About Heidi dairy & flower shop

Heidi Dairy & Flower Shop is a neighbourhood shop at 354 West Coast Rd in Glen Eden, Waitakere City, west Auckland, with a 4.4 Google rating. It also has a page on Neighbourly. The directory files it as a supermarket, but the name points to a dairy that also sells flowers.

A dairy is a New Zealand corner shop for everyday essentials such as milk, bread, snacks, drinks and newspapers, and a flower counter adds a handy way to pick up a gift on the way home. Prices are usually higher than at a supermarket, so it suits top-up shopping, not the weekly shop. For flowers, ask what is freshest and how long it should last, and look for firm stems, tight buds and clean, green leaves. Check best-before dates on chilled goods, ask whether cards are accepted and ask staff whether they can arrange orders for special dates. Regulars drop in for milk or bread, pick up a bunch of flowers and chat to staff about local news.

West Coast Rd is a main road through Glen Eden, so this shop suits nearby residents wanting basics and a bunch of flowers close to home.
