The 49 best markets in Auckland

I love the Grey Lynn markets. I like the small village feel it has. There is a honey seller that I go to and a organic milk van that is delicious. Fresh vege's are available and there's space to sit down within the community building outside. I recommend visiting the markets on a Sunday morning!

I think maybe farmers market is the wrong label for this market. It is a very small market which is fine but there isn’t much farmers produce other then maybe 1 stall with little variety. I think it is still nice for the community to come together but the title of farmers market feels misleading. I also did not like how half the “stalls” were just people from different parties heckling you about the upcoming election. It felt a bit uncomfortable to be stopped and yelled at by three different people pushing a flier in your face as you tried to walk around.

Yes,it's very very small, but they have the best kale in all farmer market in Auckland. kale,thin and crispy!

Such a wonderful market, everyone is smiling, veggies and fruit galore, juices, cheese, avocados, jams, reusable items, breads and cakes, even seedlings and veggies to grow in your own garden!!!! And coffee round the corner! What else can we ask for !

Small market Organic fruit and veg Bread and butter bakery was lovely

Fresh oysters and smoked fish

Great little market with quality authentic home made foods.

It is a clean and busy Sunday market with plenty of stalls to visit. We've enjoyed trying all sort of snacks during our visit 😋 You should check it out if you are in the area 😁

Lovely Atmosphere and Great Artisan Finds! A really pleasant Sunday market with a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. It's set up along a modern paved walkway which is lovely to stroll through. There's a great selection of stalls selling all sorts of artisan goods and unique items. I saw lots of beautiful handmade jewellery, pet accessories, plants, and more, alongside several tempting food stalls. It's worth noting that, at least during my winter visit, there weren't many fresh vegetable stalls, so it's perhaps more of a craft and food market at this time of year. For parking, I was lucky to find a spot on Hurstmere Road, but be aware that it has time limits. If you plan on staying for a while to explore, you might want to look for a car park with longer-stay options. The location is excellent, with plenty of coffee shops nearby to grab a drink or breakfast. Overall, a great way to spend a Sunday morning!

Love the vibrant energy here on a Sunday! You can browse all sorts of interesting things, and the prices are fantas

Great market with food & trinkets, clothes or other market stalls options.

Beautiful views calm atmosphere and close by eaterys and bars i had an awesome manuka honey ice cream from the store right by the beach I cant wait to take the wife back for a stroll around the area

This Sunday market, with nearly 30 years of history, is always bustling with activity every Sunday. You can come here to have breakfast and enjoy affordable, high-quality goods.

Very good and not too much people. Great potion and cheap

Parnell Market in Auckland offers a great variety of fresh produce and interesting food stalls. While the vegetables are fresh, the prices are not cheap. The Turkish stall is a highlight, serving delicious savoury flatbreads and snacks. Be sure to visit between morning and noon, as the market closes around 2pm. It's a wonderful spot for food enthusiasts!

Had the pizza here — no frills, and very good! The pizza was simple, honest, and done right. No unnecessary extras — just great flavor, a crisp base, and quality ingredients. Sometimes, less really is more. Would definitely come back!

This farmers market is on the smaller side, but there’s definitely an abundance of fresh produce available for purchase, along with some delicious-looking baked goods that are hard to resist. While everything looked high quality and beautifully presented, the prices were quite steep — we picked up a small jar of homemade Indian cashew dip for $17, which felt a quite pricey. Overall, it’s a nice spot for a quick walk-through experience and to support local vendors, but it might not be the most budget-friendly market around.

My favourite hangout every Saturday morning. Besides fresh spray free veggies and fruits, there are varieties from fresh coffee, pastries, pizza, popcorn and many other stalls, including homemade creative stuff. Locates just right behind Parnell library, using existing carpark for the setup. Very clean and organised. The stall owners are very friendly too.

Parnell Farmers' Market – Where Broccoli Meets Boujee Vibes 🥦🧁☕ Every Saturday like clockwork, this lil’ market pops off behind the Parnell Community Centre, a chill spot where veggies, pies, and people-watching collide. Street parking? Free on weekends. Big W. Crowds? Yeah, they show up but you won’t get trampled unless you try stealing someone’s samosa. Stalls? Stacked. You got pizza, pies, Indian food, vegan bites, popcorn, coffee — enough to make your stomach say “bring it on.” 💸 Prices? Not dirt cheap, but not robbery either. Classic Auckland-level average. 🪑 Tables and chairs? Limited. You sit, you win. 🚻 Toilets? Maybe inside the hall if not, good luck and strong bladder vibes. Starts early, wraps by 12PM (don’t listen to that one guy who thinks it's open till 2). Overall: solid vibes, great morning stroll, and good food if you beat the brunch crowd. “Logan was here — with one hand on coffee, the other on a samosa.” ☕🥟

I usually enjoy shopping at Parnell Market and have always been satisfied with the fresh products. However, this time I was disappointed. I bought some Envy apples from an Asian lady’s booth in the middle section of the market, but when I got home and cut them open, they were not in good condition. I chose Envy apples because I expected them to be delicious, so it was quite upsetting. I hope this was just an isolated case, as I really appreciate the quality of the market overall.

1st time here and I am loving the vibe of it already. Everyone there is very lovely and the market vibe is lively ❤ $4 for a 720ml fresh bottle of milk? Thats well worth the price , make sure to buy jersey girl organic ones. I can't really drink milk but I have no problem with this, that says a lot about the freshness of it innit? There's also quite a variety of selections for bake and pastries goods there too. The owner of Philippe's Patisserie is a very cheerful and welcoming guy, bought a raspberry Danish from him and it was good😋

A great place, but come early like before 9am .... Fruits, veggies are really cheap but check and compare prices as they are surprisingly different from stall to stall !

Great market. Very high standard. Fantastic food stalls

Good fresh produce, seafood, and food to ready to eat. Brought a seafood fritter for $12, added an egg for an extra $2, and a BBQ squid for $5. The market can get busy. All sorts sold here knock off merchandise, second-hand goods, clothes, and accessories. Lovely fragrance coconut oil can be purchased here. Lemon grass and lime are good for mosquitoes.

Too good! Love the Saturday morning vibes, the fresh flowers, fruits and veges is amazing and the prices so cheap. Its definitely a must do if you've never been there before.

Did not disappoint! Such a friendly vibe! Fresh produce 💯! Halal stores, vegan and plentiful fresh seafood. So much happiness in my belly today! Glad we put Otara Market as a must visit! Arrived at 7.30am & left 11am with so much! Get in early for fresh hot donuts & delicious potato salad - cook island, Manaui👌🏽

Great variety of food, fresh produce and miscellaneous items for sale. We were here at 10 and the place was packed with both people and vehicles, so do come early to get a parking spot. Some stalls sell out early so it pays to visit early. Will definitely come back for the food, especially for the otai!

My go to every Saturday morning, go early , I usually am there 6.30, for a close park to get my fruit and vege, best place for it, pak n save cant even compare to the produce they have here, always a win

Really nice market with heaps of different vendors. Great location and good vibes. We always go early about 9.30am (market opens at 10am) - otherwise it's really difficult to find a carpark. Picture 3 is Ma Keto Kitchen by Maja! Great place for keto sweets if you're into the keto world. Recommend it 👌

Love the market. Sooo good to see it back. Was super busy. Not sure I've seen it as busy as today. The scouts though did an amazing job of getting everyone a parking space and creating safe walkways for pedestrians. Great live music and wonderful food choices. My fav is the bread puffs. Go for the harissa option.

An awesome place to spend a whole day with family. Live music, lots of booths, plenty of food, beer, coffee, etc.

Great market, away from the bustles of city life. Nice mixture of food and craft stalls. Ample parking at rear paddock. Some nice places to check out afterwards - Hallertau, The Pie Shop, The Beer Spot, Gourmet Gannet.

Awesome market, had a great time. A lot for food stalls with plenty of options. We got there early so we had a lot of time to walk around slowly and take a look at all the amazing crafts and products sold.

Awesome market, great food, with local produce stalls and other locally made products - definitely worth a visit...

Great selection of stalls and food , quite a better lay out than most markets as they had adequate space between each rows to alow people to look but also people to walk by, the vendors were awesome aswell and had some incredible food too that I haven't seen so far anywhere else, highly recommend the kpork truck 😀

I simply love , spaciousness, fresh air, organic foods , coffee . Community, great music, Turkish food, herbs and high end pastrys, and customers, Dog friendly

A bit small. But some great stalls. Everything is great quality Love the coffee and pickles from the preserves lady.

