Britomart Saturday Market — Local services in Waitematā

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...

We are fortunate enough to be able to frequent this market on certain Saturdays as we live fairly close by, but I wouldn’t say it’s worth a long trip.

There is a small variety of stalls in general, with only one fresh produce stall. However there’s a great selection of baked goods with particular mention to butter baby - where you can find an impressive selection of ‘Asian style’ donuts (I.e., with fillings like pandan, taro, sago, kaya). They are not too sweet and the dough is impeccable. Would highly recommend their pandan chiffon cake, but is unfortunately only available on some saturdays - probably a good thing though.

The bakery stall opposite them also sell some of the most delicious croissants - light and flakey, soft and buttery on the inside.

What really makes our Saturday mornings special is the elderly man in the middle of the market who serenade people with jazz songs. The man can sing. If you see him make sure you gift him with a flower from the...

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...
