Good selection here, unlike many of the other grocery stores we came across…read more Also unlike the other places, you didn't have to go into a creepy basement in order to shop around. Most places seemed to have major lack of anything fresh looking but there were more options here. I mean, it's def not WF or Sprouts but it was great compared to anything we'd come by in the prior two weeks. After all, being relatively the best is still the best. The store was easy to find and only about a mile away from the main strip of Manly but that was far enough away that the crowds didn't come over. Private lot outside that was mostly full but there were cars coming in and out so wasn't awful.

Six years since initial review, still a five star place…read more Awesome seafood selection is the same. I have a favorite overpriced local cereal I can only find here. Best passionfruit and mango yogurt. Excellent cheese varieties. Limited selection, but what they have is special.

I love this place. It's got a myriad of Asian food stuffs - most of which I don't have the…read morefoggiest of what they are. But if I learnt to cook well, went to a Chinese/Korean/Thai/Japanese cooking class I bet I'd find all the ingredients I need here. I walked down the stairs and felt like I was in a foreign land - blonde and blue eyes I stood out like a sore thumb. A bit of a stickler for looking at ingredients on packaging I need to befriend someone who reads Chinese/Japanese/Cantonese/Mandarine so that I know what I'm buying exactly. Perhaps I should start learning to cook first! They stock everything from fresh fruit and vegetables with a range of Chinese vegetables, noodles, sauces, condiments, frozen dim sum, snack foods, iced teas and drinks.

When I die, sprinkle my ashes across some fried bread and leave it in Asian City for someone to buy…read moreand devour. This is how much I love this place. Okay, so, thing the first: CHEAP-ASS FRUIT & VEG. We're talking $1.99kg tomatoes, $2.50kg cucumbers, $1.20 bunches of coriander, $1.50 bundles of delicious garlic shoots that I've only just learned how to cook, and every kind of almost-costs-more-not-to-buy-them bok choys, choy sums, and about a billion other variant of the same. I buy all my fresh schtuff here now, way cheaper than Coles & Woolies and really good quality. Freezers, entire freezers, of dumplings! Welcome to the promised land, son. Pre-packed, wafer-thin beef and pork rolls to drop into your instant ramen noodles, millions of soy and oyster sauces, billions of chilli oils, gummis, Poki, bamboo shoots, it's happy hour at the freaking flavour factory and you've got the golden ticket. Of course, at least half of this place is things that I don't recognise and will probably never try (read: weird, so weird) but I try one new thing every time I come here. Doesn't always pay off, but 1 in 3 times it does. Like the chilli oil with cured pork chunks that's now my new favourite condiment, holler. Just don't buy the garlic that's imported from China - it's bleached, and the girl at Cornersmith Picklery told me it goes bright blue when pickled, naaaasty.

Always have to get to Manly after arriving in Sydney. Took the ferry over and went straight to the…read moreFish Market. It was the same as our last visit except the prices had increased a bit. Still long lines with happy people. Still only two tables and 99 % takeaway. Just as our last five visits we were lucky enough to grab a table!!! We ordered basically the same as we have on previous visits. Might have ordered one or two more shrimp! We had too much food this time around. We managed to eat all 9 prawns....they were really large...butterflied and crumbed. We also ordered the small chips. Thank goodness, we had too much food. The wait was not too long especially depending on how long the line was. Food always arrives piping hot. The guys that work here are slways helpful and friendly. Recommend picking up some great, reasonably priced seafood and taking to the beach for a nice meal. Will definitely return again this morning nth and hopefully again in January 2025!

Time to time, there will be an employee handing out samplers (but like full size samplers) of new Cole's branded treats. I've never had to wait more than 20 seconds to check out at this cole's, and had absolutely no issues ever.

Huge selection of everything. This place though is super crowded! A lot of out of towners like myself are shopping here. Self serve lines with multiple checkout machine probably the best option instead of waiting in line if you only have a few items that you want to cash out.

Literally tripped over this place- never would have noticed if not parked outside. One of those…read moreserendipitous events I guess since I now have a new local for herbs and spices and rare ingredients. And somehow an unpretentious and homely cafe pouring lavazza coffee with white fluffy raisin bread and other comfort food is stuck on the front of this tiny emporium, evidently with a big sister cafe in Artarmon. And I unexpectedly had to have coffee and raisin bread and found about fifty bucks worth of spices and stuff I desperately needed. Well worth a visit. So not hipster.

Hey Glebe Markets, I'VE BEEN CHEATING ON YOU…read more I'm sorry you had to find out this way. It started out as a weekend affair, a salty little dalliance north of the bridge. What is it about her that lured me in? You really want to know? It's not going to lessen the pain, you know. Fine. Just, y'know, don't say I didn't warn you. Here's why I like her: Loads of market stalls both good & not so good (crucial to have both for authenticity) + Cheap prices (read: no inflated-values to lure in cash-up hipsters) + Crazy astroturf playground area thingy that serves no discernible purpose but is still cool + Refreshing salt spray winging in off the beach + Ramshackle suburban feel + Amazing book stall selling loads of classics for, like, a few bucks a piece. There. I'm sorry. It's better this way. Trust me.

Sitting across from the markets at my fave eating place in Manly - Pure Wholefoods - we spied with…read moreour little eyes a market full of stalls and happy people. With sugarfree, gluten free, vegan muffins in hand, we strolled on over. There's about a gazillion stalls in here selling new and second hand goods. I picked up a swanky Panama hat, someone else picked up a swimming cossie that was a rad brand for an equally rad price. There's all the usual stalls you'd expect to see at a north shore market and then some others that intrigue you because they're not so common but all are brill. Other things I saw: - food - dancing people - dogs - playground - people laying - sandy feet