Very atmospheric little market, great stalls with interesting food, good variety of veggies. However, most things are quite overpriced.

Great little spot to score delicious treats! We love buying our weekly veges from one of the organic / spray free stalls and letting our little boy have a run around the grounds 🥬

So much delicious artisan food. Unfortunately many sellers have no way to serve things warmed. But there is a great range of delicious treats, catering for vegetarians and gluten free to name a few .

Nice market. Fresh fruit & veg, live music, nice food. My favourite stall is the sweet lady with her home made relishes and jams, adore her grapefruit marmalade.

So nice a weekly event! It's small and cosy. The food stalls are amazing. The live music, relaxed. A great Saturday morning activity for families and friends. I personally loved the baked goods, the produce and the crepe stand. Not to forget tge coffee was amazing too. Oh! And there was also this turkish stand who sells tasty hummus.

Open from 3pm-10pm every weekend in Wynyard Quarter. Not as many stalls as other night markets and a lot of duplicate stalls I noticed which is a bit odd. I've tried the Chinese food stall, crepe, bubble waffle, sundae and Chinese pancake. Not a fan of the crepes as it isn't in the French style. The Biscoff sundae (from the crepe stall) was very average - there were some really stale chocolate biscuit things at the bottom of my sundae which I just threw away. I had the bubble waffle with chocolate ice and banana but the bananas weren't fully ripe as they were a bit crunchy. The actual waffle was good though. There's bit of a wait at some of the stalls but it depends on how busy/popular they are. Recently had the pork pancake and it was quite good and the monster bubble waffle which was OK. The cream wasn't fresh but the strawberries were although they weren't that ripe. Also tried a pork bun, fried dumplings and fries which were all fine. Tried the nachos at what looked like a new taco stand. It wasn't amazing, a bit bland and went cold super quick so am not sure if I'd order from here again and it was overpriced. Ordered a hot chocolate from a stall that sold Korean desserts and it was good. Looking forward to trying the desserts next time. The brisket stall was pretty good. There was also a taco stand but when I ordered the nachos from it they were so dry and lacked flavour so won't be ordering from there again. The custard and taro buns are really good so try them out for sure.

A great night market in Auckland near the park. Many different booths that sells different type of cuisine.

This is actually pretty nice. Been there a few times, found only randomly passing by, and I must say, it's a nice vibe. Not crowed, just good busy; food is delicious, with a range of Asian options from different businesses, unexpended, and very easy going atmosphere. I think this is to me a recommended place in the city.

The venders are amazing but the staff running the market are very rude. Came in a large truck and staff was already yelling and screaming that venders can’t park here, even tho I came as a customer. When going in Victoria was screaming at me thinking I was still a vendor and after trying to explain I’m a customer she wouldn’t listen. Take your time and money else where as she treats everyone like this.

The vendors are good but very few. The market management needs to encourage more vendors to participate. This can make it a fun outing.

Underrated, hardly any stalls. The Dubai chocolate strawberries were amaaazing - saving grace. Would go back just for those

It's another night market but with limited all be it a good selection of foods. No general merchandise stands though.

A must-visit for food lovers and market enthusiasts. The Britomart Saturday Market is an absolute gem in the heart of the city. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a vibrant atmosphere, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and an amazing selection of artisan goods and delicious street food. The variety of stalls was impressive—everything from organic fruits and vegetables to handcrafted cheeses, baked goods, and international cuisine. I particularly loved the fresh pastries! The vendors were friendly and passionate about their products, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The location is fantastic—right in Britomart, so it was easy to get to and surrounded by great cafes and shops. Whether you are looking for a relaxed weekend outing, high-quality local offerings, or just some delicious treats, this market is well worth a visit. I will definitely be coming back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended.

A great little Saturday market in the middle of the CBD. There’s a good variety of food stalls representing many different cuisines and cultures, as well as some interesting goods. A couple of highlights for us were the Spanish paella (by Gilda) and the smoked fish guy (who’s been smoking fish for 50 years!). Their foods were absolute standouts. A sign of a good market is that we left stuffed and I immediately needed a nap upon finding my couch. 🤣

Petite and Dainty That is the best word to describe this place. And personally, I am sure that there is so much potential and room for improvement. Since the Public Carpark is only a few minutes in walking distance (very pricey for weekends), there are stalls selling food and stuff; it should be able to attract more people. Furthermore, the location is right at CBD, a great location for people to hang and chill. It would be great to see an increase in the number of stalls. Anyway, we drove more than half an hour to have breakfast at Britomart Saturday Market and we were mostly Not disappointed. We ordered a few items and basically, we ordered almost everything in the market. Bob's Burgers - 2 young fella running this stall selling burger. We ordered two Breakfast Burger because my wife and I love bacon. However, we both have different favourite sauces and I love mustard. According to my children, my tasted better. I must also mention that the beef tasted good and juicy. This stall deserve 4 stars ratings. Gourmet Hotdogs - A moving food trailer that has wheels. Again, we ordered Original Dog and Chilli Cheese Dog. I loved the Chilli Cheese Dog. It gives a whole different gastronomical pleasure when the dog is drown with Chilli. Then my son would not settle for just one dog and he ordered a German Jumbo and it was heavenly. For that last dog, I gave another well deserving 4 stars ratings. Chic Kin - What can I say about fried chicken? It is deep fried stuff, what's not to like about an unhealthy deep fried stuff. But, the fried chicken are fried a little too long and therefore becoming a little too hard. The sweet Korean Chilli really makes some improvement however, I can only give this stall 3 stars. Mussel Fritters - We ordered a Mussel Fritter and Seafood Fritter. This something close to home in Asia. The Mussel Fritter is great but the Seafood Fritter, is not really appetizing as the fish is really hard. I ordered extra eggs and I make sure that it is runny. I was really hoping that the eggs are fried on the Fritters rather than separate. A four stars for the Mussel Fritters. . . Finally Coffee - As a coffee lover, I have very high expectation in what I drink. Bought a little cinamon bread and coffee (Americano). I like the friendliness of the service by a very young fella. He asked me which I preferred, Bohemian Rapsody or Stairway to Heaven and I chose the latter. But really I prefer Hotel California. Anyway, the coffee was not great and I will give them 4 stars for service and 2 stars for Coffee. I will come back again and hopefully there will be more stalls added. I particularly like the live singing. The violinist is superb and blended so well with the guitarist and singing.

Fantastic market, great selection of food and wares. First time I ate till I burst and spent a lot of money. Live music and great vibes.

Some lovely stalls here. The food stalls looked delicious. There was lots to choice, from organic coffee to Caribbean food. There was lots of baked goods stalls, beautiful flower stalls and crafted items.

Living 5 minutes walk from this market makes it a bonus. It is busy every Saturday and there are so many great stalls. There are sometimes different stalls from week to week which makes it even more attractive. And there are the regulars ... you have to try Tulay's Turkish food, it's sensational. The Japanese burgers are amazing as well. And try some of the dumplings from any of the stalls and they are as good as anywhere you will find in the City. Then there are all the other food stalls offering a huge variety of food and beverage options including some amazing bakery options. Don't forget to try the organic coffee while you are there, well worth making the effort.

Standard market. Good location if weather is good. Sad to see so many stalls selling the exact items you can get from Temu cheaper.

One of the best market/cafe/bistro/shop. I've been at! They have a number of varied stalls to choose from, with good seating capacity-- although it gets filled up quickly, especially in Sundays. My favourites: - they serve the BEST coffee (Gravity beans). There's always a long line of people, waiting for their morning coffee fix ☕ - Tahsin's Market - sells the BEST hummus with so much variety. You can try to sample first before you buy, but everything is so good you'll end up getting confused on which to get 😅 It's typically $5 per tub, but when we went the next day, it was $10 for 3 tubs. Not sure if that's a usual discount, but make sure to take advantage of that - Paella Pan - there's usually a line here as well because of the delicious paella! I know rice in the morning is pretty heavy but so worth it. The guy cooking/serving is also quite nice so that's a plus. $15 for a small serving (good for 1-2), $18 for large (good for 2-3 people) - French Crepes - sweet ending after eating so much savoury food ❤ La Cigale is definitely a must try! 😍

Interesting market and dined at the La Cigale Bistro during the market’s 21 birthday. Little hard to find tables initially but once we settle down it’s a great place to sample some great food 🥪🥘, do some people (and dog) watching and take home some crusty burgettes🥖🥖!! If you want to explore Parnell further, on a sunny day🌞, recommend that you visit the market, then walk to the Roses Garden🌹🌹and drop by the little inner-city forgotten paradise at Judges Bay reserve 😊...

