Yummy yum yum yum.

Today from The Little Grocer we had two cinnamon buns, two lattes, one handmade plum iceblock, two delicious homegrown lemons and a rage against the machine badge that Astrid decided she wanted.

We have been very excited about The Little Grocer ever since we discovered on our return to Auckland. The first day we went was a Sunday before Summer and there was a most delightful table setting just brimming with super sweet deliciousness which we swore we’d return to photograph. One day we will.

But today’s treat, apart from the rage against the machine badge for a dollar, was Astrid’s amazing organic coromandel plum iceblock. Oh! It was a new experience, pulverised perfect plums, frozen. We’ll be back tomorrow for more we will.

And the cinnamon buns were delicious, two shared between the four of us. And the cheapest sweet option at $3.50. Lots of lovely things to look at while we waited for our lattes; little paper masks for a dollar each (but Astrid definitely wanted the rage against the machine badge more than a zebra mask, even more than a tiger mask), a big stack of the Ponsonby News, yummy cinnamon bread and butter pudding (oh!), pesto, a selection of old fashioned sweets, and urns for putting in your predictions, sage pieces of advice, or random scribblings.

The word of the week began with an ‘f’ and was about twenty letters long. I forgot to write my prediction, even though I meant to write, “look under the carpet for the missing DVDs”. Sound advice that is.

Sound, like The Little Grocer. A little piece of magic well and truly. We love you The Little Grocer. Oh yes indeed we do.
