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.

There isn't that much in Woolworths that we need, but it still makes us happy to pay a quick visit every once in a while after work. Everything you need in a grocery store is here. I just wish it was as big as the Wal-Mart I saw in Texas. Depending on what you need, you can spend anywhere from $10 to $120 as you exit the store. By the way, I scored a brand new computer desk lamp for only $19.95!! Where else can you buy such a thing for a low price? That's half the price of the lamps that rip you off at other places! I needed one desperately for my long hours of yelping in front of the computer because the old lamp that served me for 15+ years finally ran out of globe life. If you hunt properly, you can actually find some great grabs for less than $5! They're always doing low-price promotions here! I love it! I don't usually carry much cash, but that's okay! There are plenty of those swiping machines for you to use now, when you've collected all your items. Yay! God bless the staff in green for helping everyone out when they're stuck on the swiping machines, as we walk out. God bless this new invention for supermarkets! I wonder if any other non-grocery stores will take this concept on? So I walked out with new boxes of tissues for my hayfever in less than 5 minutes. In and out. If only I had more cash for groceries, I'd actually love this store because they are the number one most profitable supermarket business in Adelaide, and none of their competitors come close to the amount of profits "Woolies" make every year. And I must commend the staff in their green uniform, thank you for the friendly chat when I needed to decide which orange juice to buy, and the difference between the Aussie juices and the imported juices. However, this depends where you are exactly. If you're shopping on the upper level (there are only two levels), then you have a very slim chance of being helped in the aisles (no-one's there!), and that's not right because that's where customers need the most help = finding things! Nevertheless, I ALWAYS find myself drifting back and forth inside here everytime I'm in Rundle Mall. I confess, I'm a certified Woolworths regular.

Now, it is about time Adelaide had a place like this. I would like to start this review by saying…read morethank you to Monday's for gracing our CBD with your charm, damn fine coffee and amazing service. This is something we Adelaideians have been missing out on for a long time. The décor design of the cafe is what first catches your eye. The lovely shop front windows, minimalist and simplistic store layout. I love the pipe shelving which displays different coffees that can be purchased for home. As for the brew, well there are only fine coffee to chose from. So no matter your choice, you will know that your coffee has been carefully curated. In saying that, I cannot fault any coffee I have tried here. Not only is there quality coffee, there is also a selection of beautiful teas. I tried their Oolong Tea, which was divine and high grade. It was not bitter, that is a good way to tell. Again, it is attention to detail that is making Monday's so successful. Take note of the beautiful coffee/tea cups you are drinking from. As for the service, well, the staff here are just so lovely and welcoming. Expect to feel recharged and leave with a smile when you visit Monday's on any day of the week.

They have an organic store where one can do grocery shopping. My sister got herself some vegan and organic stuff here. I got vegan scone with vegan butter - it was good!

One of my favourite spots to stop for coffee, lunch or cake is the Organic Market Café. Set up on a side street to the main road, the Organic Market Café is a popular destination for locals and visitors to the Adelaide Hills. They offer a range of food, beverages and a market store out back. If you are looking for grains, organic veggies, teas, olives, oils, pastas, etc you will find it here. They stock quality specially picked products from around Australia and some imports. They fruit and Veg here is really fresh and flavoursome. For those sceptics on the quality of organic foods I ask you to try an apple from this store. You will notice the flavour is more intense, it is crisp and juicy. This is the result on fresh (not frozen) food. As for the dining experience, well there are a lot of beautiful healthy and veggie heavy items for you to choose from. My favourite in particular is the antipasto platter. Order it and you can thank me later. They pickle their own veggies and make their own dips. Also, if it is cold and you need to warm up while you are in the hills, check out the soup of the day. They have a great selection and served with warm crusty bread. Super yummy! For those with dogs, this is a pet friendly café out the front area. There are many people who bring their pups along to stop for a coffee. So, don't feel shy!

You can pick up Coorong Angus beef, Pure Suffolk, Hay Valley Lamb, Limestone free range beef and my favourite, Spear Creek Dorper Lamb, as well as many other local products. If you're looking for cheap by all means shop at Woolworths across the way (many others do). But if you want quality produce for your guests where they can taste the difference, this is a great place to shop. They also have a great website with loads of recipes and an online store where you can order meat to be delivered. Feast at Unley offers truly outstanding products and lovely, old-fashioned service.

