Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? β
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weβve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itβs 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 βοΈ
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.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? π₯¦π±π₯
Whether itβs a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donβt 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? π«
