2. Donnelly's Fresh Fruit and Veg
Located at Wyalla Plaza, Newtown, Donnelly's has a solid 4.5-star rating on Google. Known for offering the absolute best value in town, Donnelly’s is popular for its always-fresh quality and seasonal "bucket buys," which provide even better deals (how about $1.49 per kg for tomatoes and $1.99 for a whole cauliflower??)
In addition to fruit and vegetables, they stock eggs, bread, and milk.
They typically offer same-day delivery if you order before 11am, though their online store was temporarily closed for maintenance at the time of writing.

In addition to fresh fruit and vegetables, Betros Bros has a wide range of grocery items, meat, and even live plants. Don’t forget to try the fresh boiled peanuts, a local favourite.

5. Cobb and Co Saturday Farmers Market


This popular, higher-end market runs every Saturday from 7am to 12pm across the road from Queens Park on the site of the Cobb and Co Museum. It features a few fresh produce stalls and a gourmet mushroom stall. A tip for shoppers: the longest queues often point to the best vendors.
The market also runs additional dates during the Carnival of Flowers and in the lead-up to Christmas.
Other stalls include seedlings, mead, leather goods, dog treats, handmade gifts, gin, and food and coffee vendors.
Stroll across the road afterwards to visit Queens Park's botanic gardens or playgrounds.