The sausages were yummy and I will be back to try their chicken, cinnamon and apple sausages or traditional gourmet chicken variety. High end prices but excellent quality product.

Looking like a cool place with decor you'd find on Pinterest (fairy lights, candles, perfectly mismatched furniture) and great music. The food was actually unbelievable. I can not think of a time when it has been trumped in recent days. I had a pizza & it was the best one I'd ever had. Perfectly charcoaled, amazing flavour - not oily OR dry. Perfect. My partner had the Mexican chicken burger which had tons of chicken & he RAVED about it! We have already ordered dessert & we have planned to come back with friend for birthdays. Hidden in a perfect place where we can easily walk across the road for some live music too. Perfect for a Romantic date or a group of friends! Love.

First time here on Saturday lunch time and it was nice…read more We sat in the outside area and it had a very rustic feel. I enjoyed my pizza toppings as it was everything I would usually add to my pizza so it was great for it to already come as is... Some parts of the base were slightly soggy but only in a few spots but other than that it was nice and crispy. My husband had the deli big breakfast but he thought it was a bit too organic for his liking with the taste (the bacon did have an unusual flavour/spice taste) and the bread did not come with butter not did they ask if we would like any. It was a really chilled out vibe which is ok in general but maybe a bit too relaxed that the wait staff did not even clear up our plates until we left so we had to sit chatting after we had finished with our dirty plates in front of us. I had an enjoyable time on the day but would not be rushing back unless I was in the area or had another entertainment book coupon. Thank you for reading :)

You CAN pay over the odds at a BP service station, there's two open 24/7 in the area - however if you're not going at paying two to three times what the can of catfood is worth at your local supermarket, you CAN go to the IGA... Open till midnight, this is often a lifesaver for me - 15 years after leaving the Gold Coast I still have the odd lapse of concentration and forget I live in Adelaide, home of the 5pm closure, rather than a 24 hour fantasmogoria of shopping opportunities. You can get everything here from cat food to breakfast cereal, and the store is open till midnight. OMG, midnight, whatever is Adelaide coming to??? Until Campbelltown gets a 24 hour shop of some kind, the IGA is it. It provides absolute gold by being open way past the time every other supermarket has curled up with it's pillow and a nice fluffy doona. Kudo's IGA, I love you!!!

I find myself here a lot actually, I should probably organise myself a little better, but then again I know this place is here as a sort of grocery safety net.

Ok, I know it seems rather silly to be writing about a giant supermarket that nobody will miss if…read morethey ever enter chinatown, but this one holds special significance to me and used to me a nightly haunt for me whenever I was up late at uni and needed a place to walk around or just restock on red bull and chips in the middle of the night. The only supermarket in town that opens again after midnight, it was like a beacon of hope for all those international students who had come to Adelaide not realizing that most places closed at 5pm and there was literally nowhere to go at night in order to shop. It has gotten better since back in those days, with shops opening up to 7pm or 7:30pm I think along Rundle Street, but back then, you'd go to Coles in chinatown after 12 and you'd see mostly asian people walking through the aisles, not necessarily to buy anything, but just to walk amongst potentially purchasable goods. I'm not one to judge, as I used to be one of them and really do appreciate Coles giving me a place I could go to in the middle of the night. Since moving away from the city, I have found an IGA near my place that never closes. Still, first's will always be firsts, and the chinatown Coles will always hold a special place in my heart that no other supermarket can replace.

You can enter either from Grote St or from the inside markets, to save you walking all the way around. Apart from the fact that I see everyone here, from old friends to old teachers, what makes this Coles great is that it sells things like imported gelatine, Korean wafers, and other international brands. Being on the brink of Chinatown probably explains why it stocks these amazing creations. Additionally, the staff are always friendly and cheerful, and ready to help. My shopping experiences have been nothing but pleasant here. Oh, and did I mention that they're open from midnight, Mondays to Saturdays? How convenient for all you nocturnal folk!
