Local Hotspots in New Zealand

"This place, just by looking at it from out on the street, is somewhere that prides themselves on presentation, great flavours, and baking with love; they even make their own bread which is a very rare thing at cafes these days. The Market Patisserie & Café has their cabinets’ packed full everyday with salads, wraps and panini’s, baked goods, things that have been stuffed, and desserts! Words do not do it justice, so I urge you to head on down there; it’s what New Plymouth has been waiting for!"

"Jet Charm Barbershop & Gentlemen’s Quarters is the new kid on the block with New Plymouth hairdressers, and their style and décor is just of this world. The sign out the front has the traditional red, blue, and white stripes but the inside is amazing! The walls are black with polished hardwood floors and large mirrors with gold frames; it’s a hipsters dream! They even sell coffee through a window on the side, and get the beans from Escape Coffee that is another new addition to the city."

"Build a birthday is a great new addition to the Moturoa suburb, and is something that will really draw customers in for business. I really wish this store was available when I was a kid, I would have been in paradise. You can shop by colour, theme, age, and occasion; meaning you can coordinate decorations not only for birthdays, but for events such as weddings, Easter, Christmas, and Halloween. And the range of themes they can cater for is never ending, I would have loved to have a fairy themed birthday!"

"After much speculation about what this new construction was going to be, it turns out to be a dairy! But it’s not just an ordinary corner dairy that we’re all used to. The St. Aubyn Street dairy is right next door to the bustling Terry’s Takeaways which are owned by the same people. It has everything you need for snacks throughout the day, any dinner essentials, and of course; ice cream! Not to mention it’s almost twice the size of any regular corner diary so that means twice the items packed in. Stop in and get in the queue to grab something off the shelves!"
