Love Your Barista: Bank Arcade baristas ready to serve Most people would find serving about 800 coffees a day daunting ‒ but for Smith The Grocer baristas Mike Nguyen and Isabella ‘Izzy’ Young, it’s just another day of the week.

Today’s cute catering order. All warmed and smelling yummy!
😋

Getting ready for our catering order tomorrow. Yummy little fruit tartlets!

We think Erin, our baker, has done a beautiful job with our Sweet Treat cabinet today. What do you think?

Isn’t the savoury food in our cabinet looking scrumptious today!

Yesterday we farewelled Jack from our team as he is heading home to Scotland to marry lovely Katie. His humour, energy and delightful accent will be greatly missed!

Fancy a pie?

Thursday's pie is Steak and Potato 😋

We are replacing one of our ovens so this one is no longer needed.

We use it for baking and the temperature can be a bit unreliable so it’s not great for baking. Would still be good for general cooking though.

$100 includes spare thermostat.

Needs to be picked up this week!

Seasons Greetings everyone !

We hope you enjoy your Christmas celebrations with family and friends.

We look forward to seeing you again soon - below are our opening hours over the holiday period.
