Customer service is more often good, but i guess anyone staff member can have a bad day. The way the store is set out is logical - something other competitor stores painfully lack. The car park layout is average (not their fault). Only issues that stop me giving this 5 stars is: (1) only re-supply of stock once every 24 hours...so in the afternoons the meat supplies can be scarce, and (2) the freshness of their fruit and vegetables are not top notch - "moderate" quality. Maybe now that they have expanded and upgraded - these issues might get sorted? It appears that they are now getting more customers. Oh and one more thing - apparently asking for 'cash-out' at the start of morning is an unlikely task. Apparently they don't keep cash in the tills in the mornings - until they receive them from customers throughout the day?

Yes the rumours are true. If you were at the opening of The Market Shed last Sunday you too…read moreprobably would have seen me walking around like a pug in a bacon shop. Wide eyed, unable to breath properly from heart palpitations because "can't talk...too excited..." This place has gathered everything I love about Adelaide and plonked it into the trendiest warehouse shed thing at the back of IGA on Gilbert St. It's even run by the same SA family! Every Sunday from 9am-2pm this shed will open its doors to stallholders who want to sell their wares. From bakers to vegan cafes, coffee shops, seedling stalls and more this little collective of organic, vegan, raw and healthy food is all a bit too much for me. Want to try some kombucha? Hells yeah! How about a freshly steamed mussel from the coast of SA? Ok! It's like a farmers market but smaller, less crowded (not for long I'm sure) and is 5 minutes from my home so wins 5 stars in my books. So why only 4 stars then? I do think there needs to be more fresh fruit and veg options and a bit more diversity in stalls for people like me who want to do their week's shop here (ie. 3 bakeries in the one small location is a bit much). I am officially signed up as a Market Member already and for $20 per annum you get invited to private events at The Shed, receive discounts at stalls and a cool chopping board for progressive tasting plate specials from stalls each weekend. So if you have nothing to do next Sunday and want to see a spectacle, come on down to the Market Shed to see your resident pug faced, over excited local shopping, slurping coffee and getting her organic on.

There in only it's third market I found a variety of stalls & very enthusiastic producers - all of whom were willing to spend the time with every customer. A face-painter (only $3!) and musos at each corner of the space added to the enthusiastic vibe - tangible despite a couple of summer showers that may have kept larger hoardes of customers away. Despite it's small(er) size (of comparative markets such as the Adelaide Farmers Showgrounds Market) of 20-30 stalls, the array of stalls and the promises of more to come (think weekend evening members activities) have got my vote. Visit during 2013 to become a member for an amazing introductory price of $20 & support Adelaide's newest market with an organic, artisan & community focus!

With a huge range of fresh frozen seafood from international and national waters and a great selection of whole fish, fillets and marinara mixes we always come here to do our fish shopping. The staff are incredibly helpful and will take the time to find the best piece of fish for you (as well as recommend serving sizes if you are entertaining). Product sells out quickly on Saturdays so it is worth getting in early for the best cuts. However, if you go 1 hour before close all fillets are normally half price! I love that most of the fresh fish is sourced from SA (where they can) and the prices are so reasonable and often better than your supermarket stock. If you're doing some last minute entertaining then this is the place to go, with a range of dips, crackers, seasonings and even lemons in store to add to the perfect Saturday dinner!

Cappo's do a lot of trade to the restaurant and catering industry, and I can remember a time (god,…read moreshowing my age here, next I'll be saying "When I was a kid...") when it was a cash only trade selling a lot of offcuts of fish and broken prawns from the back door of the factory. These days it's a world apart, in fact strolling through the store just before Christmas I'd have to say it's one of the better seafood stores in Adelaide now - a tremendous range of fresh and snap frozen fish and seafood, and some truly beautiful prawns. Plenty of staff were on hand, partly due to the proximity to Christmas, I imagine, but they've worked out a good flowthrough for the store - and have all the associated extra's you're likely to need to prepare the produce - garlic, ginger, spices, oils, sauces, coatings abound as you approach the row of checkouts. Parking is good - for the silly season long weekends of Christmas & Easter it gets a little hectic, but otherwise there's plenty of space in the car park, even at it's busiest on Saturday mornings.

The meats inside this store really are quality, and while we have butchers closer to us, if we're out and about and can wing a trip past this place we will. The butchers really are friendly and the range is pretty decent as well. If you're stuck for meal ideas or if there's just too much selection for you to get your head around the staff will happily share their personal recommendations with you.

I was a bit disappointed by this one, usually they stock tonnes of vegan and vego specific brands you don't usually find in the shops but no fake-on or not dogs in sight. There were some great salads though that were pretty well priced when paying by the kilo between roughly $16-24, highly recommend the pumpkin and feta which saved our skins when we brought it as a last minute bbq present. So pretty stoked at that! Great hours and a god send for public holidays.
