A corner dairy on Rutland Street in St Albans, Christchurch, with a thickshake counter and strawberries in season. Customers say the half kilo punnets of strawberries are the thing to buy here: sweet, good quality, and sold for $10 as at 2026. You can ring ahead to order them.
Reviews are mixed on the thickshakes. One customer found the shake gritty, with a strange chemical taste, and said it took a long time to make and was served with milk running down the cup. Others say the staff are friendly and helpful, even when the service is slow.
A few customers say the owner is often on his phone and does not engage much with people at the counter, and one missed the previous owner.
Six other dairies are within a kilometre. The nearest, Fiveways Dairy, is half a kilometre away.
It is at 67 Rutland Street, St Albans.
