Reviews of Countdown Grey Lynn

Great supermarket, very friendly staff from produce all the way to checkouts. Wide range of products that cater specifically to the community which is awesome. Always clean and tidy, only issues are queues at the checkout, but the Scan and Go checkout option is always better, scan as you pick products then checkout at the dedicated checkout, no waiting.

Great bakery, butcher, and fruit and vege sections. Overall store very well presented compared to many other countdown shops.

I love the way the store is so bright and has such a variety of good priced items. Visited while on holiday.

A good place to shop, even when car park is full inside lots of space to shop comfortably

Love shopping at this countdown, great staff from the front entrance, floor and checkouts. They always have what I need. Thank you

Quite a good size, not too cramped. Staff are friendly and helpful. Has lotto and a walk in beer chiller. Sometimes tills get busy and you have to queue for a while.

This is a nice place staff good pleasent and help full and I have noticed stock is a reflection of the area and clientele that are in this area. had all I felt like to day loved it

This is my local countdown and Williamson Ave countdown. I'd choose Richmond Rd countdown any day, I love this countdown. Its a nice store to go to, good prices, I love the layout of the store inside and out and the car park is very nice. Also, the staff are awesome and polite. They are always happy to help, it is always a joy shopping here.

A great store, helpful staff, first visit to my local!

Good place to shop, my only criticism is the bakery always seem to sell day old bread at special, I thought the idea of instore bakeries was to get fresh baked bread or am I misunderstanding the concept.

Attentive staff, very clean set up 👍

Nice friendly place, man at the door (possibly trolley guy) is super polite and he makes your life more enjoyable with his smile :) In these challenging times :)

Pretty run of the mill supermarket. Has great wine selection but not much chilled. Excellent beer and cider selection. Lots of craft and huge chilled selection. Big carpark, good staff. Deli and Bakery are pretty standard. Definitely a better option than Letdown (Countdown Pt Chev, but your local dairy is likely better than that) but not as good as Williamson Ave.

Really but easy park, shop, pay and go

I like shopping here,prices are reasonable, staff are helpful, they have lotto, a pharmacy,click and collect, when it is busy i like to use scan and go,has disabled parking, wheelchair accessible,they have a few self service,good parking

Clean and well organized. Lovely staff and well stocked

Enjoy the redyce sales...lowdown prices...staff are brilliant 👏

Staff are exceptionally helpful and polite here! It's nice bumping into the familiar, friendly staff here. Always happy to help. This countdown is smaller than the newer one up the road, but I'm still able to get everything on my shopping list for a family of picky eaters all with different dietary requirements. Highly recommend for consistency, helpful staff and the better opening hours!

It's weird but it has a vintage old school feeling, but cool

Shopping with Ease The flow of this supermarket is fairly easy and unobtrusive. Can float from aisle to aisle comfortably and there is an intuitive approach to their layout, things just seem to make sense where they’re placed. Fairly good produce and meat sections. Bakery could up their game a bit but yeah.... Best of all - they’ve recently ELIMINATED plastic bags🤔🙏🏼😉

Always has everything I need/want and friendly staff.

Thanks to its location, I go there at least twice a week. The one on Richmond rd is way bigger than the other in Grey Lynn. Recently had a unpleasant experience with products which already passed the Best Before Date. nearly two to three months!!! First time, believed it's just a mistake as they said but second time when I went back to change, I was greatly disappointed because they didn't take it seriously. Now I check the expiry date or best before date extra carefully when shopping there.

Good place to shop alot of stuff friendly staff

Well stocked. Wide isles. Plenty of specialty foods and organic and gluten free sections. Parking pretty good.

Great range of fruit & veges and a fantastic range of wine. Its a big store and the range of products is really good. It can be a little tricky getting your car in and out of the carpark as its a very busy road and there is only one entrance and exit

Your usual supermarket with the extra investment in prototyping like with phone holders on trollies

Has the pharmacy instore, handy for those emergencies or just to get your script taken care of...

Excellent customer service and is my local. 👍

Great layout. Self-service checkouts. Helpful staff. Plenty of parking.

it was quiet & no crowds to fight. lovely layout and anything & everything to be found.not quite into the "Farro" stakes but theyre trying hard😃. pleasant if one can call supermarket shopping that!!😇.

