This store is located next to Tapley's Charcoal Chickens, and I used to come in here to grab a few…read moreitems while I waited for my order. Not anymore. The last time I visited, the shop assistant was too busy out the back to notice I was even in there for the first 5 minutes (shoplifters delight). When he did emerge he proceeded to talk on his mobile phone LOUDLY discussing his personal business for the rest of my duration in the store, yep even while he served me. In a nutshell - taking poor service to a whole new level!

K-Food is like the Adelaide CBD's equivalent to 7-Eleven. I'm not too sure why 7-Eleven never…read morebranched out into Adelaide, but K-Food seems to be an appropriate response to Adelaide's 24 hour convenience needs. It seems like every few months more and more of these stores are popping up in new locations (albeit sometimes in very close proximity) - and I'm glad to see that business is thriving. What can be said about K-Food? They have everything you'd expect from a 24 hour convenience store, namely plenty of junk food, sodas, cigarettes, and personal necessities like pain-killers - a lot of things you shouldn't be having late at night! But the fact that they're there saves you from waiting until morning to get your late night fix, and that's a reality I'm pretty happy with. The thing I like particularly about this location is that the staff is always good to talk to - especially when the streets quiet down and the majority of the weekend warriors have called it a night. Not too long ago I came into K-Food late one night after playing a gig, and the store clerk and I spoke for almost 30 minutes about the Misfits and the evolution of punk music, as well as exchanging our band contacts. I've also had great conversations with a lot of the other store clerks here too, and it seems like the personnel at this shop is all-round good people. It's tough working the graveyard shift, especially with all the drunken hooligans making things even more difficult. So if you're feeling nice, go in and have a chat and make they're night a little more entertaining!

Oh K-Food! If it wasn't for you I may have passed out from dehydration when only a red bull will…read moredo. I may have suffered stink-breath (and the associated social rejection), if it wasn't for your chewy range waiting and ready to freshen my mouth in between brushes. I may have felt purposeless without your aisles to peruse in repeated circles, looking for that perfect munchie that will complete me. Of course I only visit you at 2am when these simple things seem like a matter of life and death. So for being open 24-7, I thankyou. In a nutshell - I heart my Kwik E Mart!

Lucky 7 is one of those overpriced convenient stores where you pay more for things because they're,…read morewell, convenient. Being right next door to where I live Lucky 7 is extra convenient. It's got your usual stuff like drinks, chips, mi goreng noodles, as well as the things you discover you need at the last minute like washing powder, stationery, and birthday candles. The main downside is the fact that they don't sell metro tickets, but they will change my notes into smaller coins so I can pay to do my laundry. It's a family owned business, and the owners are always friendly, and that's the real reason that I like popping in here.

I'll come out and admit, I'm a little turned on by a packed display of meat and antipasto offerings…read morein a chilled glass cabinet and this was what made me first fall for the City East IGA. Combine that with a consistently well stocked fruit and veg cabinet, fresh Kitchenhand Salads and Prepacked Gluten Free meals by Enzos this place is my go-to supermarket if I have had "one of those weekends," and haven't gotten a chance to go to Foodland. It's open late - even at the time of the evening when you're just starting to decide you might want a little bit of late night chocolate or gelati - this place will cater for you. I'm a big fan of their falafels which they get from Abdul's Kitchen but sometimes these are not as fresh as I would like. Even better is that this IGA has some of the friendliest staff around, particularly for check out chicks!

I used to live very close to this little independent grocer, so would stop in to pick up odd bits…read moreand pieces. I preferred to do most of my shopping at the Central Markets, as it was vastly cheaper, but they aren't open every day. Which brings me to the big winning point of IGAs, including this one. Opening hours. Despite their slightly higher prices, they manage to compete by being open later at night on weekdays and weekends. Each IGA is slightly different, and this one is quite vastly different to the IGA at the other end of Hutt St. This one is on the up-market side, stocking a wide range of gourmet products. The City East deli stocks a range of cakes, pastas, salads, quiches and antipasto. In the fridges you can pick up pre-made meals from a range of local producers. I used to keep my eye on the discount fridge, where deli products went to die. The fruit and veg section isn't awful, but pricier than most. There is a rudimentary few aisles of basic home needs like toilet paper and light bulbs. Next to the regular tinned veg and pasta section is a little stand with fancier Italian products - nice sauces and egg pastas. In the icecream freezer you'll find the Maggie Beer range. Not a bad supermarket all round, and I'm sure it hits the target market of young professionals or wealthier types living in the city.

Cafe Jetz is located just to the left when you first do the drive into the confusing Adelaide…read moreAirport. Really only utilised by staff by the surrounding businesses, Jetz is the perfect little place to get lunch on your work break. A stock standard little business cafe, you can get sandwiches, burgers, chips and gravy, sweets, pastries and there is plenty in the drinks fridge. The girls who work there are friendly and do a great job keeping up with what always turns out to be a huge lunch time rush. There are a few plastic tables inside and a few to sit at outside, but it's not somewhere you'd really think to 'go to' unless you just needed a quick sandwich. The chips and gravy are delicious and start from just $3 for a small bag and $5.50 for the styrofoam carton with chips and gravy. My favourite, the chicken, lettuce and mayo sandwich comes in at about $4.80 and the roast beef and gravy roll looks good too. They open weekdays and they open early for those who start at ridiculous hours!

They do these things called lepinjas and they offer them in varieties such as 'smoked salmon with cream cheese an capers with Spanish onion' and 'turkey with delicious pesto and assorted other goodness' and they all taste like angel's tears. As a very special secret tip, try their steak sandwich with the lot. Eggs. Bacon. Onions. Steak. Other good things. It will give you a heart attack, but you will die crying happy tears so at worst you break even.
