IGA Supermarkets

I love that this supermarket is opened 24 hours. Great for when you’re having a craving for a midnight snack. And the quality and variety of food is great too.

Usually a grocery store will only offer quality OR convenience but IGA Leederville definitely has both.
My local IGA is open Sunday mornings from 8am but the quality of their fresh produce is nowhere near the standard of the Leederville store not to mention the range of products available. It’s definitely worth the extra five minute journey.
They have a great selection in the deli department including hot meals (roast meats & veg) as well as baked goods and fresh flowers.
Prices are a little higher than chain supermarkets but the convenience of it being open 24 hours and the quality of the fruit and veg, I’m happy pay a little more.

Even though they are 24hrs they still have all the IGA weekly specials, clean and tidy shop and the staff were chatty, I was in there to get a drink and nibbles before going over the road to a movie at the Luna Theatre. Lunch bar looked great. Not what it looks like or I expected on first looks. A fan.

I said if they have American bacon it would get 5 stars. Well folks, look at the stars.
PLUS finally a place that’s 24hours! How did I not know about this?!
And they have delicious looking pre made foods and bakery goods.
Plus they have American bacon. Now to get home and cook it, I hope it’s good enough to warrant the stars and I don’t have to revoke this review.

This recently refurbished IGA is exactly what every neighbourhood needs… conveniently located, open ALL the time, and the service is hard to fault.
The supermarket may not have all of the items you’ll need for a major shopping trip, and it could be slightly more expensive but it is certainly geared towards the local demographic and it serves us very well. You’ll find lots of ready-​made meals, huge gourmet selection of mushrooms and even a handy barista to satisfy your late, late night caffeine craving.
The store is stylish, clean and welcoming. Possibly the finest IGA around.

This IGA is in a convenient location for me as it is on the way home from work so if I haven’t already planned ahead its the easiest place to stop. HOWEVER, I would not go here if I had more time to plan my meals as i’ve had a few bad experiences here.
The roast chickens are never good here, I’ve bought chicken from here 3 times and they have always been so slimy and taste not fresh which is probably to do with them being 24 hour and maybe not changing the chickens as much as they should so they are not fresh. I also bought a watermelon here the other day and when I got home I immediately cut it up only to taste it and it had the foulest vinegar smell and taste which means it is off and could potentially cause food poisoning depending on how old it was. My room mate also bought some pre-​packaged feta from here, only to open it as soon as she got home and it was all green and moldy on one half of it.
Do they not know how to keep food fresh? The food here is also WAY more expensive than other supermarkets and even other IGAs, which again is probably due to it being 24 hour.
After my last experience with the watermelon I highly doubt I will be giving this place another chance!

During my two months of weekend outings this IGA is in a key location (because my friend’s house is near it). I always duck in at 2am for some snacks but in the daylight they replenish their hot food corner with roasts, pies, sandwiches, kransky sausages and other miscellaneous hot foods. Due to being on bikes my friends and i will always buy hand kransky sausages and/​or pies because they’re tasty, yet easy to handle.
I approve of this IGA only.

So obviously IGAs are mostly the same, but um open 24 hours, need I say more?
We’ve all been there you’re at a friends house post bar crawl, it’s 2am and you’ve all decided you must have a specific cocktail made from rare ingredients and gosh darn you don’t have one of the ingredients and then you all look at each other sadly and then someone puts Daryl Braithwaite on and then night heads down hill.
Fear not! Now you can just pop in a cab to Leederville IGA and get the ingredient and go home and save your after party!
The range of products at this IGA is limited, and definitely more catering for parties (nibbles, fruit and such) as opposed to toiletries and cleaning goods. I like the fruit and veg section, some great fruits displays. I don’t know of any other full range supermarkets in Perth that are 24 hours, do you?

Well stocked supermarket, especially compared with the one in Glendalough. Just went today for the second time and they were having a special event (re-​opening or something? I’m not sure) with lots (and I mean lots!) of free sample of food, free coffee and competition to win $ 50 vouchers. They haven’t yet called so I guess I didn’t win… That said I really enjoyed trying all the different foods: cheeses, pizza, chicken, biscuits, cakes, gluten-​free products, breads.
Their deli section must have been improved since Jenny’s review because there was everything from cheeses to cold meats. I like the layout and there are lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Ah I wish this IGA was closer, i’d go shopping there more often!

Hard to spot this store from the road. Parking is free for the first hour but you still need to display a ticket. Lots of gourmet and international foods here, which is nice.
Recommend you check the use by dates on some of the lesser known items as they may have been on the shelves for some time.

IGA, a short-​walk down the Leederville strip, is about two to three times the size of the Mt. Lawley location. However, the deli counter was really embarrassing. Only ham? I can think of several groups that wouldn’t satisfy. It did appear that construction was under way. Hopefully, it is to open up this space and add turkey and chicken to their options.
The produce section, again, was inadequate. Not to say that I was lacking any particular want, but I without a bounty of goods selling out quickly or needing to restock often isn’t far-​fetched.
Their aisles seemed well-​stocked including Hellman’s Mayonnaise (in both lite and regular). I can’t explain to you what gold this is to a Southern Girl, but I almost cried! At last non-​tangy mayo! And, they seemed to have several items that I’ve never noticed at other grocers. Looks like I’ll put this on my list of random items I need and stock-​up once a month.