This is where we do our weekly shop. It's never too busy here, which I like. It's not a big supermarket but I wouldn't say it lacks anything. Deli isn't extensive and there aren't as many bulk bins as you might find in other supermarkets. The staff here are nice and friendly. Something that does frustrate me though is how the customer service/Lotto counter is often empty. Lotto is no big deal I guess but I feel like the customer service desk should have someone watching over it most times.

They have spruced it up a bit .Clean and tidy.I get my chicken wings from here because their always on special .

This Richmond Rd Countdown is one of our favourites and is open till late (midnight). It has a very large range of produce and is always well-stocked, with an especially good range of breads and cakes baked onsite and a large and diverse selection of wines and beers. Always make sure you use your OneCard when you go, for max discounts - or use the teller's store card if you forget your own.

Some shelves empty, sad.

Great supermarket, although there were far too many baby boomers for my liking. Gluten free section decent but a bit mixed up.

Generally a pretty good supermarket- the staff are all friendly & happy to talk. Sundays however are awful. Every sunday afternoon the whole of Grey Lynn descend on the place. Chaos ensues as mums in activewear and bearded men in floral shirts queue along the aisles and down past the ice cream freezers all the way to the meat section. The self scanning stations run hot and then stop because someone dared to buy a bottle of Rose, and even though they have a pensioners gold card and facial recognition scanners would identify their wrinkles as a barcode, a staff member still has to approve them as being over 18. Meanwhile 6 tills stand idle because countdown are cutting staff numbers and encouraging self scanners. It has been this way for months. Every Sunday. Management could roster more check out staff. Or us sheeple could go elsewhere on a sunday.

Clean and expensive place lol... I always said, why they so expensive compassing other stores with exactly the same products? 🤷‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

This is a fabulous store. Great prices, service. Love the online shopping ✔

I like this countdown because it's less crowded

This is where you can turn when the pharmacy is closed

Plenty of good stuff there however its small and consequently it can sometimes be hard to find what you want if looking for a specific brand or product. Stocking of some things seems to be erratic

The New World/Countdown duopoly that formed when Foodtown and Woolworths were allowed to merge - you know, the one that we were assured would not affect competitive pricing - shows its true colours yet again.

How many stars can a supermarket get? Is there such a thing as a 5 star supermarket? This place sells food. I’m not sure what way to put my bananas in the trolley here.

I recently went to Countdown on Richmond Road to get re-fills for my soda stream. On the day they only gave me 6 instead of the 7 I gave them. I only realised this when I got home. This is annoying as it costs less for a refill than it does it new canister. I remembered I said on the day that I didn't want my receipt (I never do) and that trying to get my canister back would be too much of a nightmare so I thought I wouldn't just give up on it. However I discovered they had also given me an empty one as well. This was really annoying so I called them up to try and fix the problem. To my surprise they totally understood and fixed it immediately and gave me 2 refills for free for the hassle of having to go back in to get them! The whole phone call only took 5 mins and she was very apologetic. So there you go. Good service! It almost made my day. Too easy.

Store has been completely renovated! Looks really nice inside. It also has a chemist!

Excellent store. Lots of top quality boutique style items. Very clean&cheerfull staff. My favourite supermarket in Auckland

Wow this store looks flash, just another supermarket, only wanted a lighter.

Decent supermarket. Can often get busy though, to the point that getting through the checkouts can take a lot of time relative to the shopping.

A deeply euphoric experience, moving and rich. I patiently await the day when the CEO of countdown descends from the heavens in a firey chariot and leads us all to the promised lands. First he giveth then he taketh away...high prices.

I have been going to countdown since it opened.I go here for convenience.I know the layout.I just wish the staff could be friendlier.all they need to do is smile and say Hello.give people a bit of recognition.i see the same people 3 times a week.some places you go to you receive an unatural welcome and conversation - all txt book stuff. But other places you are recognised and welcomed.

Really convenient for us and staff are generally friendly. Would be great if the car park could be kept a bit cleaner as there is often rubbish blowing around.

One of the first stay open late stores around.lots of parking also parking for disabled in front of entry i dont come out much as there are closer stores around now but still a good shopping place

Tidy, clear labels, wheel chair access and ok prices. This Countdown does not ask a thirty year old for ID when buying wine with a CreditCard either.