Absolutely loved the French markets. Some great food outlets they have a great coffee selection inside and out. A good time to go is about midday on a Sunday an hour before it closes is a few vendors have specials like the Turkish guy was is hummus selection. Also they have a great range of organic vegetables.

It’s not a French market, there are products from everywhere which is nice to see. I went there with the kids and we all found something different to eat. It is quite pricey for a market but it has nice atmosphere. Best stall for me was the doggy treats!

Very poor experience at the cheese shop, the staff was very rude and just focused on getting you to buy things. They didn’t give us the right information so we had to leave after purchasing over 75 dollars in cheese and bread because we were not allowed to drink the bottle of wine we took outside. They didn’t explain clearly the type of license they got so we ended up in living. The market is lovely, if you can I would rather spend my money in the other stands rather than the cheese shop inside.

The weekend markets are the buzz of Parnell, where people come to meet friends, get their weekly produce, and try some amazing foods. Featuring large open spaces, unique decor and frequent live performances. There is a full time cafe and a healthy food shops around. The food here is pretty great, especially the baked goods..worth a visit!

Love the variety and wide selection of food and drinks sold here. The ambiance is so relaxed even with the crowds. Such a cool food market. They open early on weekends until around 2pm if i'm not mistaken, so can get breakfast or lunch here and some souvenirs, clothes etc other than the food.

Very nice on a sunny day. Beautiful people but prices not so much.

So convenient for me as I literally live up the road - the food stalls tend to be different sometimes from month to month but there are options for sure. Sweet As Crepes is my fave as is the doughnut stall. I've yet to try the stall that sells beignets so hope that'll be there next time I go. I've also been meaning to buy veges too so next time will need to take my grocery bag so that I can do a shop. The bread stall is also great and I think there tends to be two of those and I always get a fresh loaf or two and a French pastry. A new Filipino stall opened over the weekend this September called The Hub Eat and I strongly recommend you check it out! All the stalls accept card payment now so need to worry about ensuring that you have cash on hand. I hope they extend to an all day market at some point in the future. Was here last Sat and made a beeline for the Turkish food tent! Must be new because it wasn't there the last time I was here. Hands down the best falafel I've ever had and I'm probably going to go tomorrow so hoping I can get it again. Also ordered the lamb gözleme and it was good but didn't have enough lamb mince.

A great way to spend a Saturday morning. Great vendors, interesting stalls and a great vibe 🙂

On a sunny weekend day this is the best place to be in Auckland City CBD. Lots of food vendors, music and a grass square.

More like a souvenir shop than a farmers market. Fresh produce growing less and less. Someone is trying to default Auckland city as a gaudy unless attempt at modernization.

Visited the Saturday market with my sister's there was so much to offer from burgers, fritters, doughnuts to crafted soaps, hair ties to jewelry even fresh bouquet of flowers for guests to purchase. Honestly there was something for everyone's taste, and I definitely recommend you all take a look if you haven't already.

Expected more stands to be there but it was really nice! Perfect for tourists to see some local food and other products.

Heard alot about this market so decided to visit. So many food options available, so many stalls of different companies from different countries. Everywhere food, food, food😍. Chinese, japanese, Mediterranean, arabian, italian, and many more. Their are veg and non-veg options available. Loved it. So, tried some of the veg options available. Taste of the food was okay. Expensive. Thank you.

There was lots food corner with lots people on the other hand they seems to need lots diversity as most was Asian food. Just I enjoyed Korea food andthen France dessert. Both are lovely.

DON’T GO!! The Sunday market held in silo park is a CHINESE market! 90% of the shops over there are owned by the Chinese and selling Chinese food!! One of the shop is even selling the Hong Kong signature takeaway food 兩餸飯！ Also, very bad arrangement, you need to wait sooooo long for ordering AND getting your food! Definitely not a place for tourists and if you don’t like the Chinese.

Think the night market is there on every Saturday night. Just happened I bumped into this night market when I was wondering around Auckland after I just touched down. Decided to walk around the market, and to be honest, I'm quite amazed. They have varies of foods over there, Chinese, French, Korea, Japanese so you should come here and try if you are a food lover. And the price is cheap too! Recommended!

This is the last day of my working holiday in New Zealand. Come to this evening market. Compare other markets. This may be a little smaller. But the quality of food is the best compared to this place.

Great place, nice vibes. Stop here every other week for a walk, and some street food. Good ambience towards the later part of the night with some good live music. Benches and tables to sit on.

Abit smaller than I expected, but it was good to taste various types of food. The price 5-15, some of them feel really cheap but others just similar like restraunt or takeaway shops.

The Pakuranga Night Market is a vibrant hub of activity, with plenty of merchandise stalls to explore. However, the real highlight is the food! The sheer number of food stalls is overwhelming (in the best way possible). There’s such a wide variety of options that it’s impossible to try everything in one visit—you’ll definitely want to come back for more. The selection is diverse, the prices are reasonable, and the flavors are delicious. A must-visit for food lovers!

super excited for night market at Pakuranga . So many verifiable foods and cuisines. The price tag is very affordable. BBQ lamb are the best . Definitely 💯 worth to go. 🚗 carpark is limited

“Saturday Night Secret: Pakuranga’s Underground Food Fest” Pakuranga Night Market only opens on Saturday evenings — tucked underground below the Pakuranga Mall parking lot like a secret foodie lair. You’ll find plenty of Asian food choices: Chinese, Korean, African, and more. There’s even fresh veggies if you’re feeling healthy, plus cheap pyjamas and a nail spa for anyone wanting a budget mani (quality unknown, I didn’t test my nails’ fate). Tried some food — not quite the authentic blast I get back in Malaysia, but hey, still good enough to keep this Malaysian happy and well-fed far from home. It’s no giant Malaysian night market with hundreds of stalls, but still worth the visit if you want a Saturday evening adventure. The place is clean and dry, with a nearby toilet (important!). Overall, a solid experience — and perfect if you want to soak up some local flavor without the massive crowds. “Logan was here… hunting for food, pyjamas, and maybe a manicure.”

Such an awesome experience. The vibe was it from the second of arrival. The food, deserts, and beverages were so delish, and very creative. Along with the retail market of the other side. A great bang for our buck. Very kid friendly our 2 girls loved it the whole market. Parking was good also.

Really great vibes here but there’s a lot of smoke being a night food market in a parking lot with the occasional items being sold underground. The food variety is quite large and I would recommend doing a round before deciding on what to get. I recommend trying some of the filipino food and the takoyaki if you’re after something light. Parking can also get a bit tricky so will require some patience.

Only opens in a Saturday evenings. Great place to find a great variety of foods at one place. Many Asian delights from Korean, Japanese, India, Chinese, Filipino. Desserts are a plentiful too. For me as a Chinese, i have many choices of selection. Western delights such as ice cream, corn-dogs, churros, donuts, part of this party

Great prices and great food. A lot of parking too. I recommend walking around the whole area before buying anything because there are some good deals around.

Beautifully constructed station in the heart of the city. Official name: Waitematā Railway Station. It was officially renamed from “Britomart Station” in September 2025.  • It’s located in the Auckland CBD (central business district), down by the waterfront, on reclaimed land near Waitematā Harbour.  • The station is integrated with a bus interchange and is close to the ferry terminal — making it a major transport hub.  ⸻ Structure & Facilities • The station is partly underground; platforms are beneath. The historic Chief Post Office (CPO) building is used as the main entrance.  • There are multiple entrances: the main via the CPO, plus an eastern entrance via Takutai Square (Britomart Place).  • Access via escalators/stairs/lifts, gates (ticket gates), ticket machines, customer service centre.  ⸻ Services & What’s Changing • It currently serves most of Auckland’s suburban train lines (Eastern, Southern, Western lines).  • City Rail Link (CRL) project is underway. This will convert Waitematā from a dead-end terminus into a through station with tunnels under Albert Street. That will enable more frequent trains and through services. The CRL is expected to open in 2026.  • As part of these works, platform layout is being changed (from 5 to 4 platforms), and the two outer ones will connect to the new tunnels.  ⸻ Name & Meaning • The name Waitematā is a gifted name from mana whenua (local Māori authorities).  • The name refers to the nearby Waitematā Harbour. It can be interpreted as meaning flat, glassy waters (likened to obsidian “matā”) or to a Māori ancestor who placed a talisman in the harbour.

