When you first dive into the Auckland scene on a locum tenens assignment, you'll notice a myriad of options available for entertainment, dining and outdoor activities. The best way to discover where to find the coolest cafe or the most eclectic collection of handcrafted items is to ask a local New Zealander.
For the perfect cup of joe, visit Douglas Street in Ponsonby, where local resident Jonny Calder recommends Coffee Supreme. The shop invites neighbors and first-timers to try out their impressive array of fine coffee beans. The cafe has other locations throughout the region but the Douglas location is its original home.
Using high-quality beans as the source of their gourmet beverage, the staff blends the coffee to achieve balance in flavor as well as complexity. From Boxer and Brazil to Caramel and Custom blends, the selection is vast—luckily, the friendly baristas are more than willing to help you decide on your favorite concoction.
Next, treat your eyes to the beautiful collection of jewelry at Wunderkammer store, also situated in the Ponsonby community of Auckland. With sterling silver, bronze and gold products, anyone's taste in accessories will be satisfied with the magnificent displays curated by Zora Bell-Boyd and Mark Crane.
