The price of baked beans on toast at an Auckland café has sparked heated debate, with many deeming it "outrageous." Jamaica Blue, a café located at the Greenlane Clinical Centre, features a serving of baked beans on toast for NZ$15.90 (approximately US$14.40). This price, however, was met with skepticism on the "Auckland British Expats" Facebook page, where many felt it was excessively high.

02-13, 2025One user commented, "That’s an outrageous price for beans on toast," while another stated, "I saw that today and exclaimed 'How much?!'" Some questioned the quality of the beans, with one asking, "Are the beans flown in directly from Tesco in the UK?" and another inquiring, "Are they Watties or 'British Beans'?" One person even pointed out that a full English breakfast in Nottingham would be cheaper.
While the NZ$15.90 baked beans on toast is not the most expensive in Auckland, with the Beach Cafe in Maraetai charging as much as NZ$19, the Heartland Hotel near Auckland Airport offers a slightly cheaper option at NZ$14.50. In comparison, making baked beans on toast at home is significantly less expensive. At Woolworths, a can of Watties baked beans costs NZ$2.80, and a loaf of bread can be as low as NZ$1.19, though this requires self-preparation.
Currently, Stuff news has contacted Jamaica Blue for comment on the matter.
