7 star supermarket

Great option for groceries in Darlinghurst, and for an «organic» store I’ve found that the prices don’t seem to be that much higher (if any) from Cole’s down the street.
What I do like is that they’ve got an interesting mix of organic/​healthy snacks that you won’t find many places in Sydney (amazing plantain chips as an example). What I don’t like is that because it is a tiny grocery store you definitely can’t get everything you need by making a trip here.
I put off coming in here for awhile as I thought it would be crazy expensive, but now I’m finding any excuse to go in to support a local business vs Cole’s!

Wow, this little-​grocery-​store-​that-​could is so freakin’ cold. So cold that the grocery store assistant was wearing a fleece jacket when it was 25 degrees outside. They clearly really work them here. But other than that, there’s plenty here to help you forget the cold. Just don’t go toward the refrigerator section. Or the ice-​cream sandwiches. Stick to the fruits and veg section or the comfort food section or the warmer 1.25 drink aisle. If it’s too hot outside come here so you can remind yourself just how much you love summer. And do like everyone else and grab a paper and a drink or ice-​cream on the way out.

I hadn’t eaten lunch and I was sure that a beer in the evening was a strong possibility, and given that time was fleeting as I waited to prepare for a meeting that night, I had to get something quick.
I walked into the 7 Star Supermarket and looked around the aisles. It’s a classier kind of shop, not a corner store with cheap foods and bland packaging, salty delights made from inexpensive meats sold at high prices because «You’re paying for convenience».
This corner store/​supermarket was stocked with organic foods and fancy bottled drinks, yes, priced at a price which was deemed highly pricey, but at least you were paying for quality.
I bought a green juice, Spirulina infused, and a carton of amazing sesame blocks. Honey coated, insanely delicious and dangerously addictive. I managed to ration them out for a couple of days, if only to feel like I got my moneys worth.
I shudder to think of the price, it was quite expensive, a snack and a drink for about $ 10. But that’s because I’m cheap and there are plenty out there who would see this as a reasonable exchange, especially when the product is of such high quality.

I find it’s always a real pleasure to come shopping here — it’s peaceful, inspiring and clean. Escape the hustle and bustle of your typical supermarket and come here instead; an oasis of calm. 7 Stars is small but well stocked, with everything you need for a typical grocery shop. The fruit and vegies are fresh and good quality, without bruises and battered bits. They offer a huge variety of products — all skewed towards healthy eating and wholesomeness. Just by the counters they have a bakery section that is brimming with freshly baked crusty breads and pastries and which takes all my determination to walk past. The same determination is needed a lot as I walk around the aisles of this shop — so many fantastic products. You pay for the quality, of course, but in my view it’s worth it.

Gone are the days of the local convenience store where the fresh produce was at least ten days old and ten times as expensive as the supermarket. 7 star supermarket is really a gourmet convenience store with a carefully picked collection of stock. Wander in and you’ll find the shelves lined with Maggie Beer, Toby’s Estate, King Island Dairy, Mother Meg’s etc. The fruit and veg comes straight from the local growers market. Organic and gluten free produce is also available.
