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.

I did not expect Coles being a supermarket in the middle of CBD would be that sizable! This…read morelocation though not really close to my hotel but worth coming by to check it out in the area. 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.

Maloney's Grocer deserves a mention for the simple fact that it stocks the most delicious chocolate…read morein the world. Conscious Chocolate's Raw Cacao with 60% cacao, naturally sweetened with agave nectar, is raw, organic, handmade and vegan, with low GI, no soy, no added sugar and gluten free. So basically, it's chocolate that is not only delicious, but that is good for you - or so I'm able to convince myself. Maloney's is fantastic for a bunch of other reasons as well - namely their amazing salads, gluten free products, fantastic range of fruit and veg, and tasty fresh gluten free vegetarian lasagne. So you should go there - and buy some Conscious Chocolate.

Maloney's also have great packaged up veggies for snacking. 4. The selection of great sauces, jams, dips etc. 5. The coffee is really very good. You'll pay through the nose for everything at Maloney's but you are paying for quality.

Banana Joe's was first opened as a fruit & veg market by Joe himself back in 1984, and has since expanded to include a great deli section and butcher. They have a huuuge cheese selection for a local supermarket, plus plenty of olives and a great range of organic products - ahh, Marrickville I love you. They also have some of the best Turkish delight I've ever tasted. Available in almond, vanilla and rose, it'll set you back just a few dollars for a plate and is great to take along to dinner parties. (Look near the dried fruit and nut section in the fresh fruit department.) The Banana Joe's website has a great tabouli recipe too!

I love Banana Joes…read more They have much better produce than Coles or Woolies and lots of specialty gluten free items, cheeses, cured meats and... just other quirky things, sometimes organic and health foodish, sometimes ethnic that are really good and/or hard to find. They have Chobani Greek Yoghurt (hit or miss at other supermarkets) and if they could just get on the Puregg Egg White train, I could ditch Woolies at Marrickville Metro completely and just shop here.

His sandwich looked delicious and he was happy with it *holy cow* these eggs were incredible. I happen to love scrambled eggs, and cheese, so it's no surprise that they blew my mind but the concept was so perfectly executed. They were cooked perfectly, and truly had that unique cacio e pepe taste.

So I went to a fish and chip stall and ordered the Grilled Barramundi with the chips and greens accompanied with tomato sauce and Peri Peri sauce. It was the first ime trying Barramundi. The fish was cooked right and the grill marks were spot on, however Barramundi like the Tilapia was quite bland. So I added the Peri Peri sauce it became a little sweeter. TheChips or Fries were crisp and delicious better than your fast food fries, and the tomato sauces was sweet without all the additives. Overall it filled me throughout the day even though throughout the world portions are smaller than USA.

The have their own bakery section, and hot food items, as you can choose and maybe try items on promotion, ( this lady is offering me tasting of roast chicken while I'm writing on this review ). Well, on top of that they also offer free wi fi.. I know it sound a bit unusual but I think they want people to shop over here and who ever giving company feel very comfortable to be able to browse the net and write review on yelp.

Woolworths is a grocery chain? I thought I had been given a bad bit of information when I asked…read morewhere the nearest grocery store was located, for in the States, if there are even Woolworths left, they are the old "five and dime" type stores that stock a bunch of stiff but not groceries. But here it was. Conveniently located to my hotel on the lower level of the mall ( another misnomer for me for I was told it was on the 2nd level, which I automatically assumed was upstairs and not down) plenty of fresh produce, lots of fresh deli items and even a number of drug store items. The check out was fast and effiencient and I loved that credit card orders under $35 do not require a signature. All in all super convenient, decent prices and a large selection for a city center location.

Disgusting. They sell items beyond food, but have the arrogance to say no refund, go spend your money in the store only. As if we don't spend enough and regularly. Whoever enforced that rule should be sacked. It might make your bottom line look better in the short term, but in the long term having such atrocious disrespectful customer service to regular customers, will see this company go down hill in the future. They think they are being smart, but they are actually creating long term business suicide. I know every company will take my money, but I watch to see if I return something how they treat me. Woolworths, you have a bad egg at the top of your food chain, with ZERO knowledge of customer service!!
