IGA Adelaide City East — Local services in Adelaide

City East IGA is a fantastic little supermarket in an excellent location near the corner of Angas and Hutt Streets in the city. It has a good range of quality products throughout and is one of the best kept secrets in the city.

The store has a good range of fruit and veg and meat, including very good specials at times. It has an excellent cheese bar at the front of the store, stocked with locally produced gourmet, artisan fine cheeses. Fresh bread is delivered every day, including fabulous artisan breads at good prices - you can get them made into sandwiches in the deli, and request your own filling. The grocery section has everything you need - despite the small size of the store, they pack in a good range including continental products you won't find anywhere else. The dairy/freezer section has everything you would expect in a standard store plus a decent ready meals section including gluten free and vegan options (and fabulous markdowns in the food to go fridge).

The best part of the store, though, is the service deli. It has the best range of locally produced salads I have seen yet, all sold by weight - perfect if you are working to a budget. They will even do half-half of two or more salads and average the price if you want to try two different varieties for lunch. Behind the salad bar is a pie warmer, where you can purchase many varieties of Vili's pies plus the best kept secret - fantastic cheese and bacon rolls with a lot of cheese and bacon inside. City East also sells handmade wraps or rolls- they pack a lot into them at the best price I've seen in Adelaide and will make them to your diet or favourite filling on request.

The sliced meats are splendidly presented and always of the best quality as are the olives and antipasto selection. Make sure to try the sundried tomato - fabulous! Then there are delicious savoury options, including arancini balls and vegan patties -and they will heat them up for you on request. At the end of the counter is the cakes section. Locally made, they come in all different varieties, including old-school favourites like muffins (they will heat them up for you if you want the perfect treat for a winter's day); chocolate eclairs, kitchener buns etc.

They also make good tea, coffee or hot chocolate at affordable prices.

And all this is delivered with good old-fashioned service. At checkout you are served quickly and professionally, ensuring you make the most of your lunch break or shopping trip. Plus, they will carry your bags to your car if needed. Another bonus is that the store is open very good hours - from 7-10 every day of the year bar Christmas day (they are still open Christmas morning).

Overall, City East IGA is a fantastic store, delivering a great shopping experience you will want to return for...

So the first thing ypu need to know is that there are 2 IGA's on Hurt Street, they are not cr esated equally. This one is small but stocked with wide range of good quality products at a reasonably fair price given the need to keep open later and stock the range they do. I'm a local but if you are Airbnbing it and you missed the opportunity to get to the Adelaide Central Markets, the deli section here should serve you well for pre made continental treats if you are needing to have a night off of eating out. They are open till 10 most nights from memory which is later than many other supermarkets. All this said, the new large supermarket on the corner of the mall and Pulteney street (Romeo's) is much larger and is able to cater for a greater...

I've shopped here for 20 years. This morning I returned some milk purchased from the store yesterday. It was off. After asking me if it had been taken straight home and put in the fridge (answer yes), the owner replaced it. The replacement milk (same expiry date due in 3 days time) was also off. I returned it and the only replacement milk with a different expiry date was organic and $1.50 more expensive. After reluctantly setting aside the difference, he said to me 'if this one is off then don't bring it to me, take it to the manufacturer'. I replied 'you are responsible for the stock you sell, if your stock is no good then you must replace it with stock that is sound'. He replied 'take your milk and don't come...
