Fresh, Convenient, Cheap When it comes to grocery shopping,…read morethose are the catchcries of our time. Bellas Fruit shop fulfils all three categories. Fresh - The vine ripened tomatoes here make me crave bruschetta with their sweet smell and the bright red blush of their skins. Convenient - there's always parking here. It's next door to a bakery, deli and butchers so you can do half your weekly shop in this complex alone. Cheap - like all fruitgrocers, prices are a little cheaper here than at Woolworths or Coles. This is especially obvious during the summer months when you can buy cheap trays of mangoes and also year round with their avocadoes. While I wouldn't recommend driving across town purely for this greengrocer, residents of Eight Mile Plains, Sunnybank, Macgregor, Wishart and even Mount Gravatt should give this place a yelp.

Thankfully, they came through with the goods but given their range of gourmet items, deli meats, fresh produce and cheese I was also now at the mercy of so much more than my hunt for buckwheat flour. No, I don't know how I also managed to buy moroccan spiced broad beans. Fresh Sensations, located near Coles in the bottom floor of Carindale Shopping centre, looks schmick and offers just as schmick looking products. If you're local and need a place to buy quality and niche food items this would be my pick.

You might ask why I would go this effort? Well, I'll tell you. At this "Self Serve Fruit Mart" the produce is fresher, the prices are lower and service is friendlier than any Coles/Woolworths experience I've had. Not only that, but the produce is all seasonal and chances are the farmer who grew it is benefitting much more from the stock sold. I am a HUGE believer in supporting local business, so if you're in, around or even ever in West End, I would highly recommend you pick up your weeks groceries from somewhere like Charlie & Liz's Self Serve Fruit Mart. Not only will you save money, but what you spend will be feeding the local economy and helping more locals out.

My legs keep going but my head and neck kind of lag behind, the voice in my head saying, "Maybe I NEED some of those mangoes or perhaps a pineapple." Whilst this is a nice little fruit and veg shop with temptingly displayed produce, I'd never do all my fruit and veg shopping here as it's too small and too expensive. I try to do a bulk shop on the weekend at either The Gabba Fruit Market or the Davies Park Markets, where you really get value for money, but if I forget something, I'd much rather pop into Charlie & Liz's than go to Coles. It's a handy little store, in the middle of Boundary Street, the produce is good and supporting small businesses is always good.

It has a bit of a warehouse feel, and some clearance sales lying around, but also a fairly respectable selection, including things that aren't all that easy to find; some nice vegetarian specialty items and a decent international section. They have ample fresh fruits and vegetables and a lot of dried beans and grains, so we're not talking unhealthy food either. The location is reasonably convenient, near the hospital with ample bus access and a train station on the other side of the hospital. Some of the sale items will understandably be a tad sketch, buy you can certainly find some deals here.

As you'll see in my review of the Gabba Fruit Market, I'm a little bit attached to it. However, I…read morewas driving past Mother of All Fruits the other day and decided to check it out. I've gotta say, I was pretty impressed with the range and presentation of fruit and veg. Tucked just inside a Spar-owned shopping centre, Mother of All Fruits occupies a huge floor space. Most of this is taken up by rows of fresh produce, but there's also a section for packaged and frozen goods. The range of fruit and veg is great and their herbs come in huge bunches for around $2.95 each. There are also lots of "bucket" specials to be had where you get a reduced price for buying a large amount. For $30, I filled a green bag and walked out with a tray of 20 bowen mangoes. Pretty good value, especially the $10 tray of mangoes. Whilst extremely well organised and well presented, the only thing I don't like about this produce store is that it feels a little too much like a supermarket. I remain faithful to the Gabba Fruit Market, which has a more local feel to it and has a less hectic carpark.

Instead, you become sidetracked by all the lovely deli products on offer and before you know it, your basket is full of French cheese, home-style lemonade and artisan ice-cream. (Oh and there might be a cucumber or carrot someone in there.) Rock'n'Roll Market Place is a really fun place to shop if wanting to treat yourself to some nice, fancy foods, but not great if all you want to do is get your basics for a reasonable price. The fruit and veg there is a bit too pricey for me, but the quality is good and all the food is displayed well. Staff are extremely friendly, making this a pleasant place to shop and with a baker and butcher either side, it's conveniently placed. I would say it's a good place to shop for a weekend treat or special picnic.

We stopped for breakfast at Cove Cafe and had a delicious breakfast of poached eggs but a 35min wait for our 2 coffees was ridiculous. Next time I would just go to one of the stalls for coffee as Cove did not cope well with the increased demand. There are a few things that could be improved (narrow walkways, lack of stock on many stalls, cramped stalls), and the organisers seem to be receptive to feedback on social media. As a local I will definitely be back but may give it a couple of weeks to see if the crowds die down.

Brisbane really likes its farmer's markets. I'm not averse to this trend, but Carseldine (which I…read moredo not live near but ended up at by happenstance) was a bit far for me. The setting is quieter and has more space than some of the more urban markets, but the selection, while worthwhile, is no better than any of the others. While I found things to eat, it also didn't quite have the great spread of vegetarian options I have become accustomed to elsewhere. I'm more about the prepared food vendors, but I wasn't especially impressed with their actual vegetables, nor the other crafts. Transit-wise, it's walkable from the train stop nearby and there is a bus that runs by. If you're in the neighborhood, I'd check it out, but no reason to travel any great distance to get here.

The outer walls of the store are lined with the artful display of fruit while the floor space is full of wooden platforms upon which rest loads of fresh produce.