Really nice supermarket with a great selection and very friendly staff.

Not easy to find entrance but to the way is nice, red floor. There are a lot goods can be found here which are not on the shelves in other stores

Great store . Heaps f varieties and stock. Love it

I have noticed that for the last four weeks the product Diamond Macaroni Cheese has been out of stock.

Not such a wide range of stock as they once had, but easy outside parking, a great location and good specials on most days.

Spacious and better-organised than most supermarkets in the area. Has items others lack (e.g. Dr Oetker pizzas)

Its clean and tidy fresh items specially produce

Undergoing some change for the better. Looks like an instore pharmacy soon. Good news.

Not a bad supermarket, decent size, decent selection, car park isn't too busy normally.

Nice staff and well stocked

Pretty good range, fairly typical of a Countdown supermarket. Nothing particularly outstanding, but convenient and mid-range in price.

Lots of variety...rushed around to get a few things...will have a more relaxed look around next visit!

One of the best in Auckland - wide aisles and good selection - easy parking and good staff.

Awesome staff great community.

Amazing place probably the best countdown around Auckland and if the meat looks average I go down the road to westmere butcher.

Well laid out.. clean with good variety

Always friendly staff. Re arranging at moment and more than willing to help find items.

Not the worst countdown but certainly not the best. Pales in comparison to the new one at the top of Williamson Ave but still better than the one near the bottom

Supermarket shopping on a rainy busy day. Staff are great as always at this store.

Sweet supermarket for shoppers. Need more staff on tils sometimes. Good selection of foods.

My visit to grey Lynn countdown was very good because I found things very easily that I needed and I was in and out of there quite fast and the in the people that work there were very helpful thank you

Good selection and is spacious. Could use a car entrance at the back too.

Sad to see so many bear shelves again so quickly.

It's a good enough store close by my house.

Nice store. A pity the checkout lady was so despondent.

It's nice place for groceries.. Especially for large amount buyers..

Close to home,good customer services, a quick access to what you want.

Good and well stocked but way more expensive that Rotorua

Still useful but three countdown in 1 miles radius too much

Great product

Basic range, old fashioned layout, convenient location and seldom busy.

Very busy store waited in queue for a while but friendly staff

Handy to Grey Lynn, the harbour bays and Ponsonby. Good parking too.

Standard Countdown - but slightly non standard layout. Usually easy to get a park

Cheap and good quality food (acording to NZ standards )

An embarrassment of riches here. World class shopping experience. Bring money.

Big spacious but expensive compared to Pak n Save

Small but still has a guide selection. Don't go for deli.

All good but only very less counter opened

My go to supermarket when I am looking for a decent range of products.

Average grocery store, the new countdown in Ponsonby is better

Great service - opened another lane when it got busy

Quite overwhelmed, it was a bit much plus they were out of kilo bags of blueberries.

Always find helpful people when looking for different items

Clean, friendly and has the best selection of wines

That place remind of my girlfriend I have nice moments there

Pretty good supermarket, sometimes the shelves are empty/untidy

Pretty good countdown. Everything you need and stuff you dont!🤣

My favourite spot to shop in the morning

Friendly Staff, But is is Grey Lynn so don't expect the prices to be the best.

Easy parking. Nice store.

Needed more checkouts open, some of us don't like the self checkouts

Chatted up by a lovely product demonstrator that made the trip worthwhile.

Sometimes there is a lack of staff on tills....but everyones friendly

Interesting specials but great staff and quality

Works till later time but lacks soft plastic collection

Fairly normal countdown experience

Don't expect to find fresh meat and fish here. ok otherwise

The countdown in city are better than suburbs/outskirts.

Supermarket

(Translated) Just don't buy alcohol. You feel like being pilloried in public and stoned. Then you have to show all possible IDs to find out in the end that only New Zealand are valid ... (Original) Bloß keinen Alkohol kaufen. Man wird gefühlt öffentlich an den Pranger gestellt und gesteinigt. Dann muss man alle möglichen Ausweise vorzeigen um an Ende zu erfahren, dass nur neuseeländische gültig sind...

(Translated) Complete supermarket as all lod Countdown. Everything, good prices and has free parking 2 hours. (Original) Supermercado completo como todos lod Countdown. De todo, buenos precios y tiene parking 2 horas gratuito.
