Munchy Mart

It’s not the cheapest dairy in the area, and it doesn’t quite have the selection that forte convenience does, but, for the discerning uni student, Munchy Mart trumps all the others by virtue of its location.
You can get all kinds of food here, from pies to chips to noodles, and they have a boiling water dispenser with which you can fill up said noodles before returning to your computer to slurp them loudly and splash chicken soup all over the keys. Munchy Mart can get pretty hectic over the 11 – 1 lunchtime rush, so it can be worth heading up the road if you see the line stretching right around the shop, but otherwise it’s worth paying the extra twenty cents to save yourself the time.

If you’re after a convenience store while at Auckland Uni, Munchy Mart is your best option. They have everything here that a mini supermarket or a dairy would have. Chips, ice creams, pies, muffins, drinks, stationary, magazine, sanitary items and more.
Munch Mart would have to be one of the more popular places on campus as I forever see the line snaked around the entire store with students lining up to purchase their lunch of a snack fir an energy booster.
I find this place reasonably priced which is nice as they could very much rip everyone off.
Located in the Kate Edgar building, the closest parking can be found on princess street. But being a Uni convenience store, you’ll find majority of students would have walked or caught public transport into town.

When I was a student, I couldn’t get enough of Munchy Mart. It’s such a great place to go for a quick snack in between classes. Well actually it’s only quick if you pick your time wisely because this store gets hella busy during the lunch time rush.
These guys have most items that a student would require to get them through a busy day of lectures and assignments; energy drinks, water, lollies, pies, noodles, chocolate, snacks etc. and at prices that a student can afford. They always have good deals going on as well that change frequently. Yep, I have to give some credit to Munchy Mart for getting me through my degree. Thank you.

Ah, Munchy Mart. The one-​stop-​shop for hungry/​thirsty students. Munchy Mart is pretty much a dairy in the middle of Uni, on the second floor of Kate Edgar. Not only do they sell a huge range of food (chips, cookies, chocolate, candy, instant noodles, pies, crackers, bread, everything!) and drink (milk, flavoured milk, water, fizzy, energy), but they sell a range of other stuff like stationary, stuff for the home, washing powder etc etc.
The improvised queuing system along with the little person who allocates you to a cashier once they are free makes even the busiest times prompt and efficient.
On a related note, I once saw a guy buy a 1L carton of milk, stick a straw in it after he left the shop and just start drinking. True story.

I went here a lot when I was at Uni, there isn’t much you can’t buy here. Munchy Mart have all your needs for when you get the munchies including an impressive range of chocolate and candy, an entire aisle of noodles and a lot of other calorie laden junk. There is so much variety by way of drinks here it is crazy, they even sell Snapple and a lot of milk and iced teas from foreign places. They also have sushi, pies (or course), muffins and things like taro buns. Hot water is available too for the noodles, there is no additional water charge and Munchy Mart also supply straws, forks and chopsticks!
On a more healthy note there is a large fruit bin up the front with the generic apples and bananas and another bin for specials, often 2 for deals which is great for loan burdened students! Just check the expiration dates first.
The other great thing is the check out operation, they’ve got it sorted, the lines get really long (especially between lectures) but the efficient staff and someone to manage the customer line mean transactions go through quicker so you can get munch out of mart quicker.