The Britomart shopping area and Waitemata train station are great places to spend a ton of time right in downtown Auckland. The station is huge, clean, and has clear signage for planning out a trip and figuring out which platform to stand on. At street level are lots of places to grab a bite, shop, or just sit and relax. If you get the opportunity to go during the Saturday market then you should! There are lots of shops, plenty of food (much of which I was unable to find elsewhere), and an overwhelmingly friendly atmosphere. Certainly a great place to stay near while visiting Auckland.

First time to Auckland Railway Station as I'm an out of towner. It was pretty cool as railway stations go and leans toward that 'old station vibe' but with a touch of modern. Very clean and tidy and no shortage of helpful happy staff. The train itself was comfortable, clean, and well presented. However, it is not a match in any way to the beautiful old Auckland Railway Station.

Wonderful place to visit. Perhaps, one of the most beautiful train station I have ever visited.

Lots of directions and the staff were helpful. Lots of shops and places to find food. Awesome piano, I was lucky there was a member of the public playing it beautifully when I was there.

I was so so confused with Auckland public transport lol but just ask around and they'll help you out. The train was super enjoyable to ride on. An staff here helped me with my confusion. I still have no idea how much it cost me to catch that train though 😂

Such a beautiful space with some cool bars, really diverse but amazing eateries and there's some nice places to sit outside to people watch while eating your lunch. The new-ish shopping centre also has some amazing stores and eateries. All on the waterfront where you can cross Quay Street and catch ferries to Waiheke, Rangitoto or Devonport.

You can find everything here, from vegetables, clothing, food, tools, and many more, at a cheaper price. ✅ Parking ($3 per entry - you can always try roadside parking) ✅ Portable Toilet ✅ Dogs allowed ✅ Asian vegetables ❌ EFTPOS (limited stalls accept card) ❌ Water fountain/drinking water TIPS: 1. It gets packed at around 10 am. 2. Prefer to bring cash - there's a cash-out booth available. 3. Come by before closing (12nn to 1 pm) to get further discounts, especially on the produce. 4. Don't buy the first thing you see; roam around the compound, and you'll likely find a cheaper one. 5. Bring shopping bags or 'the portable trolley' Summary: Great place to shop! Recommended!

Where I shop for groceries for my family every Sunday. The food here is very fresh, delicious. The atmosphere is fun and bustling.

Great place to shop cheap produce and random items haha they price drop before the market ends but obviously not the best lot left but still a lot of deals throughout the market regardless of time. Recommend walking around and checking out the prices if you're wanting the cheapest price as some price more for the same thing

You can get all sorts of things including vegetables, seafood. Prices are very reasonable. Better be done shopping for the whole week. Hard to find a parking spot as it was super crowded.

Date of visit: 19th October (Sunday) I went to buy 30 organic eggs and paid $15. After I paid, the egg seller immediately wrapped the eggs and handed them to us — I didn’t get a chance to check the quality. Since we’ve been their customer for a while, I trusted everything would be fine. However, once we got home and unpacked, I was shocked to see that 28 out of 30 eggs had cracked shells. This was really disappointing, especially since we’ve always supported this seller. I tried to find her contact details but couldn’t. She’s a Chinese egg seller who sells different types of eggs — I believe she’s the only one there. If anyone has her contact, please let me know. I really hope the seller checks her stock quality more carefully in the future.

The best ever fresh market you could visit in New Zealand! The produce is incredibly fresh, the selection is amazing, and the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. A must-stop for anyone who loves top-quality fruits, vegetables, and local goodies.

Best fruits and veggies market in town, extremely reasonable prices, for about $50 you can get 2xweeks stuff. Crowded always so better avoid peak hours 9 am to 11 am. The good part is they have plenty of parking only for $3 but just need to patiently wait for the queue. Gotta carry shopping bags. If you are going around the closing time, you would still have plenty of stuff available. Very kind and helpfull vendors.

Nice enough market, with a bit of everything. We were just very surprised at how small it was. Nice atmosphere though.

Great place to visit on Friday. Chicken nachos over here is to die for. The pizza is amazing. Sometimes there is live music, and beer and wine on tap. Definitely a worthy place to spend an evening with your better half.

Best margherita pizza I have tried in Auckland so far. Will keep coming back just for Napoli Central on Friday nights. The market is undercover so wet weather is not an issue. The Saturday farmers market is great too.

Tried food from 3 of the stalls. Food was just outright disgusting. The pizzas took over an hour and were barely edible. Totally disappointing considering it has such great reviews 😭.

Lovely atmosphere, live music and family friendly place. The food was amazing but quite pricey. Bring cash along as most stalls do not have eftpos. There is an atm onsite.

Some great quality food here. Not your usual suspects. A little gormet. Craft beer and organic wine available. Cash only however there is a money machine on-site.

Great little local market. It's a must to visit Harmony Butchers any time we're having a BBQ. The meat is delicious, great cuts and such a fabulous price!

Best market in town , great food , great art an crafts , wonderful atmosphere, get together once a month . Every third Sunday of each

I love this market. It's only small &, today because the weather forecast was really bad, all the outside stalls were canceled. Was a real shame cos weather was beautiful. Bt there is always a country atmosphere here & all stallholders are friendly & I always have dome good conversations. The food is good & had a lovely young lady singing today. Would always choose over Kumeu market, not meaning to take anything away from Kumeu. I like to support the smaller markets.

Very friendly locals. Has an awesome (some would say legendary) local fish and chip shop. The pub does generous size meals and are very good quality.

Already rated on hall review .the words simply awesome describes this from friendly helpful stall holders to great quality an variety.pity it's only monthly well worth a visit

Nice festive market

Great little village. Definitely worth a stop for a massive ice cream at the dairy or some of the best burgers around at Shark n Tatties. Awesome community spirit.

Not a lot there. General Store, Fish n Chips , Hairdresser and Gas Station over the railway lines. Public toilets way down the road by the Fire station.

A great place to find almost anything you need - at great prices. Not just fresh vegetables - there’s abundant variety of these and lots of options. It’s a big market, so walking towards the rear can give you better prices. Rugs/carpets/toys/small electronics/tools/car tools and what not. Of course, also delicious snacks from mobile vans.

Awww what a fantastic market! Exceptionally good value for Fresh Produce. The most beautiful large bunches of Fresh Coriander I've ever seen. Fantastic prices for Socks, Caps, Beanies, Mobile Holders, so many bargains there.

An amazing market for fresh produce, kitchenware, tools, clothes, second hand gear etc. Usually quite busy and crowded. Friendly place.

Check out bettsonwoods for coffee tables and artwork

This use to be the place I adored on a crisp Sunday morning as a child. However; as an adult it lacks the same character it once had in the late 90s and early 2000s. Minimal shops; too much of the same items sold and below average food. What happened? Where are the fun rides? Where are the cool car boot sale type sales people? I hope that more people come to sell the more out of ordinary items and this market gets back to what it once was.

Went here for the first time today. Had $5 left in my pocket. Stopped at a fruit stall with an island lady serving. Asked if she could give me $5 worth of bananas even if it was for two bananas I would be happy. She didn't give us $5 worth of bananas but a whole bag full to the brim of bananas. I was slightly embarrassed but so grateful to that stall owner. Thank you so much. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars for this stall holder with the island lady that was selling $1.79kg of bananas. God bless 💗

Awesome as, Brilliant place for good deals, clothes, electronics, Food, etcetera, Every Sunday, Highly recommended for friends and family. Tip: Its Better to get there nice and early.

A bustling Friday night market with a great selection of food, coffee, beers and crafts. Compact and sited in the carpark so access is easy and suitable for those with mobility issues. Very popular and often very busy. Well worth a visit.

I would recommend the handmade dumplings, and the wood fire pizza. They are worth the price in my opinion. Some things were overpriced though, like the 'organic' gelato ice cream. A tiny kiddie cone cost 5 bucks! There is a much better ice cream shop across the street (not part of night markets).

Has to be one of the best in Auckland. Always a great family night out with artisan stalls, DJ music playing in the park and many gourmet food trucks offering lots of vegetarian options and less of the usual fried foods..

Very busy so get in early before all the best trucks sell out. I found this to get a great make with upmarket food trucks offering a great range of different food. It’s a must visit!

Great selection of food. Awesome vegan and panang dumplings, philippino food, and sweet treats like giant smores and key lime pie. Food vibe with live music and various art and craft stalls

Enjoyed the variety of international cuisines available. I'll be back for sure. Paella Pan's seafood paella is so good!

