The best thing about Coles Port Melbourne I have found is their self serve salads and fresh fruit bar. All choices are cut up conveniently and they even offer muesli and yoghurt as an additional add on. Salads are no longer a bore with quick easy alternatives that make for great accompaniments for last minute meal ideas on the way home form work.

As a supermarket, Maxi Foods sits somewhere between a regular supermarket and a specialty market…read more Stocking your regular staples you can pick up your usual shopping here, including fresh fruit and veg, and meat and even alcohol in the liquor section. What I like about Maxi is the odd items you wont find at Coles. The cereal section for instance is a do-it-yourself affair, where you pick and choose form open canisters and fill up your bag of muesli or cereal by weight. The shelves too are quite industrial, and it gives the place a warehouse feel that most city stores would consider boutique.

And right next the entrance of Melbourne Central Station there is this grocery store. " The Urban Asian Grocery" reads the slogan on the pillar out front. It had great range of chips with all kinds of Asian flavors, like masala. And the guys kind of compete to bring unusual chip flavors when they come over for our regular Wednesday night games night. This week I had the most novel flavor of chips. Otherwise it is a pretty regular grocery store - what more can I say?

Don't be confused by the name and go here thinking its a Woolies type grocery store. It is, as the…read moresign at the entrance suggests, an Asian specialty food market. Sure, they've got a good variety of Asian goods, yeah its in a central location in Melbourne Central conveniently near the train station, and it is clean and pretty. However, I can get the same, if not better, large range of Asian rices, noodles, sauces, herbs and spices from my favoured local markets around Glenroy, with friendlier and more helpful service and at prices that make me smile, not cringe.

With an Aldi and a Coles in throwing distance, the fact that this greengrocer is always busy proves that people do care when buying produce, and would rather get it fresh than from a supermarket.

Or are there other activities in close proximity so getting groceries won't be just a chore? ~ Cleanliness. Nothing is worse than heading a supermarket where the products that are supposed to be new feel dirty and cheap. I'm a cheapass, but I don't want to feel like it! ~ Service. Supermarkets are big and sometimes when you can't find something, you need to swallow your pride and ask for it. Do the staff give you shit, or are they actually helpful? This particular Coles hits 2/3. It's located just at the Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, so you could do a bit if shopping after a film, quick browse at IKEA, whatever floats your boat. It's relatively clean and spacious with a wide selection inside as well. The only mark that Coles doesn't hit is the customer service. I've experienced a lot of staff members that stare blankly like deer caught in headlights whenever I ask them a question. Convenient and moderately priced! Just try to avoid asking anyone for anything.
