About

Since 2014

Goodness Gracious opened in February 2014 in a small space on New North Road, Eden Terrace. Coffee, and a bagel big enough to be a meal, grilled and filled to order. Parnell followed in 2017, Smales Farm in 2018 and Wynyard Quarter in 2025.

What's stayed the same

The bagels are still grilled and filled properly. Coffee is still the first thing most people order. And plenty of the faces at the counter are ones we've known for years.

What's changed

There are four of us now. You can order at the kiosk or on your phone. Prices have moved with everything else.
