 sourced grocer opened 3wks ago...i visited today after hearing along the grapevine from several friends about it.  i will say upfront...I LOVE IT!  i love the concept, the products/lines/produce that they are selling & i think their pricing is really good (considering we are in teneriffe after all)...my friend claudia from 'the jammery' has her jams instore which i am excited about & i love their menu choices, the porridge, the pastries, the bread...the fifth battery house blend coffee.  i spoke to jerome, owner + along with owner louis, about the business & he said they have a strong emphasis on organics, local unique products, quality lines, direct from the growers etc...so much so the boys returned whilst i was there from local growers in inala.  they are the first in qld to be selling gundowring icecream from victoria...+ they sell the original john herne bangalow pork...& kaz eumundi smoke hse products.  they sell & use in the cafe leavain bread & get pastries from choquette.  open mon-fri 7-8pm, sat-sun 7-5pm.  i bought leavain italian pane, fresh from the mkts...kale, bangalow cheese co. washed rind, kumato cherry toms, congo purple potatoes & barambah natural yoghurt.  loads of snaps for you to see...couldn't help myself!
oh & when i got home with my bought bits/bobs i made lunch & below is the delicious result!

Coincidence Dayle... I went there this morning too and had a heavenly breakfast with the sun shining on my back. I took a few snaps...but these is definitely miles ahead of my shots... which i've not downloaded yet.

Great place... will definitely be back... what's not to love with this little beauty?!

Hi Dayle

Your blog looks great. We were the Designers of Sourced Grocer. It was a wonderful job albeit on a very tight budget.

It's great to see it has been such a success and used in ways even we imagined weren't possible. It is a very rewarding experience.
