    We wanted to go to a market on Sunday and after not having been to Takapuna for quite a while, decided to go there. I was surprised to find out that the market would not be in its current location for much longer. It looks like August is their final month. What a shame. This is pretty much a Takapuna institute.

    The market has an eclectic mix of stalls, ranging from plants to crafts, produce to food vendors. We mainly went for the food. One stand out was the Sri Lankan stall. The samosas were tasty and the pakodas to die for!

    On the other hand, we bought some soft tofu from a different vendor and it had gone off and tasted sour.

    Great farmers market with plenty of good, wholesome stores and a few good stalls for a brunch/breakfast.
    Fresh vegetables, bakeries and a variety of similar stalls, no junk stalls.

    The Glenfield Sunday Night Market is a must-do for a huge variety (with an emphasis on Asian) of cheap eats served fresh and hot. Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Filipino, American, Korean, South African...the list of cuisines represented is long.

    At first glance, you could easily imagine that you were browsing street vendors in any of a dozen Asian cities.

    Most of the food is cooked right in front of you, so you get it piping hot.

    We’ve been coming to this market for years and it’s always good, always a fun experience for everyone in the family. Wander around, snack on delicious food from all over the world, top it off with your choice of sweet treat from any of a dozen dessert stalls and then take home a little bit of everything. Wow.

    The prices are rock-bottom. $10 for 4 large teriyaki chicken sticks, $11 for 33 pot-stickers, $2 pork buns, $10 for 7 pieces of prawn shiu-mai, and don’t leave without your healthy serving of Nutella cheesecake for $5.

    As the night goes on, the market gets crowded and parking fills up in the parking structure. Still, there are always spaces available, you just have to drive up higher in the structure to get them. We like to show up when things are just getting rolling at 5:30pm, and folks are starting to trickle in. Whenever you arrive, the Glenfield Sunday Night Market is a good time, with good food, at crazy-good prices.

    There are merchandise vendors here, also, and browsing their stalls is always interesting. iPhone paraphernalia, jewelry, hats, clothing, holistic health items, toys and more.

    Fresh fruit and vegetables round out the vendor stalls.

    The hours are 5:30pm to 11:00pm.

    We heartily recommend the Glenfield Sunday Night Market. It’s fun for the whole family. If you’re lucky, there will be live music and maybe even the human statue guy.

    This market is held the first Sunday of every month and is very popular. Beautiful to get out of city into the country side. There are so many wonderful crafts here that its hard to decide what to buy. To top it all off there is great food as well. Plus there are local cafes in the area as well. Make a day of it and go to this market.

    Catalina Bay Farmers Market, finefood-market at Hobsonville Point; lovely waterfront views. Olive oils, Butchery, Nut-butters, cheese, copper perfumery-kits, and more; great atmosphere. Bakery out-the-door queues, decadent patisserie, got some - finished in a jiffy, got another few delish items before we left. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.) - challenging flights of steps if you park at top-level carpark or drive-down, gourmet (indoor/outdoor) market though quite small, must try cafes surrounding it for next time, ferry-pier (service to/from Auckland Cbd). Went on the weekend, great find; I believe they are open more days.

    In total about 30 stall holders, but all quality and well priced. Location was great with easy parking, nice vibe and atmosphere and most importantly was not overcrowded so you could take your time to walk around, smell and taste and actually enjoy the morning. Would go again and recommend over other markets that are either overcrowded or underwhelming.

    A nice walk to the market, filled with fresh baking, coffee, vegetables and crafts. A busy place where people stop for breakfast. We stopped for cup of tea and a pastry, excellent.
    It’s open Saturday and Sunday mornings and we’ll visited.

    We learned that there are different locations for the night markets - some take place in the underground space of a parking structure, others outdoors. What you get is a huge assortment of street food of all types, much of it quite appealing. And, of course, some local artisans and their craft works - go online when you get to Auckland and google "Auckland Night Markets" for current locations and hours.

    We went down to the markets last Saturday - great music and stalls. These markets have just reopened (old Cigale markets). There is variety with dips, cheeses, veges, fish, coffee and pizza. The markets are also next to the Buono Deli and they've got a lot of Italian items, coffee and menu food. We had the breakfast and it included Italian meats and lovely flavours. Young ones are also catered for, then we shopped around and bought enough for a meal that night. The Italian Deli has the option to buy sliced salami's, meats and cheese. Great live music at the market - and area to sit and chill. Glad to see the markets back!

    Pamphlets and signs advertised the New Bigger and Better market every Sunday from 10am - 2pm. Well, full marks to the pie shop, jam stall, embroidery stall, live musician and the couple of other stall operators who were there when we turned up at 10.30 am. The many other empty spaces did nothing for us. Perhaps it was just an off week but the weather was perfect and the cafe was open. Had we not had to drive a fair way to get to the alleged markets we would not be so put out. Perhaps a weekly market is too ambitious? Once a month may get more stalls and customers. In any case we will not be returning.
