Derelict and abandoned former milk bars are sadly littered all over Brunswick, in all likelihood…read moredue to the proliferation of supermarkets along the main streets. As such, it's always heart-warming to see those located off the main streets that have so far managed to survive. The nameless milk bar located at 208 Victoria St makes me smile for this very reason. It's an old style corner store, a cramped and compacted trove of everyday goods, from milk, bread, newspapers, magazines and eggs through to two minute noodles, tuna, tampons and anything else you might want to grab at the last minute. It features a better-than-average collection of loose lollies, and stocks a couple of your more obscure drinks varieties, though only a couple. Sweet, convenient and open seven days.

My housemate had fallen ill and needed some Soda Water, so instead of venturing a few more minutes down the road to Woolworths, i stopped in here and my god i left just as soon as i entered. I looked in the fridge and saw that a 2L Soda Water was around $4. This is something that the local Woolies stocks for 80c - $1. I understand that this small independent business is something of a dying sort but i'm not comfortable paying twice or three times as much for something i can get a few hundred meters down the road.

The name of this place suggests that this small family-run store, which has been here for over 30…read moreyears or more, is an in fact a convenience store. Phooey! I totally disagree with that and therefore refer to it as a milkbar, because that's exactly what it is. After all, milkbars are a dying rapidly and only a few now remain, like this one, and I'll be damned if I start referring to it as a convenience store. I don't know how many times I'd be on my way to work and completely forget to bring some change for the ticket machine on the tram. And, like a mirage in the desert, this little milkbar would come to my aid. It also looks after me on all those days when nothing can take away your troubles like an impulse buy of ice cream or chocolate on the way home. The prices can be a little higher than other places but for the people situated around this milkbar, and forgetful little me, the convince it provides more than outweighs the extra few dollars. Plus I quite enjoy the friendless and familiarity you get from regularly coming to a small place like this which you'd never get from a supermarket no matter times you go there or how much you spend. I applaud these guys for keeping the legacy of suburban milkbars alive.

Not only located in such a convenient location to us but the staff here are super nice. When we ran…read moreout of coffee pods we decided to try they're 80cent coffee which was surprisingly better than expected coming from simply a machine. It was consistent at least which is hard to say about some local cafes. These guys also have clearance specials quite regularly, sell Zymil (lactose free milk) & $10 quilton toilet paper for emergencies. They also tend to be a tad cheaper than some of the petrol stations on Hoddle.. I don't know why one street can have 5 different petrol prices! Anyways these guys are the best. Go here. Do it!

Most of the time it's the best price for petrolread more

This convenience store in Collins Street was my saving grace and office escape in the corporate…read moreworld prior to working for myself as a freelance writer. One used to feel a little like a kid walking into a candy store at the time, and there would be some days where they would have items for purchase for only $1 to celebrate a particular time of day, and most recently their birthday. Cherry Ripe here I come. The staff always seem to be so glad to see you, it isn't stock standard chain based convenience store service. You would feel kind of special. The Freddo frogs (although simple) was a big deal at the time, like my office survival kit: especially during the last three months of my corporate career. They would always have specials for buying four Freddo frogs of different varieties at any given moment, and this convenience store would run the occasional competition where a pre-paid Visa card was up for grabs to entice you into buying more chocolate which stocked up my survival kit when one needed it stocked up the most. The ambience was inviting, especially the owl and inside (although a bit of tight space at times) allured that welcoming feeling for the tired office worker.
