My Favourite Shop of All Time

That's a big claim but it really is the only shop that makes me dizzy with delight! It's name? Kakulas Bros and you can find it in Northbridge, on William St just over the Horseshoe Bridge. I was suprised and very pleased that no-one asked me to stop taking photographs, you can see their low prices in some pics. They are closed on Sundays and only accept cash...the sign says, "Yes Really!" lol

Here's why....


The floor is large and original wooden planks and these are at times quite uneven as you move around the place. There are also boxes and boxes of dried fruits, cooking chocolate etc, a large range of fresh cheeses and gourmet style cold meats/cuts and lots of sweet treats too!


Joe can't believe his eyes lol Here's some more seeds...


 various rices with bottles of olive oil in the background...some of the oils are locally produced...


 spices and herbs galore, even dried nettles this visit...


many varieties of dried beans and lentils...


large cans of olive oil...




look at these colourful spices, so fresh and fragrant...



cassava and other flours...there are sacks of loose flours too, including the Indian grams and chick pea flours...


the olive bar...


sacks of whole nuts still in their shells...


imported jams and other treats...


coffee corner, roasted beans that they will grind for you, Joe grinds ours at home...


colourful boxes of pasta...


jars of pickled vegetables, red capsicum especially...


What do you think of this 'paradise'? Hope you like it as much as we do. The floor is large and original wooden planks and these are at times quite uneven as you move around the place. There are also boxes and boxes of dried fruits, cooking chocolate etc, a large range of fresh cheeses and gourmet style cold meats/cuts and lots of sweet treats too!

Enjoy your weekend,
love from Sue

  2. You've just made me quite jealous! What a lovely shop that is. There's just nothing like that around here. I'd be tempted to open such a store if I had the start up funds!
