Coles

This Coles is huge! and very close to my house. The aisles are very wide which facilitates two shopping carts passing each other. They are also well marked which helps since I often go here with a large list of various things to buy. My favorite aspect is the larger sizes. I don’t need Costco quantities of items but I do appreciate being able to buy a 5kg bag of flour or a 8kg bag of rice when necessary. If only they had that option for beef jerky.

This is one of the better Coles around the area. It’s less crowded these days because of the competition on the lower end from Aldi and the top end from Harris Farm.
I like the layout of the shop and I usually dash in for quick grocery shopping — the lines at Aldi is simply not worth the time unless if you buy in bulk.
What more can you say about a supermarket? It’s well stocked. Well designed. And the floors are so squeaky clean that you can probably do a rollerblade tournament inside.

This store is like the flagship of Coles for Sydney. The staff are very helpful and friendly The range is better than the World Square or Bondi Junction store. I love the new Kitchen area that serves up lots of fresh salads. Also the fresh fish counter beats travelling to the Sydney Fish markets. This store makes grocery shopping more enjoyable by the minute.

Fresh produce and the shelves are always stocked. This Coles can become very busy and can be hard to move at leisure down the isles.
The trolleys have a great guide to the isles. First that I have seen!

This is definitely one of the better Coles in Sydney. It is huge and the fresh food/​produce section is awesome. I guess Coles have aimed higher with this store and it kind of resembles one of those crazy American supermarkets like Wholefoods or Canada’s Loblaws. There is a salad bar that everyone raves about, an actual bakery, butcher and fishmonger. The deli is the largest I’ve seen in a Coles and stocks all kinds of goodies. I guess part of this is that Coles Broadway does have some good high end competition in the form of Peter’s Meats and Harris Farms in the same complex. The poorer citizen I suppose can shop just around the corner at Bi Lo.
Like the produce section, the rest of the store is well stocked and with pretty good selection. The attraction of 3 hours free parking also draws shoppers from afar if their local Coles isn’t up to scratch.
The only gripe I have with this place is the lack of actual checkouts — there are plenty of self serve machines but if a supermarket is this large, there is a good chance people will be buying trolley fulls which is not the point of self serve machines.

The salad bar was awesome, and the service was ok. I come here from time to time for salad and bits and pieces.

Unlike most Coles out there, this Coles is huge or maybe I haven’t been to many Coles around Sydney yet. Located inside Broadway Shopping Centre just outside the Sydney CBD, it serves as one of the main supermarkets in the inner city area or so I believe. It’s so much bigger than the one in World Square and Pyrmont which I also usually go to. I might take a guess and say Broadway Coles is about two times bigger than World Square Coles.
The amount of things that are sold here is so mind boggling, I guess I take it for granted as I usually shop here and it has nearly everything you would need from a supermarket. Actually now that I think about it, everything I usually get can be bought from every other Coles. There are times when I need some ingredients for some cooking experiments which I just can’t get from smaller Coles.
My family and I usually go to this Coles to get the bulk of our supplies as we can drive here. Some of the reasons for me to go here is because there is parking, it’s located in a shopping centre and it’s got everything I need or might not need.
This Coles is definitely a place to go to for families, students, workers or whoever needs food and household products.

This Coles is awesome and it knows it. Well not just itself, everyone knows this Coles is one of the best in Sydney. Everyone shops here, the students, the rich, the poor, the time unconstrained. As they have such an insane amount of demand, Coles did a massive revamp of the place a few years ago and turned it into a gourmet market place. There’s now a fishmonger, fresh bakery, cheese aisle, sausage factory and best part of all they installed a salad bar!
Now my main rave is this salad bar. For $ 14.99 a kilo, you can make your own salad!!! They load fresh ingredients into this bar every day, leaves, tomatoes, corn, HUGE flakes of parmesan cheese, crunchy huge croutons, olives, sundried tomatoes, the list goes on. They also then have their own premade salads which you can add into your salad. So yes, kind of like a complex financial structure, a salad in a salad which makes a salad. I really recommend the lentil and tabbouleh, and the potato salad (turning your salad into a fattening meal).
Once you make your salad. There are plenty of ways you can make your salad meal more memorable:
–Add a chicken (you can ask the very friendly people behind the chicken counter to cut you a fresh piece of breast for only $ 3.25)
–Make a fruit salad, the salad bar also has a fresh fruit salad bar as well. Same price, this coles doesnt price discriminate on your sweet tooth or savoury tooth preferences
–Add chips… I don’t know why potato chips taste good with everything.
You can spend hours in this coles and forget what you ever actually came in for. But I really do recommend you try this salad bar the croutons and the parmesan cheese are just worth dying for!!!
