Great local, fresh food, but they run out quick so go early. Also, only buy the necessities because Woolys & Coles has basic stuff waaaaay cheaper. Love their fresh salads, but not allergy friendly.

They do amazing coffee and sensational selection to eat. From fresh made sandwiches to amazing patisseries. I believe DNA Espresso is a seperate business within the same store, so I’ll have to leave them a review after this.

Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.
Loads of parking available also

Drove past this grocery shop many times. It is always busy with groups of customers sitting at the al fresco area enjoying their coffee. That build up the level of my curiosity so I could not wait to stop my car to explore when I found it was not so busy this morning at 6:30am. Directly approached the DNA espresso with take away window next to the main entrance of the grocery shop. It took only couple of minutes to have my small flat white ready. I loved the smooth content with characteristic depth of flavor from Toby Estate. It was very nice to enjoy the coffee in such nice relaxing vibe. Not a bad start of the day. Cheers!

Regularly stop by the Garage for lunch as I work nearby. Love their wraps and baguettes! A bargain at $5 for a half wrap when I'm looking for a light lunch. Best get there before 11:30 at the latest to get the best selection. Anything with roast beef is divine, but the Reuben's are my favourite.
Can highly recommend their Catering as well - our office is nearby and Jaquel always looks after us with amazingly generous platters.

We really like Hawthorne Garage. Coffee's great, friendly staff and there's quite a few different sandwich's which are very nice toasted. My wife loves the wraps. The food always taste's super fresh and delicious. It can be a little on the expensive side but as long as the quality remains high I'm happy. Good for a quick stop for the odd grocery item as well. My only gripe is with some (not all) dog owners who are happy to let their dog bark flat out or chew a noisy toy and bother all the other patrons.

Perfectly located and always a great place to stop off and grab a quick bite to eat, coffee or a few groceries. A little on the expensive side, however most people are more than happy to pay a premium for the quality of food and groceries available.

Can be super busy during the "peak" times - but other times it's fine.

Upmarket place but average cafe and food
Friendly staff but the counter barista appeared like an overworked robot
Long black - too much water and too hot, tasted of leftover coffee ground
Caesar panini - the bread was nicely crusty, this sandwich was more flavoursome and mouthful than I expected

Wonderful little gourmet grocery store and family-friendly cafe. There is a wide range of gluten-free and dairy-free offerings, as well as a wonderful deli selection. The coffee is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

This is my local. Really good coffee which I get two-three times a week, amazing deli food from fresh made sandwiches, quiches, meats, fruits, juices, cakes,dessert, gluten free options and the list goes on. This place is packed constantly and though some things may be a bit expensive for some there's something here for everyone. I usually grab a cold pressed coffee or a juice and a fresh chicken wrap.

First and foremost, the selection of produce and food is so wonderful! The salads in the display cabinet are delicious as are the cakes from Jocelyn's Provisions (however, be prepared to fork out $5-5.50 for a single cupcake...) We love the little gingerbread men they give you with a coffee. The only downside is that it is quite expensive and at peak times, the car park is a bit of a pain.

Love this deli styled outlet offering coffee, cakes & gourmet sandwiches along with market style groceries. Great place to load up on picnic foods before heading down to one of the many parks. The cafe is also dog friendly and gets very busy. The sandwiches are delicious. One of my favourites

I have heard many things about Hawthorne Garage but have never checked it out. The Garage features a fresh fruit grocer, delicatessant, a coffee window and so much more. . Hawthorne Garage has a cute little coffee window for the perfect grab and go coffee. My coffee was a pretty good temperature and tasted very nice. The wait wasn’t very long either but I can imagine on the weekends it would be teaming with people. I love the fact that they are open until 8pm for all the coffee addicts.

Great deli/cafe/ripe fruit & vege,. Best staff ever - friendly.helpful, never have to wait at the register.
Ripe fruit and vege! Great price for the quality. Ripe mangoes $2.99 and ripe avocadoes same - always available!
Sandwiches and frozen pizza great, as are all the delicatessen products and opportunities to taste test.

However, cakes are too heavy and the salads and pasta dishes are bland, and don't take advantage of the wonderful vegies available. Very white. That is a drag. They should try Om...salads in Oxford Street.

Evening meals for eat there or takeaway in cafe syle, are fantastic and cheap but you have to get there fast. A few more greens would be good.

Minor changes would be great but it is brilliant. They have created a neighbourhood.

My favorite regular spot. My husband finds it amusing that our credit card bill has several transactions at the Hawthorne Garage every week, which goes to show how much i love this place!
The staff are friendly and helpful and can always provide a great recommendation for something nice for lunch. I can pretty safely say I've tried everything in the cabinet and enjoy Fridays when they have Vietnamese rice paper rolls as well.
Lunch from the deli is always well prices, much cheaper than similar delis or larger chains like coffee club which is a pleasant surprise in the Hawthorne/Bulimba area.
On a busy day it can be a bit of a pain to wait for your wrap or foccacia to be heated up and to go up to the counter to pick up your coffee, then your food which might disrupt the flow of conversation with your friends or meeting with your colleague, but even so i find the relaxed atmosphere dispels any frustrations with this.
On busy days when Ive come to eat with a group of mums we have picked up some takeaway and headed to the park nearby where there was more room to spread out and play, just another way to enjoy this great cafe!

This is my local and I love it! It puts a smile on my face to go there in the morning, ever morning. Week days are usually running to get extra milk or that little special treat for lunch boxes. Weekends are for cruising, enjoy the coffee, pick a bunch of flowers, newspaper and these extra fresh ingredients for tasty cooking. The Delhi is also fantastic and I love the quirky finds...did I say thank you?

Fresh and Trendy; it's exactly what you would expect in this location. It's a fresh fruit shop that also sells coffees, delicious cakes and deli products. It also has a great range of fresh boutique breads, sourdough, etc. Clean, fresh and modern

Coffee is good. To Diana,

Give it another go. I am not a coffee drinker, but those I know who are, travel to drink the coffee at the garage and also my husband loves it.

Diana. Called in here for a quick flat white & it seems they only do take away cups but you can drink it there if you wish.My flat white came with a large head & was pretty tasteless & not really hot when I ordered it hot. I did however enjoy looking around the adjoining supermarket & fresh produce areas. They have flowers, bread & lots of other goodies & plenty of free parking at the back of the shop. Please improve the coffee & I will be back really need to be able to tell there is coffee in the cup & not just milk!!

I’ve been here for coffee before, but today we checked out their store. A good variety of fruit, vegetables, cheeses, deli salads, condiments & even a florist. Staff we interacted with were friendly. Prices were a bit more than other similar/gourmet places we go to though.

Simply the best! The deli options for breakfast, lunch, snack, to go with a coffee or pick up some dinner is amazing. Fresh fruit and veg, specialty items, the meat section is exceptional, so many of the best foodie items for your pantry. The drinks selection (mixers and others) for your gin, vodka or non alcoholic beverage is best in area, so many choices (better than bottle shop or Woolies). But what we love the most is all the above awesomeness is backed by the beautiful staff that work there, they are so welcoming, helpful and hard working, there are a lot of people working hard at Hawthorne Garage to make your visit beyond a normal stop in at the shops. Plus opening hours are 6am-8pm, the hot dinners rotate and are super delicious. Could go on and on but you get the point, this place is superb.

Hawthorne garage was consistent with previous visits. As always, Great coffee. Don't really use the shop inside but everything looks fresh & fancy, in line with local resident expectations I suppose.

Upscale local supermarket. It's a nice place, but as a consumer, it's hard to justify the higher prices. We usually go there to get specialty items that can't be found at Coles or Woolies.