Every great community has a night market and this one is great to enjoy some dinner and drinks in the sun through summer.

Iconic Museum in Auckland and an absolute must see ! My highlight was the Vulcano simulator 🌋 You can easily spend 3-4 hours here and all floors host tranquil exhibitions. The team is excellent and will help you with all your questions. The cafeteria is nice and there is also a very popular cafeteria ☕️ I can highly recommend to go there !

I would say this museum offers some of the best exhibitions in New Zealand. It features a wonderful collection showcasing Māori art, culture, and New Zealand history- from artefacts, paintings, and carvings to impressive life-sized pieces like the Māori waka (traditional canoe). The museum has also hosted incredible showcases such as the Guo Pei exhibition and, more recently, the DIVA exhibition in collaboration with the V&A in the UK. I travelled all the way from Wellington just to see DIVA! Tickets are reasonably priced (around $25) and include headsets, which is a great touch. The building itself is beautifully designed with sweeping ceilings and a bright, welcoming foyer that houses a café, restaurant, ticket counter, and access to toilets, a drinking fountain, and exhibition spaces. The layout is accessible and easy to navigate, and the facilities (including the toilets) are clean and well maintained. There’s also two floors of undercover parking located downstairs, accessible via lift. Parking payment is made at kiosks by card.

I highly recommend the Māori experience! It’s not a show but a sharing of culture. So don’t expect a long form of entertainment. I really enjoyed being part of it and being able to ask questions afterwards. The museum itself had a lot of items from many different wars and countries! It was interesting to see whole fighter planes up close! I’m only a bit disappointed that the main Māori exhibit is closed at the moment but it was definitely an informative time!

They discounted my ticket because so many exhibits were closed but I was still disappointed. I really went out of my way to get here from the cbd and there were only a couple of interesting exhibits. Further, I went here on a weekend and experienced a lot of small children screaming and running around. I believe because admission is free for locals and parents were looking for a way to occupy their children. I enjoyed the war memorial exhibition, but was disappointed parents didn’t explain to their children that the exhibit deserved a little respect. I would recommend avoiding this museum when children are not in school.

A well planned out museum for both young and old. The history of New Zealand's people both first nation and the rest are presented to us both visually and physically in items of historic value. Parking is limited especially during school holidays, weekends and public holidays. Excellent 👍 👌

What an outstanding museum! The style of the building is gorgeous. Inside you are presented with a variety of areas related to New Zealand culture and history. At the time of my visit in late August 2025 , plenty of areas were closed off hopefully by my next visit, they will be open. The highlight for me was the World War level and everything related to our past. Would recommend to anyone who can appreciate NZ history! Also note the statue of Zealandia 🤍 If visiting, you should consider a donation. Entry is free for residents of NZ with proof of identity.

I had a good experience at the war memorial museum, though it was somewhat dampened by the museum being approximately half-shuttered due to long-term repairs being made to the building and galleries. The ticket cost was reduced by 50% to compensate, which seems about right. Highlights included the Auckland exhibit, which was very colourful, progressive, and optimistic while also reflecting on more difficult parts of the past. I also really enjoyed the gallery about New Zealand’s flora and fauna. It was especially cool seeing reconstructions of giant flightless birds. WWII scholars will love the reconstructed Zero. When I went on a weekday, it was quite busy with many children, so just be aware!

We had my daughters birthday party here and hired the room which worked out to be more affordable and we were able to invite more guests. We were allowed to do our own catering which made it even better and the tour guide was amazing. Even though we were late staff were great and polite and friendly. We felt right at home. the kids loved it! The parents loved it too! So worth it.

SEA LIFE is a wonderful place to explore and learn about marine life. The aquarium is beautifully designed, clean, and very well maintained. From colourful fish to giant stingrays, penguins, and sharks swimming right above you — every moment feels magical! It’s a great place for both kids and adults, with lots of interesting displays and educational information. The penguin encounter and underwater tunnel are definitely the highlights. Staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. A must-visit attraction in Auckland for anyone who loves sea creatures and ocean adventures! 🌊🐧🐠

The aquarium overall was a pretty good experience. Great place if you love seeing penguins, turtles, sharks, jelly fish and other sea life creatures. Compared to other Sea Life we’ve been, it is smaller but it’s still a fun activity.

Best aquarium to be in! Clean out space lots of species found in aquatic animals. Best is to watch jelly fishes, nemo, dory fish, turtles, sharks underwater tunnel. Would highly recommend to visit this aquarium. Clean, hygienic, safe, food availability, washrooms facility available, lovely watching had good time been here. Totally worth it loved it ! Only if they could keep good clean space for penguins that would be great!

We enjoyed our time at the aquarium. It does get busy but we went early so it was not that busy. The "moving bridge" was awesome and the Penguins stole the show. The Jellyfish was beautiful and the underwater experience was amazing. My daughter enjoyed the VR experience as well.

Interesting place with a good variety of sea life. Enjoyed the Scott's Antarctic displays as well. It was a wet day so good to be out of the rain. Did the VR experience which was fun. Spent 8 minutes "swimming" with sharks. Another person in our group did the humpback whale experience. Manta rays was also available but no one chose it so can't comment. We all enjoyed the ones we saw. The only issue on the day was the car park is very small which was full when we got there and so had to drive out again and find limited street parking available. Ended up about 300m or so away. Not too bad but was pouring down when we got out. ☔️😠

My teenage daughter, and I, really enjoyed our visit to Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. We especially loved seeing the penguins, and the jellyfish move so gracefully! We also enjoyed the shipwreck virtual reality experience. The stingray which swam overhead in the water tunnel were huge! I very much enjoyed reading the info about Kelly Tarlton

The pear French toast was incredible! And the views, aesthetics, staff and atmosphere were amazing. Such a great spot for a walk in Auckland. They catered for dietaries and intolerances. Highly recommend. @kirbystaltari

I had such a wonderful dining experience at Kohi Beach. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a beautiful view that made the evening feel special from the very beginning. The food was excellent – everything was fresh and well prepared, and the steak was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly to my liking. What truly stood out, however, was the service. A big thank you to Zoey and Denise, who looked after us with such kindness and professionalism. They were attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at the right moment, and they made us feel genuinely welcome even when the restaurant was busy. Their positive attitude and friendly smiles added so much to the overall experience. Kohi Beach is definitely a place I would recommend for both the food and the service. I’ll be looking forward to coming back again soon!

The chicken and the lamb were so tender and well cooked. We also loved the ceviche. Lovely atmosphere, just off the beach, and great service.

29/09 @ 1000H The front of the house person was unfriendly. People behind the counter will just stare at you. Unapproachable and makes you don’t wanna stay there. Lady barista was OK. Could’ve been a good place to catch up with mate tbh but we end up staying on a bench beside beach path.

We arrived just before 7 am while they were setting up, but happily accomodated us. We had a lovely front corner table with beautiful views of the bay. Certainly the very best menu we'd seen during our weekend in Auckland and by far the best service we've encountered for a while. My Americano with cream was perfect and I had a nutty granola with rhubarb and rose compote, greek yogurt and kiwifruit. Delicious! My companion enjoyed her Earl Gray tea and mushrooms and spinach. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, chatty but not dominating and we certainly enjoyed our breakfast this morning. Thanks very much.

The Asian lady in the cashier and the barista was rude on 21 Jun Saturday 25. Was taking my parents from overseas to enjoy this coffee shop and had a really bad experience from these 2 ladies. Never coming back. There are plenty of coffee shops with friendly staff, definitely don’t need this experience. The only person was kind was the the ice cream lady

Delicious food, very well presented, good portions other than the avocado on toast with poached egg - while tasty and looking good small relative to other dishes. Excellent service. Beautiful outside by sea. Went back two days later, for great coffee. The gelato is very good too.

Great little market on every Saturday and Sunday. Some great crafts beautiful food and the best fish supplier in Auckland by far at North Harbour Fish Market in the main pavilion. Some lovely walks in the area and great restaurants. You can drive there easily on the norwestern or ferry over from Beach Haven or the city. A real gem!

A lovely farmers market filled with food, craft & retail stores, flowers, groceries and butchery/seafood. Parking is available. Limited tables but the wharf has some open benches.

