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.

A gorgeous butcher / deli in Cammeray. Their products are high quality and expensive. It's the…read moreplace to go look for a variety of dry aged and organic meats, cold cuts, sauces and condiments. They also have a variety of other food products and items from the fridge / freezer. I have been here many times and the quality is consistent. They often have different home made sausages and other ready to cook meats. I like coming here and buying ingredients for a BBQ or for some special meal that requires specific kinds of meats or other ingredients.

This butcher...high prices which I can handle but meat is always rubbish...never again. Go Castlecrag, bit further to drive but Phil always delivers on quality!!

Sensational Sausages the sign says. Up in the window in large letters they brag about their…read moreflavoured bangers, they ignore their top quality meat and talk and their sangers! Well if you try their flavoured sausages you'll understand why. Not just beef but lamb, chicken, duck and pork - all are utilised as well as fresh herbs. Wonderful and flavourful combinations that will keep you going back. The prices are high but knowing that they were made by a butcher and not mass produced makes them special. If you want to buy them for a barbecue, make sure you're no doing the cooking or they will disappear before you get any yourself.

Great traditional butchers - love the banter with the guys behind the counter…read more The chicken satay sticks are great and the marinated beef flat roasts are excellent value for the BBQ and most importantly the usually have a great range of dog bones - the cannon bones are great value and come pre sliced in half - my labradors just love them! On the weekends they have a BBQ going outside and giveaway samples of their sensational sausages which come in many flavours

My little sister told me about this place. We've never been to Camden and it wasn't what we…read moreexpected, we were pleasantly surprised. This place was also a little gem. We came on a Saturday morning on our way down south and had some cheesey cheesey sandwiches to eat for our mid morning snack. We were adventurous, well adventurous for us (!) and had the blue cheese and Comte ones. So very very tasty! Be prepared they don't have coffee (gasp!) but they welcome you to bring your own - so my hubby tells me when he spoke to them. I had their organic hot chocolate spiced with cinammon. Can't say I loved It but I still finished and enjoyed it that cold morning! They have an interesting and vast selection of cheeses. They have a cheese club that you can join for one month, 3 months or a year and you get to have a go at some different cheeses. Sounded cool except we live too far to come each Friday or Saturday to pick it up! They have great and wide variety of local products in store including teas, granola and desert road to name a few! ( we took some desert road for the road trip!) So if you're in Camden and have a hankering for cheese and not coffee, come here and give it a go!

This place was exceptional. We came for dessert and had bread pudding, sticky date pudding, and…read moreNutella crepes. All amazing. And servings are very generous. If you are thinking of coming here, don't think, just come here. You will love it.

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?

Although a bit on the expensive side, this place offers you a great selection of healthy and very…read moretasty dishes. You can either eat in store, have your food to go, or even browse through their store where they sell dried fruits, seeds and nuts. It was a great choice for my girlfriend and I, since we like to be health-concious.

Whereas I mentioned that the staff at Café Harris always seem to be happy and smiling (apart from…read morewhen they're shouting at each other in Korean, but even that doesn't seem too bad), the staff at Lush Bucket always seem to be angry about something. Not angry at each other, they appear to get on with one another, just generally a bit grouchy! I've worked in hospitality, I know the joys of having to deal with demanding customers when you're really not feeling great, but I think these people might be in the wrong game. Although to be fair, they do make a good, strong coffee, which is the reason I go and their muesli with yoghurt and stewed fruit was fantastic, but seriously, the service could do with a once over. They do a good selection of sandwiches ($7.90) and apparently their pasta is pretty good too (price dependent on size). But at the end of the day, as long as I get a decent coffee I don't really mind if the barista isn't in the best mood.
