Woolworths

Convenience store on steroids. Parking available via rear entrance.

This is a so-called “Metro” store, which means that it’s smaller than a regular Woolies supermarket, with a more limited choice of products. But I can always find what I need here, and they have an extensive range of fresh or frozen ready-to-eat meals. My favourite are the sandwiches. They have tuna, beef, chicken, egg etc; something for everyone and it’s great to just grab one on your way out, before heading home, so that you don’t have to make one yourself. It saves time and effort, and they’re always fresh and tasty. The staff are helpful, friendly and polite and will go out of their way to assist you if you require it. Obviously, as it’s a small supermarket, they don’t have the same staff numbers as a larger store, so sometimes, one needs to be a little bit patient. The aisles are wide and without the big crowds, I always find it manageable, and easy to get around quickly and find what I want. Best thing I like here though is the little coffee shop.There are a few seats, and a bar-type counter against the back wall, where you can enjoy your hot drink and snack, while watching the car wash bodgies doing their thing at the next-door BP garage and car wash. I’ve noticed some complaints about parking and yes, the car park behind the store is a tad small, but there’s a rapid turnover of patrons, so I generally manage to find a spot most times. And even if you can’t find one here, there are two car parks nearby on the corner of Dover Rd and Ian Street, on opp. sides of the road. The larger one, behind the Chemist Warehouse and IGA Supermarket, can also be accessed from Wilberforce Av. They both offer two hours free parking. Granted, they can also be congested (welcome to Sydney!) but if all else fails, there’s street parking in nearby Norwich Street (although I hate the rear-to-kerb arrangement there) or one of the other streets around here, like Newcastle St, Albermarle Av or Wilberforce Av. Overall, a convenient and friendly place to shop, and I’m a regular at least once or twice a week. It would improve the overall shopping experience though if they sold alcohol, had a customer toilet on site and more seating at the little coffee shop.

Woolworths rose bay has the best stock and staff are very helpful. Feddie makes the most perfect coffee!! Definitely keep him in the cafe! :)

Very convenient, but, as you would expect, limited stock.

Small shop with mostly common items. Fruits and veggies are way more expensive than my usual Woolworths stores. Parking available from the back street.

Beautiful little store, everything is neat and tidy. Great selection of products, great prices and great service from the staff.

I buy my coffee there every morning and, believe it or not, it's better than all of the cafes! Specific shout-out to Joanna who made my day today with making a special order for us. store is never packed, staff are friendly, great selection. keep up the good work

Friendly service. Reasonable prices with some specials. Good parking at rear.

Boutique outlet of woolies. Small inventory but a nice store and in store cafe

Very limited in stock. So hard to find parking, only to find out I needed to go to Bondi shops. They do coffee there too. Not bad.
