Wallaceville Dairy is a dairy at 60 Ward Street in Wallaceville, Upper Hutt, with a 4.4 Google rating.
In New Zealand, a dairy is a corner shop selling everyday essentials such as milk, bread, snacks, drinks, ice cream and newspapers, and often hot food. Near a railway station and a main road, a dairy is also a handy stop for commuters grabbing a drink or snack, as well as locals running out of milk. A good one keeps shelves stocked and fresh, stays open long hours and knows its regulars. Prices are often a little higher than at a supermarket, so it suits top-up shopping more than the weekly shop. Check best-before dates on chilled goods, ask whether cards are accepted and see whether staff can order in an item you use regularly. Regulars drop in for milk or bread on the way home and chat to the owners about what is happening locally.
Ward Street is in Wallaceville, so this shop suits nearby residents and commuters in Upper Hutt wanting a quick stop for basics.
