It's not often that you fall in love on first sight, in fact I always thought it was a myth. But this is exactly what happened to me when I discovered 'The Daily Trader' in Takapuna. This little 'brunchery/delicatessen is perhaps the cutest thing ever, which is all well and good but it actually sells amazing food as well.
Loaves of freshly made bread are laid out appealingly on shelves, next to wooden barrel like things. Its all very French chic.
As I was in a rush when I went in there to grab a bit to eat, I had to order takeaway but had my heart set on the muesli option. One of the male sales assistants was so helpful, he said it was absolutely no problem, got my muesli set up in a takeaway cup for me and even took $5 off the price. I saw a bowl of this go out instore and it looked pretty much the same size to me anyway! Think I got a bargain.
The service was outstanding. All smiles.
The cabinet was fully stocked and looked extremely inviting, they even sell my all time favourite salmon pâté, from The SmokeHouse in Mapua, what are the chances!