This is my first time visiting the Saturday/Sunday morning market at Hobsonville. I went with my partner for a morning date to enjoy coffee and breakfast, and it was worth it. Parking was a bit challenging, but the place was easy to find. The entrance stairs were beautiful, and the view of the bay was stunning. There were many couples and families with kids walking their dogs and enjoying coffee. Inside, there were plenty of food options. Our main goal was to try the famous Egg Tart (Portuguese Tart), and we loved it - there was a queue at the entrance of the bakery café. After the egg tarts and coffees, we tried several other food options: Pork skewers with sticky rice and Vietnamese noodles. I enjoyed having them in this market. There was also a shop selling dried flowers in the market - my partner likes them, and I could give them as a gift right there. Overall, it was a satisfying morning walk/date for both of us. I highly recommend visiting this place if you haven't already.

Good atmosphere and nice walking track! I love the wood-fire pizza and pastries.

Good breads and coffee. And a wonderful walkway nearby to track and take photos.

The market has some amazing food options and breads to try. On top of that it is pet friendly.

We took the ferry from the city to Hobsonville, and it was a pretty calm ride. The market itself was a little smaller than I was expecting, but it did not disappoint. I spent a little too much money there, which is probably a good endorsement. There are plenty of great food stalls, and interesting little craft-type places to shop at. We went for a walk around the coastal track, though with the building going on, it's not all open.

Succulent, perfectly cooked market fish with light crispy batter. The best Auckland city fish & chips I’ve had. However - the salt & pepper squid meal was a big disappointment… perfectly cooked fresh squid with a lovely salad & fresh crispy fries… but the coating on the squid made it inedible for me… it overpowered the delicate flavour of the squid with an almost Cajun profile. It was like squid in KFC batter. I really couldn’t get through it. I appreciated the quality of the seafood and excellent service, as well as the lemon mayo (far superior to aioli). I would still recommend stopping in. I wish they did the fresh squid with their regular, wonderful batter.

It’s really not tasty without the dipping sauce. When I placed my order, I specifically confirmed with the lady at the store if the sauce was included, and she assured me it was. But when I got home and opened the bag, there was no sauce at all. Every review(and their website)I’ve seen, whether for takeout or dining in store, mentions getting the sauce—so why was mine missing???

Very fresh fish battered & done just right. Chips are divine. Good portions throughout. Excellent customer service!

Fantastic. I had tacos and some fish bites on the side. Everything was fried to absolute perfection, and still nice and light. The tacos were particularly nice with a very good combination of flavours.

Batter is fried just right and not too salty. Popular with locals - many order online and stop by to pick it up. Try the fish (and scallops) with a little vinegar for an authentic taste

Seafood were fresh and cooked well. I like the crumbed more than the battered for the crispy texture. Chips are crisp and tasty. I wish they have kumara or sweet potatoes ! Nice little eating place for eating in.

TSC provides restaurant-level high-quality fish and chips, especially, they provide different top choices for you, which you can change the top by breadcrumbs. I love the breadcrumbs top very much.

Way more than a bakery! Lunch is fantastic; healthy, tasty, unique. Whilst here, I saw several people popping-by for the coffee, and yes, the buns and slices from the bakery are delightful!

As a Swede living abroad, this is the real deal. They have all specialties that are expected as well as the extras - such as the semla right now for Easter! The guys are super friendly, customer service is done at a very high level and the quality of food is just the same. Give them a try as you will not be disappointed!

I am not quite a Nordic food connoisseur. But I can definitely tell the food is simply delicious. Fresh and nicely executed. Had the flat bread meat ball and the rye open sandwich venison. Highly recommended. The coffee and cinnamon bun were great too. A well deserved 5 stars.

First time trying Swedish food,and I'm already a big fan. I had the Traditional Gralax (m hovmastarsas) and the other had Swedish Prawn Mayo (skagen) both were delicious. Also had their famous Cinnamon buns they were freshly out of the oven still warm cannot get enough. Also tried their famous lollies. Friendly service as well will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Never notice this small diamond store, come from the red note recm. very nice taste, fresh bread and amazing sauce. Lovely owner~

They have the best cardamom and cinnamon buns, and the meatball sandwich is so delicious. One of my top favourites in the North Shore. They also stock their pastries in some cafes in Takapuna, Birkenhead and Glenfield.

Fresh, delicious sandwiches and unique Swedish flavors! Everything was very tasty and well-priced. A great spot for something different and satisfying.

Happens on Wednesday evenings until around 10.30/11:00 pm. Mostly a variety of cuzine from many countries. Both Savoury and Sweet food available. Quite the buzz despite it being mid week and the following day a work day

Very fun market. Noisy, crowded and smelly, just like a night market should be. They have lots of different food and drinks options, mostly Asian, and they're generally pretty good. They also have other things like nail painting, trinkets, and fresh groceries. I'm personally there for the snacks though. The only reason why it's not five stars is because it's quite expensive. Many of the items are similarly priced to if you bought them in a real store, which I was unpleasantly surprised about. I guess you go to the market for the vibes rather than the deals. There was some cool stuff though; I got a durian drink that had real durian in it, although whether that's a win or a loss depends on who you ask. I'd recommend as a fun group activity, especially for those who are less inclined to be adventurous in their eating habits 😂😂

Great food and atmosphere and plenty of food. Come and try your favourite or something new and enjoy. If you like a certain vendor, be aware that they may not be there. Visit enough times, and you'll see the usual vendors there. Good variety of food. Not all stores have prices, which I think they should. Thank you to all the ones who do. It helps consumers. 🙂 Uncle Tian - skewers are tasty and cooked well and timed well when they are busy. It's always good to go there. Filipino - the food, not the store, is yum. Mild spicy hot or just right. Many different types of pork and other meat, savoury and sweet, give it a try, you may like it. I'm sure they have their regulars. Shake Pro - Mango Coco is nice. Try it. The photos of the squid may look a mess, but they are nice with or without the sweet chilli sauce. Hungarian bread - with pesto, it is quite strong. The bread is nice, though. This is good. Eaten hot is nice to devour. Bulogi - try it at least once. The philly cheesesteak is okay but not something I'd have on the regular. The price of $18 really isn't worth a repeat. Maybe if the roll was longer, but if that's all you get, then no, it's not worth it. Candy floss - hmm, it tasted different as a child. It's okay. They have different shapes such as pikachu, a yellow duck or a rainbow cloud, and much more. It's good for kids.

I have been to almost all Night Markets in Auckland and Botany Night Market is my favourite. The high ceiling of the parking lot makes the place feel not crowded or suffocating from the smoke from the food stalls. In addition, Botany Night Market feels like there are more food choices compared to other Night markets. There are also a lot more tables and chairs to sit and eat on. Lots of parking.

In my opinion the best night market in Auckland. All the food we tried was great. The highlight would have to be the Banh Me Baguette from Hue's Kitchen. It was so full and delicious the best I've had and only cost $10. We lined up again to get more. They only go to Botany market so will definitely be returning.

Love the food and the different vendors with their beautiful trinkets. I love buying jewellery and collectible items from here; plushies and anime figurines and such. And my favourite corn dog place is usually always found there, so my family and I are there every week on Wednesdays to grab our faves and have a look around for some new items to purchase. P.S- the pics I posted are of a few of the items we got the last time we went, which was this evening (Wed 24/01/2024)..

We go here forthnightly and love the crowd especially the variety of food. I go there for my nails mainly. Overall we love the Botany NM

I think this has been the largest, routine night market I've seen in NZ so far. At least 20-30 street food tents along with 10 or so product and games tents, and all on the lower floor of a parking garage. It's extremely crowded and really hard to find seating at one of the available tables unless you hunt for them akin to finding a parking space. You'll likely park upstairs and take the escalator down through the closed mall, stop to get cash from the ATMs, then continue into the market. Few port-a-loos available down here. But all in all, so much variety!

Good (mostly asian) street food but not much else to do

It's like Taipei shilin night market. You can taste many kinds of food.

A good spot to try different asian foods. Good atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Food quite affordable. Easy to eat loads.

Generally a good selection of mostly Asian food (Chinese, Korean & Japanese) with a smattering of other cuisines and desserts thrown in. Also lots of market stalls selling fruit and veg, as well as bog standard market tat. Gets pretty crowded, but there's so many stalls that it doesn't take long to get fed. Definitely one of the better night markets in town.

