THE place to go if you want sport specific shoes. They know their stuff!

When you need something at short notice, this place is your best bet. They’ve got a huge range and quite often have great sales.

The adidas store on Lambton Quay is great if you're looking for sports gear or the more retro originals range. If the All Blacks are in town you’ve got a great chance of seeing them there too!

Like the name suggests, the team here specialise in surf and snow gear. They’ve got a sweet range of snowboards and wetsuits.

Clothes, bags, jewellery, stationery, beauty products…so many lovely things!

A wonderful place to buy gifts for your socially concious friends. They stock beautiful things from all over the world including jewellery, kids toys, tea pots and even chocolate!

Another beautifully stocked store. Great for wedding gifts.

Stocking all sorts of lovely things, Redcurrent is a great place to go if you want to spruce up your living space. From Ecoya candles to vintage style umbrella stands, there’s lots here to take your fancy.

After a big night, a big glass of Plum Cafe’s house made lemon, honey and ginger will go down a real treat! Feel better with every sip!

Deliciously rich hot chocolates. The perfect treat to ease your tough day at work.

So many beautiful cakes here at the cosy Cha cafe you're bound to come back to try something else.  Cha is open until late which suits me just fine and there is an even bigger range of teas to wash all the cake down. 

Scopa do the most beautiful hot chocolate, velvety smooth, not too sweet. Liquid perfection

They do the best curly fries and the aioli sauce is absolutely delicious. Choose to eat in or take out!

The folks here do the best garlic naan! I can’t rave about it enough. It’s my absolute favourite! Go and get 5!

Just as delicious at dinner time as it is at 2am. They have an awesome range of pizza flavours (I recommend the Porker) and at $5 a slice, a real good deal!

Choose from their wide range of bready goodness, brezels, fitness rolls, cakes and muffins. Fresh and delicious. Their hot cross buns during Easter are pretty excellent too.

Not only do they go great fish (duh) the team here do a fantastic selection of chips. I recommend their hand cut fries with a bit of rocket fuel, delicious!
