Mairangi Bay Dairy & Lotto

Had a Pepper Steak pie — wasn’t enough pepper for my liking but it was OK. Friendly service, though

My local. I love it. It’s everything you want in a dairy and more. My favourite thing about this corner gem is the ice cream counter where you can buy real scoop cones and authentic milkshakes. They are always delicious! Of course there’s all the other usual stuff you may need… milk, newspapers, magazines, lollies, biscuits, drinks, all of it. The prices are what you could expect from any local dairy. Not quite as afforable as you would find at a supermarket but often worth the extra spend for that quick and easy factor.
It can get very hectic in here in the summer months and I often feel for the people working here. The staff are always very friendly and are generally really onto it. They run around endlessly serving the queues of people. So please be patient because they do such a good job at such a popular little spot!
