A Bar Apart – Launch Week Pop-Up 2026 - Auckland, New Zealand

A Bar Apart is a new shared emblem for New Zealand’s finest ethical bean-to-bar chocolate makers – a signature that tells you, before you’ve even taken a bite, that what you’re holding was made with genuine craft, transparency and care.

To mark the launch, we’re hosting a week-long pop-up shop at Spacefor Pavilion, 10 Te Ara Tahuhu, Britomart, Auckland. We open on World Chocolate Day – Tuesday 7 July – and we’d love you to come and celebrate with us.

The pop-up will be open Tuesday to Saturday 10am–6pm and Sunday 10am–4pm, and throughout the week we’ll be running a programme of free lunchtime tastings (12–1pm, no ticket required) and ticketed evening events (7.30–8.30pm).

What’s on
