As a family run business, the service reflects this. It's not too much trouble, as other Yelpers have mentioned, for the team to help you carry your shopping to the car. You get a choice of bag or box and there's a small section at the front of the store perfect for stocking up on slightly blemished produce for smoothies or juice. I most recently bought a bag of pineapples for $5 that have been well used in smoothies this week and even a chicken dish for dinner. There's also a small area for organic and gluten free flours, coconut oils, yoghurts, cheeses etc. All in all Charlie's is a one-stop shop and great for a weekly produce shop or for the one-off "I've run out of..." type of stop in. If you're not keen on driving to Everton Park, they also have online ordering with a flat $5 delivery.

I'm so glad I was able to try Charlie's while visiting Brisbane! My sister got me excited to try…read moretheir vegan delicacies, as well as browse their vast fruit selection. After being on the road traveling for close to two months, I had gotten used to eating what was cheap and convenient, not taking nutrition into consideration most of the time, so I was craving some colors in my diet. Charlie's had a few fruits I'd never seen before, one of which was a Jackfruit, cut open and on display. Also available were coconuts, passion fruit, pineapples and other tropical deliciousness. There's a small selection of dairy-free cheeses, yoghurts and ice creams, as well as other vegan food options. We decided to get something to snack on from the cafe section. I chose a falafel which, after reading another user's review, I realize I should have asked if they were made that morning because it was cold (which I wasn't expecting) as well as soggy. Unless it was freshly made, I wouldn't recommend it. My sister ordered the banana "nice-cream," which was sinfully creamy and somehow still 100% dairy-free. Even the chocolate drizzle on top fooled me! We also got a few of their smoothies, all of which had the option of being organic (for an extra charge) or regular. Overall, it was a fairly pricey but deliciously healthy mini meal. There's a lot of hype to this place but I think it's well-deserved - worth a visit!

My previous visits were underwhelming to say the least. This supermarket had become our emergency…read moremilk bar and not much else. The good news is that things have changed of late. A new owner means the shelves are full again with pretty good prices to match what you would pay at the local Woolworths or Coles in the area. Whilst they are still not quite going to suit all my grocery needs, we love that they stock some kiwi specialties to suit the other half in the household, and I'm happy to have a supermarket within walking distance that I'm happy to fill the gaps in my weekly shopping with. If you've been, but not for a while, then it's time to revisit your local IGA in Everton Hills.

It has the smell of a fresh produce market and it has plenty of supplies. The Vegetables and fruit are a mix and match of some absolute beauties and some majorly bruised up items. However, if you do take the time to dig though you'll be pleasantly rewarded with cheap prices. Also, there is the butcher that goes by the name of Chopshop. There's a range of fine cuts and diced meat in a wide variety of farmyard animals. In addition they have a smaller range of premade and marinated meats ready to slap onto the barbecue or the pan.

Ray is quite the butcher, with recommendations of meat and barbeque combination packs to how to cook your very expensive rib fillet roast for a very special occassion. Don't overcook it he said... as he pulled me aside and took me through a step by step. Much appreciated... although I did end up undercooking the piece of meat having underestimated the weight... or in my case... guestimated. I always appreciate butchers who don't feel the need to put glad wrap over all their meat because of flies or whatever reason they want to give... it just gives the impression the meat isn't fresh and no one has bought anything. These guys have the freshest reddest (not fake red, real fresh red!) meat on the market here. The prices are really good too and if you've had a hard day wheeling 2 young screaming kids around, these guys may even 'accidentally' throw in a spare crumbed lamb cutlet... because one looked kinda small. So generous in their nature, boisterous when called for, these guys know their meat and are proud to share the good meat knowledge. Will be back!
