A great store in the heart of Milford. With friendly and knowledgable staff you can't look past this store for all your cheese needs. They also stock a great range of relishes and cheese accessories as well as olive oils etc. a great place to either pick up reasonably priced high quality cheese for yourself or grab a nice gift for your favourite cheese lover.

David preparing to give us a taste of THE BEST Blue Vein cheese I've ever had! I definitely bought some home!

Fantastic small French cafe and deli featuring a beautiful selection of cheese. Many customers were…read moredashing in for at home supplies. There is a large cheese room with glass viewing area in the main dining area which adds to the ambience. There is plenty of seating to enjoy the limited menu - everything we tasted was delicious. The place was almost full when we arrived and totally full by the time we were served. We had pretty decent coffees with palmiers which were super crispy and perfectly sweet. We actually went back for more. The cheese and ham croissant was flakey, warm with gooey Camembert and a generous amount of ham. I had the braised ox tail on custard which is served with a few slices of fresh baguette. The braised ox was gelatinous and salty, the custard smooth and creamy set into the serving bowl, on top were pickled mushrooms adding a much welcome tangy refreshing way to cut through all the other richness. I'm not usually a fan of micro greens, but these were pretty tasty fresh and added texture. DELICIOUS! I only wish the serve was larger. Will definitely return because I saw many tasty looking soups being served and want to try more.

This is my favourite place to have a good French style cafe meal, Everything we ordered was…read moreamazing. This cafe is also a cheese retailer, so if your looking for some of the worlds best cheese this is the place to find it.

Go Dutch! This is a the store to come and buy your authentic Dutch cheese, that delicious yet…read morestrange tasting Dutch licorice and Nasi Goreng.... Nasi Goreng?????..... well, yes, I had to look twice too, all this time I have eaten Nasi Goreng out and I thought it was an Asian delicacy... The prices vary, usually towards the more hefty side, but if it is the occasional shop or a one off item you are after then look at it as a treat. They have quite an extensive range too, plus if you check out their website www.godutch.co.nz you can buy online! Go Dutch also have another retail outlet in Orewa. If you haven't ever tried Dutch licorice before, give it a go! It is very different to the soft sweet stuff in the West. This store offer a variety to chose from, ask staff about the different choices to help you decide.

As a big cheese eater, this small selection of Dutch cheese wheels was a great find, easily accompanied by authentic savoury crackers in stock. Good goat's cheese is scarce in New Zealand. Go Dutch obviously stocks goat's cheese, gouda- even a bright green pesto cheese. Even better than the cheeses was the licorice selection, at the rear of the store and almost behind the counter, like an old English sweets shop. Each flavour has its name and taste (sweet or salty) clearly printed on the front. The pleasant older lady working the store will willingly help guide your decision. A great store to find that something special as a gift, to enhance a meal or for a new experience.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. That was us with the smiles…read moreon our face as we took home our 300+ gm handmade cheese made by my very own hand. Il Casaro Cheesemaking class was my highlight for my week after being stuck at home sick. Massimiliano was great value and a master cheesemaker that I would recommend you go and visit next time you want some good quality handmade cheese at a great price. His class (the cheese template) was a great class and will be quickly followed up with the Mozarella class in a few weeks by my group. He's very informative - giving you history of where he's from and the family business back at home in Puglia, Italy to where the milk comes from here in Tauranga, NZ. At the end you get to try 6 cheeses - smoked Mozarella, grape infused cheese, Provolone, Burata, Stracchino and finally Mascarpone. Email Marzia if you want to take one of their great classes. This would also be great for a Company team building event.

From his humble kitchen, he produces an impressive variety including provolone, ricotta, burrito, mascarpone, smoked mozzarella blue cheese. He even experiments with wine infused cheese! If you fancy a great afternoon, attend one of his cheese making classes where you can learn to make a basic cheese, mozzarella or mascarpone. Email him at marzia@ilcasaro.co.nz. Otherwise look for his products at Farro supermarkets.

Wheel upon wheel of New Zealand cheese, Kapiti icecream by the scoop, rotisserie chooks and chewy…read morecookies that upon request can be made into ridiculously huuge (and unbelievably good) ice cream sandwiches....seriously, what's not to like! Okay, so I will admit that the cheese is little pricey but you get what you pay for, which is beautifully made NZ cheese. Mention must also be made of the service at this joint. I came here recently with a friend for a post pizza ice cream juuuust as they were closing and not only did the friendly bloke behind the counter give us a mini cheese tasting (not that we needed it) but he also offered us complimentary nerds with our ice cream. Not sure if this is standard procedure but we were absolutely chuffed - I hadn't had nerds in years! He even offered to unstack some of the chairs so we could sit and enjoy our ice creams inside, out of the wet and windy weather outside. Bless his little cotton socks.

I really enjoy coming to The Dairy! This cafe brings back so many childhood memories, from candy…read morefloss to sodas to freshly baked cookies straight out of the jar! It really is a one of a kind. First time coming here, I almost felt like a giggly schoolchild again, forever trying to decide on how many cookies I wanted and which delicious Kapiti ice cream flavour I wanted to sandwich between them. I love that the cookies are HUGE and they come with generous amount of ice cream, which honestly makes them a bit tricky to eat as they can get very messy, but I suppose that is all part of the fun and remembering what is was like to be a kid? Personally, I think The Dairy is great for any ages. I took my Mum once and even though she didn't try anything, she got a lot of joy out of watching my older sister and I trying to eat their giant ice cream sandwich cookies! Highly recommend this place!

Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, this is a hidden gem. You can taste a wide variety of Puhio…read moreValley's natural cheeses, and learn about the creation process. The cheese lady (sorry I forgot her name) was great about ensuring we ate certain cheeses in order for our palate, which was delightful advice. We ended up eating there, and I'm so happy we did. In our two week NZ tour, the sandwich from here (salami, brie, chicken, and veggies) was by far the best thing I ate. The cheese melted wonderfully and the combination of flavors with sauces was drool worthy. I wish we didn't get stuffed quickly, because I've heard their ice cream is amazing (one trip regret). Also, I have to say the price was so reasonable. You'd expect fr a fancy cheese place to have high priced meals, but my sandwich was massive for a small price, and the pizza my husband got was juicy not greasy, and also a super shocking low price for as large as it was.

So I just ordered some award winning ice creams and some coffee. The ice cream is fantastic, so creamy and yummy. Same thing can't be said about the coffee, it was almost as weak as water. I m not a big cheese person, but I can't resist a bargain. So I bought the single cream Camembert that is on special. If it wasn't pouring down outside, I would take a stroll around the grounds and maybe even had a play on the swings to work off those guilty ice cream calories.
