This is probably more a review for Lindt chocolate who have put together my two favourite things - coffee and chocolate !!! With the sweetness of Lindt chocolate and the toasty coffee flavour this is the bees knees ! But back to the supermarket .

I do like the spacious aisles and this Countdown can be somewhat less busy than the other one on Seddon St Money machine and lotto at the front entrance . Lots of car parks . The end .

Terrible customer service. The man at the counter, the owner I presume, is extremely rude. No…read moremanners whatsoever. I entered the shop and went to the counter to ask about a product and he was having a conversation with another customer. His first words ro me were, "yes girl" in the rudest tone ever. I assumed professional businesses like these would know how to greet their customers properly. Secondly, when I asked him about a product and he didn't understand me properly, he yelled at me going "HUUUHHH WHAT" so loudly and disrespectfully. He seemed more interested in the conversation he was having with the other customer and acted as though I had disturbed their conversation and didn't seem happy about it. Never ever going back there again. I thought older people would be more respectful and courteous towards their customers, but that was not the case here. Absolutely disgusted at the person's behaviour. If you ever read this, please go learn some manners

OMG this Countdown is the biggest one I've ever been to! It is so huge and very clean and well…read moreorganized too. I loved the free parking (seems to be rare in the CBD), though it's well monitored, so if you're planning to park and ditch, be careful. I have to pee like 90% of the time, so of course I had to use the bathroom at Countdown. It was not the best bathroom experience. Someone had peed all over the seat and quite a bit on the floor as well. There was toilet paper everywhere and it looked like the bathrooms weren't kept after super well, but that is the only reason that this store got 4 stars instead of 5. They have a massive selection of health foods and even better, a HUGE selection of bulk foods. One of my 2018 goals is to reduce the amount of food packaging/waste that I create, so this was an exciting day for me! Being in the center of the city, it is a busy store, and the tills were busy. I went through the self check out which was quick, and the attendant there was nice and greeting everyone. So I wouldn't expect to get in and out of here quickly unless you are going at an odd hour. The store is great and has such a great selection of bulk - I'll totally be back here next time I'm around the city center!

It was a pretty good experience, would be a five star if only the staff had treated me politely.

I saw them, and they didn't even TRY to help me! I'll try a different Countdown next time, hopefully they'll be better.

How could I give a supermarket five stars?!…read more To start with, when I first walked in, I thought I'd got the wrong place. There are these stunning bright red chandeliers set over a large dining table just to the side of the main entrance. Then I realised this was just a rather different supermarket shopping experience. I initially popped in just because I was in the area and in a hurry - I have closer regular supermarket. But whenever I'm around Half Moon Bay or feel like a change in the drudgery of grocery shopping, I always head in here. It's not a big barn of a place, and is actually quite small as far as supermarkets go, but it's packed with everything you'd expect from even the giant-sized competitors. I can't say how nice the shopping experience is - it's quiet enough to actually think, and the sometimes the staff greet you as you walk the aisles..! And a bonus; the sign on the door says it's locally owned and operated.

Don't know about the rest of the staff, but blonde girl at self-checkout during my trip certainly decided to treat us differently from all the customers.

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.

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.
