This absolute gem of a whole-in-the-wall is tucked just inside Elliot Stables. You wouldn't read…read moreabout but here you can get a decent sized freshly-made juice for only $7, which is pretty much unheard of in the middle of town. Plus, if you get your juice to drink-in it comes in a cool glass cup that kind of resembles a can (see pic) - similar to the cups at Chop Chop now that I think about it. I'll admit that my vitamin booster (beetroot, carrot, ginger, apple & orange) was a tad sweet for my liking but since it was only $7 I didn't really care... Definitely my new inner city juice stop - well worth a looksie!

I love Wedge! This is my favourite juice place ever!!! Davina - the energetic ball of happiness…read morebehind the counter - is so friendly and nice, i look forward to having chats with her! The Meadow is the best green juice ever, cold pressed to make sure all those amazing nutrients are kept inside the juice, but not too bitter as it's balanced out by lemon and apple. Honestly all of the juices are amazing, plus the warm lemon, ginger and honey drink is perfect for those frosty winter mornings!

If you're a healthy vegan, highly recommend this place. It has actually healthy optionsread more

Very nice employees!…read more but the drink was lacking more flavors. It just tasted like a very strong cup of ginger. But I will definitely come back and maybe try the other drinks

does anyone else ever get cravings for ... (wait for it) ... FRESH GINGER?…read more no? maybe that's just me? anyhow, new zealand's a fine place to be a ginger-lover (i've already sampled three different varieties of micro-brewed ginger beer and, have since become an addict). tangent aside, this juice bar hits the spot. not only is it directly across from my office, they also have reasonable prices, you don't have to wait in an obnoxious 15 minute line (*cough* tank *cough*) and they use hurom slow juicers which are designed to squeeze every last nutrient out of that fruit, veggie, nourishment of choice. today i opted for a beet, apple, fresh ginger (DUH) concoction which had the perfect amount of zing to get me through tuesday afternoon. a small 3-4 veggie/fruit juice (served in a generous 16oz cup) will set you back $5.90 - which i think is pretty fair given competitor prices and the quality of the juice. plus the service is so darn friendly, you just have to return the smiles. i do wish they provided straws, though. something just feels weird about sipping a freshly squeezed juice coffee-style.

Thank you Yelp New Zealand Apparently there are many breakfast & brunch spots that are within walking distance from our hotel, we selected 'The Store.' Highly rated, and for good reason, casual dining with patio seating, great service and excellent food.

The sourdough and eggs were great as well. I personally don't like parsley garnish so I didn't enjoy that on the egg as much but everything else was fantastic. Tomatoes were really juicy. Everything just tasted super fresh and of great quality.

After having a craving for a smoothie (a good one at that ) a quick check on yelp pointed me in the…read moredirection of Huckleberry Farms on Campbell rd . What a smoothie it was ! All the ingredients that were on the blackboard were in it , as in I could taste the parsley , kale , banana and pear . They also have a good cabinet food display no scones or muffins here tho , just good eats !

I came here the other day because I had heard of the fantastic smooties Huckleberry Farms make…read more Everyone was correct, it was great! I wasn't the bravest as they have heaps of unusual flavours incorporating kale etc. I however stuck with a classic energiser. As I was waiting for my smoothie I went for a wander around the store. Here they have a wide range of organic, vegan and gluten free alternatives to your usual food you'd find at your standard supermarket. They had everything from dairy products, cooking products, fresh fruit and veges, even cleaning products, hygiene products and much more. They even have a bunch of books and magazines with organic, vegan and gluten free recipes. I would love to come shop here more often, but after looking at the prices this is a very expensive way to live. However if you want to live on the extremely healthy side once and a while, I would recommend coming to the little in store café they have here. The cabinet food looked great, and the smoothies are delicious.

If you don't care about any of the detail, just know this: The Matcha Latte. Get it, sip it, savor it. Smooth and creamy and perfect and ahh, what dreams are made of. Tucked on the corner of New North and Ace place (the link to Dominion Rd), this garage-front cafe feels a bit 'off the beaten path' (but in the best way possible). The space is elegantly decorated with bright artwork & stylish cushions, with an inexplicable feeling of freshness. They make their own raw pressed juices and smoothies, with an impressive variety. From green detox through to cacao date handmade nut milk, the color of the rainbow is up for grabs. I tried the Aloha, a blend of pineapple, almond milk, cashews, tumeric and lemon. It was pretty f*cking delicious. This, alongside the Namaste bowl of spiced lentils, naan, veggies and avocado made for a super satisfying, balanced meal. They have a decent selection of raw desserts too - we split the raspberry lemon 'cheese' cake, which tasted like a healthier version of fudge - just as creamy but without a stomach ache afterward ;) No, it's not cheap, but I would say sliiiightly more reasonable with the other organic specialty spots in the neighborhood....slightly.

Urban Fuel has recently opened up in the Meadowbank Shopping Centre, and this is my new favourite…read morelocal takeaway! This place is amazing!! Their focus seems to be on natural health, so the foods usually contain interesting grains, seeds, pulses, and fresh fillings. They make a huge cabinet of delicious ricepaper rolls, filled with all sorts of goodies, like beetroot, carrot, orange, corn, chicken, sprouts (all in one roll), and they only cost $3!!! They also have giant omellete rolls filled with chicken fried rice for $6. So much better value that sushi. But I hope that they don't go out of business for charging so little. You can also get a massive range of fresh juices, including wheatgrass shots.

Have visited Urban Fuel three times in the last week and have been so happy with the food and service each time. My usual order is a prawn rice paper roll, with a small or medium salad. I love getting a little of all of the salads on offer, the black rice, kale salad, and broccoli salad are so tasty. Also their juices and smoothies are delicious!

I didn't know they closed at 4 and I showed up at 4:05 and they were kind enough to still serve me! Plenty of options. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the prices. The tasty Buddha Bowl was $15 and barely kept me full for a few hours. There are similar vegetarian salad spots with the same type of cabinet food for $8-10.

And I wasn't disappointed either, only waiting a few minutes for them to freshly make my 'Banana Berry Bash' on the spot with delicious, organic ingredients. Other options include a 'Vitamin Booster', with ingredients such as beetroot, carrot and ginger, or the 'Zinger Blinger', with orange, lemon, ginger and tropical fruit. All drinks are $6, and go down splendidly together with a savoury treat on a hot summer's day.
