A suburban shopping centre at 19 Memorial Avenue in Ilam, with a New World supermarket, a chemist and Bakermans, a bakery café that customers say is the best in Christchurch. Bakermans is Dutch owned and operated, bakes everything fresh each day, and serves sweet treats, savoury muffins and pies. Customers can eat in or take away, and they say the service is fast. Bakery and pharmacy are the two things people mention most after the café, so a visit can cover a shop, a prescription and a snack in one place.
Customers describe the centre as friendly and easy to use, with a good layout, although one reviewer said some aisles in the supermarket are tight when other shoppers have trolleys. Of the two shopping malls nearby with 10 or more reviews, none rate higher than this one. The other mall within one kilometre is Fendalton Village, 0.9 km away.