We often come here for steam pudding and custard from mama's dessert and lamb kebabs 10 for $10 our favourites, I would get fresh waffles with chocolate,banana and ice cream Absolutely yum. They have a variety of food and cheap pricing. I also would get a screen protector for $8 if I didn't want to pay top dollar for one. Does the same job, also would get my nails done for a special occasion. I recommend you check it out. They have seating and tables placed around an live entertainment

Probably the best of the Auckland night markets, high ceilings in the carpark means less cooking smoke. Excellent selection of stalls with lots of food (recommend the Korean chicken and French crepes in particular). Good Korean socks too!

I enjoy my meats but this vegan/vegetarian cafe makes really good food and coffee to suit everyone! The cafe is quite small so you may have to sit outside or wait for a table during peak hours. The cold brew coffee is nice as well! Highly recommended!

Found this cafe to take our daughter too being vegan friendly. Such great meals, we all enjoyed the well presented and prepared food. Will be back soon.

Favourite spot for weekend brunch, though I may be biased! Love their bread as well as their new menu (which I’ve finally tried out after not going for awhile!). Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff!

Best Sunday healthy breakfast! Great coffee and service. Bought some more sweet vegan treats. Didn't get to take pictures, but so yumm. Thanks team!

nice place! amazing food, really tasty! the portion could be a little bit bigger but it's ok!

Great little hole in the wall cafe, serving great vegetarian/vegan fare on their freedom loaf. Lots of choices for alternative milk too.

I have recently started ordering directly from the midnight baker. I am a big fan of their seeded bread as its gluten free, packed with goodness and very filling so a little goes a long way. I was delighted to find that they have two additional flavours - herb and cinnamon chai. Both are delicious. And I am now a regular for both. My husband is now a midnight baker convert too. We’ll be sticking with their loaves as a household staple. Very good communication and delivery service also.

A Tasty Tuesday Night at Mt Wellington Night Market 🍴✨ There’s something magical about the Mt Wellington Night Market on a Tuesday night — the air thick with the mist of sizzling flavours, the laughter of families weaving through food stalls, and the excitement of not knowing which delicious bite you’ll try next. It’s our kind of night out — a family tradition of “eat and walk,” and we absolutely love it! This time, our foodie journey started with a hot, fresh, and cheesy batch of chips from Potato Corner — oozy, crunchy, and downright addictive. Next, we devoured a juicy BBQ chicken leg, perfectly grilled and served with creamy mashed potatoes on the side. Talk about comfort food at its best! We couldn’t resist the smell of hot mini donuts — fried fresh, rolled in sugar, and gone in seconds. Then came one of my absolute favourites: crispy prawn toast, packed with prawns and served with a sweet and spicy chilli sauce that made every bite a crunchy, satisfying joy. To finish the night on a sweet note, I treated myself to a heart-shaped Dubai chocolate — rich, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. Every bite was a little piece of heaven. It was such a delightful night, filled with laughter, flavour, and family fun. If you haven’t experienced this vibrant night market yet, you’re missing out on one of the tastiest nights Mt Wellington has to offer. ❤️

Wet night but still bustling. Unfortunately no filipino food stall around. Heaps of food to go around, customers enjoying their fingernails in one corner, other doing their shopping for some stuff. Food really yummy and delicious. Highly recommended 👍 Revisited this place for more filipino food, like it here

"A little crowded, a lot of delicious!" So, I hit up the Mt Wellington Night Market, and let me tell you, it’s like a treasure hunt – but instead of gold, it’s full of Asian food stalls. Located below Countdown in the basement, it’s got everything from dim sum to grilled lamb (yes, grilled lamb – it’s a thing), bubble tea, and even a stall with phone accessories (because why not?). I did spot a vegetable shop too, selling bananas and some other veggies – very useful if you’re in the mood for healthy snacks after gorging on bao and grilled goodness. Speaking of which, I picked up 3 red bean and pork bao for $6 – not a bad deal if you ask me, considering they went down like a dream. The place can get a little crowded, but it's manageable – just a few extra elbows here and there. Plenty of tables and chairs to chill and eat, and bright enough to keep you from falling asleep in the food coma you’ll inevitably be in. Toilets? Yeah, they’re there, but don’t expect a five-star spa. It’s more of an “I can deal with it” situation. All in all, if you're looking for good food, great vibes, and some quirky finds on tuesday's, this is the place. Just make sure you bring an empty stomach – unlike me, who was too full to try everything! "Logan was here.. Grabbed some handful bao's"..

Nice food. Different kinds of foods here. Customer service ok.

Just arrived for first time. This market should be open till morning. No night life in auckland. But this place quit good. Seems like street food corner. Enjoyed.

Laosi hosi, pig intestines, African stew, fufu, nikes, fresh produce, nail service, clothing, otai, smoked BBQ, dumplings and pork buns, meat skewers, burgers, deserts, biscuits so much more

Very cramped short ceiling space made it very hard to breathe at times maybe too much people very over crowded but the food we had was good enough just a pitty for the price of things the merchandise like clothing and shoes was great bargain my kids enjoyed themselves that was the main thing :)

Central Filling Market feels like a well-curated flea market with a great atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can spend a good hour or two browsing through a mix of antiques, vintage items, and second-hand goods. The antiques are often overpriced—especially the tools, which can be surprisingly expensive. But the second-hand section makes up for it, and with a bit of digging, you might find something you really like. What really stands out is the vibe. It’s lively, full of character, and brings together both the younger and older generations, each with their own fashion and style. The food stalls, coffee options, and overall energy give it a unique charm that’s hard to find elsewhere in Auckland. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy flea markets and local creative scenes.

Great stuff at this market but it is all curated secondhand dealers now meaning $$$. As a guide, I got 2 unbranded tops for $30 each. Not a treasure hunters market by any means but good if you're a size 8 and have a lot of cash to burn.

We arrived half an hour before closing. What we did see was lots of clothes mostly reasonable prices some like usual were highly expensive. It was really easy to get a car park right next to the market. In the centre of the market there is a huge shop Junk and Disorderly. If you like vintage antique you will love this place and it is open 3.

A rather cute market that we visited whilst in auckland. Parking was very full so you may have to go around the block a couple of times. Stall holders were friendly. Most of the items were clothes (very cool clothes but small as they were vintage). There was some jewellery and miscellaneous as well. The content of the stalls would depend on the day. The market is situated around a second hand shop called junk and disorderly. It was huge and had some cool items you wouldn't normally see. Toilets are located in junk and disorderly (would be cool to have some more signage about this). We did find it difficult walking around some of the stalls that were located on the gravel due to the uneven ground so keep that in mind if you are mobility compromised. On the whole a cute market.

Great Market to sell and buy. Something for everyone. Great friendly vibe with outdoor stalls lots of Vintage Clothing and home wares. Old Cook St vibes

This is great way to spend a Sunday morning in Auckland. Lots of stalls with good variety -vlothing, vintage home wear, plants, jewellery and food

Groovy vibe but there are some cheeky vendors who don’t label prices and pull ludicrous prices out of thin air, for example asking 20$ for a common retro vinyl record which is probably worth 2-5$.

Very small. Parking space is limited. Parking hours is not long enough, either

Now Long Bay Village is the secret gem hidden in Hills of long Bay. A great place for a meal or just a coffee.

Charming spot with great cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops.

Not much of a shopping mall, don't have a lot to say really? Th bakery and the sushi shop round the corner from new

Very tidy supermarket bars and cafes.handful of shops not far from sports grounds and beach similar neighbourhood to hobsonville.

Long Bay Village Market. We went on the last Sunday in February. But its there on the last Sunday of the month through the Summer. Great for a wander around with some amazing food options (try the fried bread with Harissa if they're there)

Love this place. A perfect spot to grab food and coffee before and after beach visit. People are extremely friendly and whole area has a nice vibe.

Good food market with variety of cuisine available. Rest of stalls mostly looked kind of junky, just $2. Shop kind of stuff, phone covers, squishy, rings, kids toys etc. I would recommend going just for a bite to eat if you are in the area - Sunday nights only. Not worth long trip to check out if not staying near there.

I went there by bus and walked everywhere to find it and there wasn't any night market at all totally nothing.

Nothing but food stalls. Some good some not so good. Spring rolls had the weirdest taste have me stomach pains at 4am. Would not go back.

Its ok whanau for quik bite lots of asian food there thats actually y igo there ilove there prawn pancakes whoop whoop ithink 4 for 6dolar though lol they have indian Island food Italian maori kai steak meals but whanau ilike tha dumplings prawn pancakes island donuts kiaora

Ok only has food which is ok not much variety but the early the better at least you can sit down and have a meal dont like over crowded places so good place to eat

Limited number of stalls. Food was great. It is temporarily discontinued at this location. The one at wellington shopping centre is a lot better.

