bread loaves, they also offer handmade sandwiches on their delicious pide along with a few other deli items. For a delicious quick bite, we grabbed a couple of sandwiches, one beef and one chicken. The filling options are quite the generic such as chicken, beef, ham and vegetarian but lets be honest, those are the fillings that suit most. They were great for something light and had a delicious chutney or tomato jam. Its good if you are being health conscious or just not a fan of mayo like myself. They aren't anything fancy but a sandwich can make or break based on the bread it's served on - the fresh pide just makes it. If you're just looking for that loaf of bread to dip with in that extra gravy at dinner, or to make that delicious home made garlic bread, grab one of the many loaves they have on to offer. Its only a small store so I would recommend just grabbing anything takeaway.

Hi I'm Mary and I love kumara…read more So you can imagine my excitement when I strolled into Wild Wheat one day and saw they do a kumara sourdough. I purchased a small loaf to take along to a barbecue and it went down a treat! Wild Wheat is award winning and the kumara sourdough was judged best bread in the country at the 2012 NZ Food Awards. No big deal! At Wild Wheat you can not only get loaves of bread, but also individual bread rolls (including mini burger buns, cute), pies, meringues, slices and award winning hot cross buns for Easter.

Yes it sounds strange, but imagine an old two story house turned into a cafe. The first floor is the cafe as seen from the street plus a second room. The upstairs is a room with a big table that could be used for book club meeting and a kids play room. Since I went there on a Thursday around 11 the kids had a loud rowdy command over the second floor. The food: great choices of both pastries and salads. I had the chickens club sandwich with chips, while the bf had a breakfast egg dish. But let me backtrack to my chips - absolutely delicious, like unexpectedly that a cafe would have some of the best chips I've had. The other food was great as well. Luscious cafe left a very nice cozy feeling with me. I would definitely go back.

The ambiance was vibey and loved that I was sitting outside, but still covered from the sun. The waiters were so nice and were able to answer any questions I had. I ordered an iced hazelnut oatmilk latte and a fried chicken benedict and they were delicious! The latte was the perfect drink to wake me up for a busy day ahead! They definitely do eggs benedict different but it was still so tasty. Instead of the usual english muffin, they used an herb rostis, which is a crispy hash brown round. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The herb rostis was also crispy and paired well with the creamy poached eggs! I miss this meal so much and dreaming of having this again the next time I go back to Auckland!

Al's sauce was the bonus that took it all over the top. I added the combo for a complete meal. The coleslaw had enough a unique tangy taste. The pickle and fries were ok. I will try the poutine fries next. Service was solid. I didn't know you pay at the register, but I was really satisfied with my meal that the extra time waiting to find out didn't matter. Al's Deli is a solid spot for a 5-Star burger.

It was open at the time I was in the area and it did look inviting. I perused the menu and decided to give it a try. Walking in I saw the old-fashioned furnishings, metal chairs, display cases, wall shelves, big bar in the middle all in a long and narrow room. Yessss, this looks lie something out of the 50s and I like it. After a long hard look at the menu I opted for the Salami platter... Strangely enough there wasn't salami, but more like a smoked ham, prosciutto like meat. It tasted great, so what's in a name. Delicious heirloom tomatoes, capers, salami impersonator, cream cheese, capers, pickles and your choice of bread. I had chosen crumpets and regretted that . Not because they weren't delicious, because they were so yummy, but they were also so buttery that I couldn't get the cream cheese to stick and everything I tried to put on the crumpet just slid right off them. I got the bottomless cup of coffee and I must say, this is really good coffee and the refills kept coming also. I love the atmosphere in here and there are so many great choices on the menu. If I ever come back tot Auckland, I will definitely stop by this place again.

Yum pies, and standard bakery food- muffins, scones, lamingtons, rolls and the like.
