I love this shop, the blokes that run it are nice, and they look after you. They also let you take your dog inside, as long as it's not mental. Beer selection is good, and the ciggies are decently priced. Also sells a surprisingly large selection of highly sugared American soft drinks, which are great for the morning after you drink all the lovely beer they sell. They do a range of very cheap microwave vegetarian curries, which are bloody tasty if you can't be arsed to cook.

This store has just been taken over and finally we have an awesome corner store. The stock is in date, the store is clean and the owners are super friendly. There is so much new stock and the owners are super excited about getting even more. The fruit and veg is fresh and actually edible now. So happy to support these guys

  • Mayank Dhingra

Love the store!!! New Management= Friendly Staff. Love the Coffee Machine for just $2. Love the Variety in Stock. Love the way the management has redone the store and made it more consumer friendly. I will really recommend coming here and getting your daily goods.

  • Helen Grundy

Check what they’re ringing up on the till as it NEVER matches the price on the shelf. They’ll change it as soon as you call them out but that’s not meant to be how it goes! Wouldn’t recommend unless your desperate, there’s an Aldi a minute up the road.

  • Alice Aldora

Bought some nearly expired milk and bread that were on sale, still far more expensive than normal price on famously expensive convenience store. It was branded milk and bread, not local at all. Absolutely overpriced, never again.

  • R C

Milk on shelf was past its use by date. Staff member not concerned. From previous experience it is a shop of last resort as it is overpriced. Would only go there occasionally for my convenience. I’ll be avoiding in the future.

  • Harjot Kaur

I had a great experience, friendly staff. Later found out store is under new management. I ll have to say they have turned the store around hot coffee fresh fruit and vegetables and everything else is pretty neat.

  • T X

Life saver for late night grocery runs, has a great assortment of international goods too. The alcohol section has a good range at affordable prices. Also has delivery available through Uber eats which is great!

  • S Willoughby

  • Joe Gamboge

Owner Jim, PJ & the rest of staff have always been very friendly. Prices are reasonable for most items, especially alcohol, and they have an immaculate and exemplary level of cleanliness.

  • M W

  • Belinda Knight

Was so in need of an Icy pole today as I was doing a labouring job and the weather has finally started to get Hot again. But pricey but had my favourite ones and the last box too.

  • Isaac Walker

Price gouging at time of a crisis. You should be ashamed. $35 for a 20 pack of toilet paper.. $17 for a 15 pack that was originally $6.99 Disgusting. Never coming here again.

  • Paul O'Donoghue

Rude staff who prefer to use their phone than provide basic customer service, multiple incorrectly priced items on shelves, and out of date meat and dairy products.

  • S A

The new manager is so friendly however always check expiry date, the bread was expired on 19th of jul and he put new expiry dates on bread which is shameful,

  • JayJayJyeBoy

Sold me *2* different types of cheese that were both two months expired and moulding. Will be going back tomorrow to return them and get a refund.

  • Louise D

Extremely unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Sold me a faulty product and wouldn’t let me swap it two days later. Also extremely over priced

Fantastic and friendly management. Things can be a bit pricey here but they are open untill 11pm. Which is a lifesaver sometimes
