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.

A great Korean grocery store with a small food stall inside. The store is very well maintained by…read moretheir friendly staff and the food they serve at the stall is reasonably priced. I came for the first time about ten years ago and the store hasn't changed since then (in a good way, of course.) Every staff member I encountered at the store was friendly and made me want to come back. I ordered Kimbap (Korean sushi) with ham and dried pollock soup at the stall. Kimbap was very flavorful with a perfect amount of rice and it was absolutely delicious! The dried pollock soup really hit the spot as I wasn't feeling 100% and needed some comfort food. It's got some rehydrated dried fish (pollock), vegetables, eggs and tofu and drizzled with sesame oil. I'll definitely come back to have some more delicious food!

I quite like a jaunt around this supermarket , it makes for a refresher against other supermarkets…read more. The selection between Progressive supermarket chains and Foodstuffs can be remarkably different , so in that respect I'm guessing it's up to the manager as to what they get to stock . At the Botany New World the aisles are set out a bit on the small side , but I find the staff are friendly . With the addition of self - service checkouts it can make for a faster experience .

This countdown has probably got the worst car park layout ever. It's just screaming out for a car…read moreaccident, but thankfully none occurred while I was there. It has a typical roof top, but the entry & exit is on an angle, so you can't see cars coming til their inches away from smacking your car. Also, one part of it is simply an exit in an awkward place (you'd rather enter the car park there). That said, there's little to complain about with this Countdown, living up to the standards of other Countdowns across the East ( and there are many of those). Having been to the Botany one that gives out 10c per litre fuel, then going here and discovering it's only 4c, you feel kind of ripped off. It's not the end of the world though. The layout and products were good, and the customer service excellent.

This supermarket has just about everything! The aisles are wide and the shelves are neatly stocked…read more What impressed me was how appealing the produce was arranged! The green vegetables looked like a flower shop full of green flowers! I'm just visiting from the states but will come back again.

Another amazing store located right by the airport. We were so grateful to find this place to grab…read moresome last minute chocolates and biscuits to take back to friends and family. No doubt if we'd got this stuff at the airport, we would've paid twice as much. Great selection of different candies, plus all the traditional grocery items in case you need some food for the plane.

This was one of the best places to shop for me but not anymore. Not after what happened today. I…read morewent shopping here with my mum and brought two bottles of wine and other grocries. At the counter while the cashiers were scanning our items, a lady comes (looked like she was the shift supervisor) and asks me for my ID saying that i look underage, my mum said she's the one buying it but the lady still insisted on looking at my ID. This is ridicilious, 1, i'm 20 years old and 2, i had an older person with me. That lady should be fired. Useless b****

Slightly bigger than your average convenience store, Four Square could almost be a proper…read moresupermarket, boasting much of your grocery needs. In this particular one, I experienced the most outstanding customer service. Not only were they keen to help, and knew their products well, but apologized for being in the way while they were stocking shelves. I have never had a proper apology for that in any supermarket ever! They moved and offered to take down anything I might need from a shelf I couldn't reach. (also a first!) It really made we want to return, but unfortunately I moved quite far away, so had to change convenience stores. So if you happen to be living in the area or passing through, pop in!

I stumbled across this place after picking up a coffee from The Apothecary - we were looking for…read morecrackers and cheese to take down to Howick Beach for a picnic and nearly headed for the nearest supermarket before spotting this place. A grocer it is - you can buy a lot of really good quality fruit and vegetables here. They all come with poems on the stands that talk about not squeezing the nectarines or avocados to death; it's cute. But this place also sells a large range of artisan cheese, fancy crackers and imported items like Belgian chocolate and German Spekulatius biscuits. YUM! The most amazing thing about this place is the prices of the stuff - we were stunned to get a packet of pretty fancy crackers, a wheel of cheese and a massive container of semi-dried tomatoes for less than ten bucks. Eat your heart out, Nosh! This place is so cheap and so good - definitely check it out.
