At the time of writing, Parklands Fruit & Vege are closed for two weeks to renovate their shop…read more Because they are such awesome people they have made little flyers to put in the bags to let everyone know. I know my household is not the only one who will miss them but they do get mad busy sometimes so I imagine their flash new shop will be worth the wait. The thing I love about this place is mainly the fact that the family that run it are so friendly and hardworking. I also know that anything I buy from here will be good - if it's not perfectly fresh and tasty, they don't sell it. Everyone has had those times with the bad bag of kiwifruit or floury apples or whatever, but if that happened here they would be so embarrassed and no doubt give you your money back. It's that kind of place; they CARE. The pricing is excellent and I've seen them help people carry their stuff to the car, give free pieces of fruit to cute littlies and genuinely be a cornerstone to the Balmoral community - it's like the pub for busy mums; if I haven't seen someone in a while, odds are I will run into them here.

This fruit shop would have to be the best fruit shop I've ever shopped at. The service there is…read moreimpeccable. The staff are all family based and each person greets you with a smile when you enter the store. Every time I go there, I am never disappointed. The fruit and vegetables there are always fresh and I can always trust that what I buy is of top quality. Everything there is top quality. Everything from the service, to the products is top notch. This shop has been here since I was a kid. It is one of the only establishments that make Balmoral what it is. Incredibly fresh fruit and a lively store run by a lovely family.

What I really like about this Fruit World, maybe the others do it as well, but this one had all the…read morefruit and veges as you would expect. Its also bit of a mini market, its got a number of Asian goods - tofu, soya sauce, noodles and all that. But it also got Italian/Mediterranean type stuff like Olives, feta cheese, pasta, pasta sauce, and it also has some really good oils, like Omega mix with Avocado oil and Olive Oil. I also love that its clean and tidy inside, some Fruit/Asian type places aren't. Also it's nice and handy and has good parking. I also always find the staff to be super friendly and I love that they offer me a box instead of plastic bags.

From the USA, I ordered a fresh box of fruit for friends in Auckland for Christmas from the Fruit…read moreWorld in Grey Lynne. Service was outstanding, as the box was delivered within two days.

This is my local Fruit World and a good place to shop for fruit and vegetables. The produce is…read morealways fresh and reasonably priced, with competition from next door's Farro and Countdown across the road. Several times I've asked if they have extra stock out the back of a particular item and staff have always been friendly and courteous. The layout is easy to navigate and the produce always stacked nicely on display. They also have a decent selection of nuts and dried fruits, as well as ethnic foods. I like to buy my wraps from here, and they have delicious fresh bagels and paninis for sale too. Also check out the frozen dumplings etc in the cool stores at the front of the shop!

I popped into visit this organic farm while I was out for a run one day in the area and wanted to…read morecheck it out. I spoke to someone working out the front who directed me to the manager who was more than happy to talk to me about the farm and what they grow there. You can buy vegetables on-site or they also sell their produce at a farmers' market. He was preparing for a meeting at the time but offered to show me around the farm if I was able to come another time. As well as a range of organic vegetables they also have free range eggs and lamb. I have also since found out that Hamlin Farm provides work opportunities for people who have experienced mental illness and assisting their transition into the workforce. Awesome.

The selection here is really good , you can get everything from amaranth to zucchini …read more Staff are friendly . Although price wise can be up and down due to market availability and prices set . They have some noodles and dim sum products in their freezer section . Sometimes they have things you wouldn't expect like corn chips and fried tofu . The car park is RIDICULOUS !!! , building is on a slight bend so park next door at the paint shop .

Fruit City is in the same mall as my regular supermarket and I always feel mightily disappointed in…read moremyself if I ever laze into buying fruit and veges from the supermarket rather than the glorious Fruit City. Fruit City is regularly two-thirds to half the price of the supermarket, and the fruit and vege are always fresher and better quality. They have a full range of the aforementioned and often some things in stock that the supermarket doesn't have. They also stock a really good range of Asian greens, as well as eggs, spices and nuts, teas, biscuits, and heaps of frozen stuff, from meat and fish to heaps of different kinds of dumplings, berries, and pies. The service is really good, so I can't think of a negative thing to say about it. Except, and this is more of a general comment, what's with people wearing plastic gloves to both weigh and pack the veges, and take the cash?

If Northcote shopping centre has five Asian supermarkets, then Dahua Supermarket is king of them…read moreall. It seems to be at least four times as big as the others and even has a few specialty counters inside. I noticed one that seemed to be a kind of herbal pharmacy also selling ugg boots, and a meat counter selling all sorts of delicacies, from very cheap chicken breasts through to chicken's feet, pig's snouts, and even pig tero-tero (English translation apparently). Having a quick look around I think this may be the cheapest and have the widest variety of the Asian supermarkets in Northcote, perhaps why it is so big and popular.

Situated in an industrial area next to the Aussie Butcher, I probably wouldn't have paid any…read moreattention if I hadn't been driving past in a moment of veggie and fruit need. The blackboard signs outside promise bargains and the parking is vast but like I said, more importantly it was en route. These kinds of shops are everywhere in Auckland now and they are not all created equal. This one is great - lots of fresh fruit and vege with the full complement of Asian greens as well as the usual massive range of chilli sauces, soya sauces, pastes, tinned goods etc. Best of all the pricing is excellent and they have all the essentials - it's no good going to a shop like this if you can't get milk and bread as well. Oh, and $2.99 for a big bag of frozen Edamame beans - bargain!

Fresh does make the world go round. This is a great Fruit World, the produce is always in really…read moregood condition (unless you want to but the really ripe fruits that they package up separately and place at the front and back of the store. They are really cheap and are great for freezing for smoothies, stewing or for making jam). This fruit world has more than just fruit and vegetables but also has a small grocery section too. There is a large section for grains, lentils and other pulses, nuts, dried fruits and spices, all natural and unprocessed. There is also a range of Italian and Japanese ingredients, oils, pastas and canned legumes. They stock fresh wraps, pita bread and they sell tofu. You could probably do most of your shopping here. If this is sounding too healthy there is also a junky section with candy, corn chips and cookie time cookies and I suspect they sell quite a bit of that stuff. The staff at the store are super friendly too and the prices are very good. What more can you ask for really?

This is a fruit and vegetable and Asian grocery store. It is big and the prices are usually pretty…read morecompetitive too. They sell a lot of more tropical fruits that the supermarkets do not, due largely to the fact that a large proportion of the Asian population shop here and these more unusual fruits are what they know and love. This therefore makes getting your fruit and vegetables more exciting. They also seem to have extremely large kumara here, absolutely huge. That aside, great store. They also stock Asian grocery items like noodles, miso, cookies, drinks, dried fruits, crackers and so on. Other things like Swiss chocolate, honey, Danny's pita bread, coconut butter and fortune cookies can be found here too. The staff are really polite, the quality of the produce is good and so are the prices. There is lots of parking on site too which is great because parking in Newmarket can be a bit of a hassle so if you're passing through give it a go.

I also buy stuff like coconut cream, curry pastes, canned vegetables and other stuff from here at good prices, and they have some drink fridges in the back with a weird and wonderful range of different Asian drinks. The staff here are always friendly and efficient, and the store itself is clean and well stocked.