It's fine and the food was decent enough, but it's small compared with Glenfield and Henderson, and really not much range. Mostly Chinese food.

Good sized market (70 to 100 stalls), held on the last Sunday of the month. Indoor and outdoor stalls with a large amount of craft and specialty foods. Great for wandering through , with food, coffee and buskers. A major downside is that it fills most of Titirangi limited car parks, so finding a place to park is extremely difficult..

Great vibe! Wide range of stalls, including clothes, jewelry, foods, crafts, plants. Live entertainment. An indoor and outdoor area to be seated and enjoy some Kai. A market worth visiting. Parking is always the issue, but if you are willing to walk, there are plenty of side streets in the vicinity.

I came to the market and it was the best one I've been to yet great food great music and great stalls, I found people extremely respectful of my culture and if I had to guess (not that I can read people's minds) I would say there was not one single racist there! Special thanks to the highly competent team that organizes this market

I have been looking forward to today's market for a while coz it happens on on the last Sunday monthly, got there around noon time today, can't find a place to park at all, have to turn around and go coz I got kids in the car and don't want to circle round and round. Wish it can be moved to somewhere with more parking available. Looks pack, must be a popular market.

good variety craft and food, hard to find parking spot. but we end up finding Atkinson park to hike which is awesome track for dog walking

Love the village Market, tons of great stalls, lovely food, nice live music and friendly people.

Lots of original arty stalls at good prices. Great selection of places to eat. Well worth a visit

Despite the horrible weather, loads turned up as it's such a great market. Double Dutch fries were yum 😋 OMG donuts, vegan & gluten free SO delicious and light - no photo sorry, they were so good we hoovered them up!! It would be nice if you could take your dog's on leash there but they're prohibited

Great little market, most stalls set up in large sheds, plenty of parking & Live music by Memma (great voice) adding to the great atmosphere.

Great little craft market with entertainment and heaps of food. A must visit for the whole family every third Sunday.

We were expecting this to be a food or farmers market (it wasn't clear from their FB posts). However, this is more of a craft market. Great if that was what you wanted but not really for us. On the plus side, there was Double Dutch Fries food truck there, so the trip wasn't entirely ruined.

Great market and been there couple of times . today learned something new: large cappuccino tasted like plain milk, when asked where the coffee was, owner said I should’ve ordered a smaller cup! Wow they just created a new type of coffee..long white??

Great place for a Sunday morning with or without kids.

What a lovely place to visit.. great food.. excellent customer service.. nice music.. I wish I got there earlier.. but still a very enjoyable time.. hand made products are first class

One of my favorite morning market. The chorizo hot dog is delicious, and the coffee is good. You can buy all kinds of organic products: organic A2 whole milk, organic eggs, organic vegetables, organic fruits, and so on. If you like smoked fish, there’s a vendor at the La Cigale, and highly recommend.

Really enjoy dining here on a Saturday morning. A great combination of fresh produce, great bake/pastries, good coffee, music and flavours.

Had a great coffee there, but unfortunately the markets weren't actually on :(. The staff at the coffee shop were very nice and even went over and above to help us find our way around. We must have obviously been picked out as non-locals, lol!

Just had worst coffee at la cigali. Had a double shot in small cup and no flavour no colour no aroma. This place used to be great but I won’t be back.

Great little market, fresh fruit and vegetables, great coffee and snacks and other specialty items, smoked salmon yum and garlic or dried tomato stuffed olives.

Excellent food and speciality goods stalls. Great sellers amd happy browsing customers

Used to be fantastic, but recently appears to have had a bit of a slide in the food offerings lately.

My favorite single coffee blend beans that I had in NZ 🙂. The taste ist special and unique.

Great quality coffee! But good to know they don't serve coffee at the shop anymore. It's more of a training facility now, but they still sell ground coffee grains to the public, which is great!

Excellent coffee and friendly staff members. This location is primarily their roastery, but there is a retail outlet on site serving coffees. Have been satisfied with coffees from Kokako from their various locations, always great quality.

***Incredible Coffee*** - I haven't physically visited, however, I order coffee beans online, and agreeing with a comment on a previous review, probably the best coffee beans you can buy for home in NZ, by far. Well worth the slightly higher price, especially being a fairtrade, organic and environmentally friendly product. My hands down favourite is the medium bodied 'Aotea' blend. It has such a depth of fantastic flavours, I love it, thank you very much Kokako for making such an amazing product.

They Roast Coffee, we just picked up ground coffee. The Aotea Blend is just right for us. Close to our current cottage, friendly staff, sun peaked out between the clouds.

I was very impressed with the company online delivery service especially during this challenging time. I ordered a pack of their 2kg Hot chocolate on Sunday night and it got delivered the next afternoon. I highly recommend their organic drinking chocolate.

Great coffee delivered quickly and great customer service helping out when I made a mistake with my order. 100% recommend Kokako

Beautiful people, space, and treats! Might as well be like me and give everything a try because it's all amazing!!

Have been visiting Charlie Mia’s stall at Parnell Market for the last few years and can absolutely vouch for the amazing service and the most delicious donuts and sweet treats. All gf and vegan and so damn tasty! Stoked for the opening of the new cafe and will be making the trip out here as often as I can!

Those who have read my other reviews know that I often talk about vegan and gluten free options at restaurants and cafes. Well this place is 100% vegan and gluten free. Great service and fantastic food, especially the scones and doughnuts. They just need to get some more tables. There was only one table and chairs plus some couches which I found strange. But worth going for the food even if you have to takeaway.

Love the fact that makers have put in so much hard work to create gluten-free vegan baked goods that are free from fillers and junk. High quality, affordable prices and amazing selection of yummy treats. Highly recommend their Hot Cross Bun donuts!

Delicious gluten-free and coeliac-safe food (heavenly donuts!), such a gorgeous wee spot in Kingsland and friendly staff. Thanks Charlie Mia for all your passion for good food!

Highly recommend, gluten free vegan or not. Lovely unassuming spot to catch up with an old friend over delicious creamy chai almond lattes, custard filled donuts and avo seeded toast. Thank you!

The very best coffee I've ever tasted and the carrot cake is yummy, delicious food. The young lady serving me and my daughter was very polite and pleasent. Definitely pop in more often. 🤗

Long downhill distance from parking. Beware for mobility issues but passengers can be dropped off at door. Food fresh. Margaritas lovely. On the quay. Quite a vibe with city ferry commutors close.

It’s a very nice place to hangout with friends, range of restaurant, grill and bars. No need to go it city when you have it available here. Very pleasant environment and views around it are very awesome. You can come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of parking spots are available. Just next to nature reserve. You can Bring your friends, families, kids, sweethearts and even rivals as well.

Not a good place due to lack of access for disability parking..

Always a great place to visit

Really amazing. I feel so privileged to live at a time while this place exists.

Great atmosphere

Enjoyed the new restaurant area, good choice and a good atmosphere

These are my favourite bagels and I go out of my way to buy them. They are bigger and softer than the ones at the supermarket and they have great deals when buying more than one bag. I get three packs of 4 for $11 and o haven’t seen packets at the supermarket for less that $4, even on special. Just be aware of the open times because I do have to plan my week around making sure I get there in the morning

I heard the name and walked in one morning expecting an array of breakfast bagels but it was a place that sells just bagels in bags. They did have a decent variety and guess their main customers would be cafes and supermarkets. $4 a bag for 8 small bagels or 4 normal sized bagels. Got the cheese coated one. It tasted alright. Disappointed with the fact I had to buy a bag and go home to make a breakfast myself. Lazy much!

Always Fresh, bigger and better than any supermarket offering, well worth my regular visits, and bonus mini bagels for when you need just a snack

Love Hermons cheese and sesame seeds bagels, good to see they survive covid. their bagel bags are cheap, their bagel chips look nice, lol I dnt know the name🤦🏽‍♀️

Love sesame seeds bagels. Recommended to my friends, they all love it.

I wonder if the other reviewer realizes they walked into a bagel factory, and just gave them a 3 star review for not being a cafe? LOL.

Love picking up my bagels here on a Saturday

Turned up and it’s a natural healing market with a few stalls in a hall.

Fantastic market, would strongly recommend to all. Loved the quality of products available to purchase and best still all NZ handmade. 5 Stars!

Only on the 2nd Saturday of month. Grr not good info.

Nice friendly market with a wide range of crafts for sale

The best olive oil
