The Candy Shop

The Verdict:

Contrary to what its name may suggest, The Candy Shop is not a lolly outlet, but an all-day eatery, named for its encouragement of guilty pleasures. Run by a trio of hospitality veterans with big talent in both the back and front of house, The Candy Shop serves “Kiwi food with a twist”, resulting in a variety of interesting options. In a nod to the owners’ heritage the menu is heavily laden with Korean influence, serving Korean pancakes and beef cheek dumplings amongst traditional Kiwi staples.
