Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? โ
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weโve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itโs a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets โ๏ธ
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Whether itโs a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donโt let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? ๐ซ
