Don't be put off by the exterior, Tan Hong Phat Asian Groceries is packed full of interesting…read morethings to stock your pantry with and shove down your gullet on the way home. If there's an unusual ingredient you need for an Asian recipe, chances are you'll fine it here. From curry powder to tinned jelly to plates to shoes to unusual lollies, you'll have fun browsing the random goods on the shelves. Of course, there's also all the usuals like rice, coconut milk, bamboo shoots and fresh fruit and vegies. There's also a really good selection of refrigerated rice noodles and rice paper sheets of all sizes.

Very helpful. I was looking for pandan paste to make waffles and called to check if the shop…read morestocked it. The shop assistant explained how to use fresh pandan.

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.

You might drive past and think, oh, I need more than fruit, I have to go to a supermarket. But stop…read moreright there, this place has loads of stuff that just might cover your shopping list and save you going to Marrickville Metro or some other horrific place. The fruit and vegies are in abundance, as you would expect, and they are fresh, good quality and reasonably priced. There is also fresh bread, a fridge with deli meats, a thousand kinds of cheeses, dairy products and milk. At the back there is all kinds of pasta and sauces as well as toiletries and cleaning products. The back freezers have ready made pasta, ice cream and things like frozen berries. The righ hand side wall is tin central, with any kind of food in a tin or jar you would want. I wish I could do a whole inventory but I think its safe to say that this place has pretty much everything. Special mention for the bunches of flowers at the front of store near the registers. They are always beautiful and look amazing, fantastic quality. And extremely cheap! I would recommend getting flowers here than at a florist, as they are top quality and last for ages.

Just stopped in for the first time. More than just fruit, it's a full grocery store, with milk and…read morecheese and tinned goods and 3kg jars of sauerkraut. Lots of Asian foodstuffs, too. Prices seem reasonable for a small independent outfit. The fruit and veg is abundant and prices seem pretty good for the in-season stuff. Some of it's not as shiny and spotless as the stuff you get at the big grocery chains, but who cares?

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.

If you like bo-ho in the city then this is THE place to be. Organic Food Markets are located at The…read moreAddison Road Centre Marrickville and are on every Sunday rain, hail or shine. 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!

The fruits and vegetables are always fresh (though they don't always have everything as they buy…read moreseasonally). Range of cheeses, dairy and meats also good, sometimes a little pricey due to 'organic' bend, but there is also a good range of staples at comparable prices to the local Foodworks. great range of frozen treats as well as beans, pasta and rice. their pet food is cheaper tan the local big supermarket. The guys who run it are super nice and friendly. if you need vegan, gluten free etc, there are good ranges for you. wish they had a cheaper spice range (only stock organic).
