Bagel Love Wellesley St W
Bagel shop
👍👍 Perfect little joint especially for post-workout feeds. Always reliable and generously filled bagels. Tried the Wellesley last time and most recently the Lover which were both fresh and perfectly toasted. Been also buying their plain sesame bagels for the home and I don’t think I’ll return to store...

👍👍 The pork Sando was amazing. Very flavorful and messy just the way it should be. It's basically a tonkotsu ramen in a Sando. Also 100% recommend the fried chicken! The pork katsu Sando was quite dry though.

Cafe
👍👍 We arrived around 11am on Sunday for brunch. It was clearly a busy, popular spot. The outside tables were full so we went inside and were able to grab a table for three. The staff gave us some menus and we made our selections. Lots of good stuff on the menu so it was a struggle to pick! My daughter...

Salad shop
👍👍 This salad shop is a modern gem. The decor and over all design is the perfect picture to a modern Auckland swanky food boutique. The food is priced on par with other lunch establishments, and there is surprising variety for a place that just sells salads; I expected the menu to be aimed at vegans, b...

Cafe
😠 It was yesterday, a Friday in the middle of the day, we walked into the cafe in a very good mood as we hadn't seen each other in a very long time, there was not a single other customer there, due to the long weekend she said. We'd been there for less than a minute perusing the counter food when the...
