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.

Chocolates, sweets, pretzels, nuts, rice crackers, you name it Maloneys have it in a tub. 3. Great quality fruit and vege and lots of it! 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.

This is my go-to local supermarket. Open 'til late seven days a week, the prices are pretty good…read moreand the range is great. 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.

This place is a specialist green grocer so if your expecting good quality produce and more gourmet…read morechoices this is the spot for you. Different to the likes of Coles and Woolies. It has a large selection of fresh fruit and veg that looks so shiny and ready to be eaten. Great cheese counter as well as Deli that sells a wide range of salads and ready to eat meals. Specialist sauces and overseas products can be found here as its a bit more upmarket. Got a really nice looking cafe at the front as well cause grocery shopping can be hard work. I wouldn't do a full shop from here but definitely nice to treat ourselves every know and then to some specialist cakes , chocolates , smoothies or delicious meals every once in a while. Staff are friendly and the store is incredibly clean looking.

The staff are all friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable as well. Parisi's carries many international foods, too! For me, that means during the holiday season, I can make many of my favourites from America. Prices are definitely a bit higher than when you shop at your local grocery store but then again, their produce specifically, is a usually better quality. And well worth the price! I highly recommend Parisi's Food Court! You'll thank me once you've given them a try!!

Addison Road Centre is the country's largest not-for-profit community centre. It's host to a bunch…read moreof different groups (including Reverse Garbage), but I come here for the organic markets. Every Sunday from 8.30am to 3pm, the place is buzzing with stalls and shoppers. There's a bunch of food available for noshing right away (great smoothies, juices, coffees, cakes, wraps, spring rolls, etc) as well as a huge range of fruit and veg, dried pasta, cheese, wine, tapenades and more. If you're set on eating organic, look out for the yellow Certified Organic signs on the stalls, or ask the operators. If you keep walking towards the back, you'll also find a bunch of clothing, soaps, cards, antiques and enviro-friendly stalls too. There are a few tables scattered around and usually some musical entertainment, or keep walking to the end of the line and you'll find a grassy field to sit and guzzle your purchases. The 428 city bus stops right outside the font gate or there's plenty of free parking available in the surrounding streets.

From the eclectic to the eccentric, from organic to conventional, eco-friendly, chai-tentingly chillaxing this market would have to be THE best Organic Market Sydney's Inner West around. This can be seen in the choice of foods/produce to specialty products is a true reflection on how diverse the population who shop here week-in week-out. Such is their devotion some will travel from as far as Blue Mountains simply to achieve their weekly Organic fix! Best bit being that they are on rail, hail or shine! This market has something for everyone including the kids:jumping castles, pony rides, babycino, eco friendly baby food and clothing and SO much more. The Raw and Vegan community are more than able to be satisfied at this market, as well as those with a sweet tooth! Could NOT recommend this market highly enough than already done! Do an online search for these markets and the number of blogs are a testament as to its love not just by the public but by the stallholders as well!

How long has this been here? It looks new. Hells, it smells new. I licked one of the walls and,…read moreyep, even tastes new. Bondi has been screaming out for more supermarkets, and big, well-stocked, healthy ones at that. There's a ton of bars, and a ton of over-priced boutiques, but not really that many fresh food retailers. This joint will go off. They've got monster stacks of colourful fruit & vegetables, trays of exotic things with even more exotic names, a small goods and meat section, olives stuffed with anchovies, tabouli, pasta salads, fresh juices, vegetable chips, and tons and tons more. Oh and they were giving away tubs of free yoghurt near the cashiers the day I went. Free yoghurt! What fresh madness is this? I thought about taking two but the woman behind me had judgey eyes so I couldn't.

Very pricey compared to a bigger grocery chain…read more They used to have a decent selection of groceries but now the shelves are usually bare. It's a gamble wether or not you will be cooking dinner if you shop here. Today the store looked like they were selling up shop. 80% of the store was empty shelves, freezers and fridges. They still had fruit and veg as it's the front display. Disappointing as they are in a great location.

Solid local independent grocer. As with all independents a lot of things are a bit pricey, but…read moretheir fruit and veg is good, staff are nice and there are occasionally some bargains to be found.

It's very much tailored to the wealthy sophisticated high end Double Bayites ( how I imagine they want to be labeled). The store is quite large and offers what you would find in most of their stores along with more like a cafe, pizza counter, bakery and deli counter which aren't available in all their stores. The store also offers a large cosmetics and Health & Beauty section. While the section looks amazing it's missing the personal touch that's offered in pharmacy and beauty department stores in terms of service. The sections are well stocked but should you need advice it's not available or on offer. The store is definitely easy on the eye and there are plenty of self serve checkouts and checkout counters to get you in and out in a reasonable time.

It does not feel right being the first writer to review this Coles Supermarket. Now having…read morediscovered this Coles, I feel rather lucky to come to Yoga inside the shopping centre where this supermarket is situated once a week; and on this I always make a visit to Coles at Westfield Bondi Junction without fail. Pity they don't award Qantas Frequent Flyer Points for purchases over $30 like their major competitor does. The airy ambience and bright lighting is so welcoming. Love the fresh fruit display as you walk in. Fresh quality fruit, and ever so welcoming. Love a kilo of Red Delicious Apples ($5.50) in particular, they're juicy as. I stock up on these for the next few days ahead. The pizza bar right near the sit down (or take away) sushi bar and cafe is just amazing. I have tried the meat lovers and tropicana pizzas ($5 a slice in the past), and today I enjoyed a full serve of some Peri Peri Chicken Pizza ($5) while killing some time prior to an important dentists appointment. Generous pieces of chicken with the right amount of tangy sauce, with a few pieces of sun dried tomato succumbed to the senses and hit the spot at around 11am. These ingredients are clearly fresh, and they combine well with the cheese - mmmm swiss cheese. Today, there were samples of this and the grilled haloumi and pumpkin pizza for free - such a filling lunch in itself. There were also free samples of some hot chicken curry pie, and in the deli section some beautiful meats and cheeses to try. You do not feel like you've stepped into a supermarket when in these areas, and the service is friendly and consistently good. You can even pay for your groceries at the pizza bar. Coconut water never seems to escape you at this particular Coles either. I stock up (as best as possible) on 1 litre bottles of coconut water from here despite the constant fluctuations on prices (inflation, excuse me) with an abundance of these always on special. I need such for my daily green elixir that appears to be working, although not in areas of my body where I really want (and need it to) as of late. You can move quickly in the self service checkouts too. Come here for: * Piping hot pizza slices for five bucks - tick. * Free food samples (if you're lucky) - tick, tick. * Fresh fruit - tick, tick, tick. * Coconut water at inflated prices - tick, tick, tick, tick.
