la manna direct supermarket, essendon fields
/OK, Mamma isn't going to beat around the bushel here. This is the best supermarket we have ever been too. This is how supermarkets should be. Just. Like. La Manna. It is a massive space that has the best of everything - fruit and veg, cakes, meats, grocery, ice cream, deli PLUS a cafe. The size doesn't mean it's not a local business either - it is family owned with a clear passion for good quality food which shows in every aisle and in the smiles of the staff and customers.
1953, Founder, Pasquale (Pat) LaManna, opened his first fruit shop in West Preston and from that humble starting point grew the vision of what La Manna has now become. Australia’s largest 100% Australian grown fruit & vegetable market incorporating meat, deli, seafood, bakery, patisserie and groceries.
It’s scroll season too at LaManna folks. This Mamma (i.e. the official scroll connoisseur) loves to taste test ALL of the new flavours - and wow, she is seriously impressed! Choose from your classic cinnamon, Biscoff, or Mamma’s surprising favourite, Pistachio Papi - or see what other specials they have on the day! Treat yo-self Mamma, these scrolls are worth it!
You could spend the whole day here just browsing, eating, browsing some more and stopping to eat again.
They have their OWN patisserie that make custom cakes too - seriously amazing - click here for more
