Harris Farm Markets Lane Cove

This is the best supermarket in the lower north shore, glad to have it be my local. Great selection of fruit and veges, specials are well priced. All concessions are great, The Cook and the Baker's sourdoughs and Salumi's leg ham really hits the spot.There are definitely navigation issues, especially when it gets busy during weekends with queues stuck in aisles (especially in the cheese, pasta/bread and checkout sections) with massive lines and no alternative routes to bypass trolleys/prams. Ideally shop outside of the weekend peaks if you can avoid it.A tip for new visitors is that you can bypass around half of the store (e.g. if you just wanted some bread and milk, or Messina). Turn right after the fruits and veges section, this will take you straight to the bread section (skipping Samlumi, cheese, Proper Butcher and Fish in the Family) and much closer to checkout. Perhaps better wayfinding will help (similar to IKEA shortcut signs).All the best and hope the concessions do well for a long time, allowing us shop here daily for the years to come!

Okay so my wife was rambling on about this place, but what a surprise. This place is amazing, so much product and produce, what a space. As you enter, you are welcome with a vibrant of colourful fruit and vegetables, passing dry fruits, nuts and chips. A great selection of fresh meat and seafood, even a sushi section and then an amazaing selection of cheese and crackers. You then get taken away from the smell of freshly baked bread and goodies, the pies are amazing the best pastry balanced with delicious filling. Then to finish off the journey, you pass Messina which have the best donuts, DONUTS! What a place, I have found my new go to.....

I love Harris Farm but was disappointed by this store. While it is huge it doesn’t really stock more variety than my local shop at Lindfield. What made me give the low rating was the sensory overload: pop music on left side of shop mixed with Jazz from the right side with added smell of detergents and fragrance sticks while waiting on checkout. Not a pleasant shopping experience.

This place has everything and more. In addition to all the stuff you would expect to find in a Harris Farm this has fresh juices & smoothies, fresh popcorn, fresh pour your own honey, sashimi & sushi, a great bakery, a donut stand and a Messina gelato stand. Probably not the best for daily shopping as it is a bit crowded but definitely worth a look. Best Harris Farm I’ve seen yet.

I believe this must be the flagship store as they not only have the excellent fruit and vegetable section but a thoughtfully laid out route that will allow vegans to bypass the meat/ cheese/ fish sections and go directly to the international shelved goods. Added to the mix are store within store of bakery, butcher, fishmonger, croissant/ donut stand and a Messina Gelato counter. It’s hard to believe there is a better one stop shop in Sydney.

This grocery store has a cool vibe to it. Entrance is full of gardening stuff and flower pots. As soon as you enter, the great vibrant of colours from fresh fruits and vegetables made the place very attractive. What I liked the most was little tasting stations along the way to try some the newly launched or special promotions at the moment. There are some cool spaces to check out: refill your own honey, milk, order fresh bread and ask to slice it your way through pulling the rope and a bell will ring. The laneways are quite narrow so just only fit 2 trolleys.

Wow, that Harris Farm sounds amazing! They have a great selection of international products and unique items that you can't find at your typical grocery store. The Mussina bar sounds delicious with gelato and specialty cakes. I love the idea of making your own cookies! It's great that they have a honey station, milk station, and coffee station that you can DIY and pour your own. You can literally find everything you want in the shop from fresh produce to fresh baked pastries and bakery bread baker in house daily and served fresh at your convenient.

Update 1st May, 2023: they sell product on the edge of expiry and product with mould. The $18 Frittata expired the next day (I should have looked but trust them to keep on top of it), our $4.50 raspberries grew mould the next day, and the organic bread always has mould on it in store. Please do better!Absolutely love this Harris Farm. Huge fruit and veg selection, very nice fresh fish and meat selection and the bakery and sweets are almost an attraction on their own. My only complaint is the store layout. It’s a maze disguised as a grocery store with very narrow passageways. When 1 person is standing to make a selection everyone behind them has to wait. Now do that 10-15 times as you shop, it becomes very annoying and if you’re with kids or pushing a pram it’s enough to make you want to not go. Please widen the aisles.

No more. Like most HFMs, quality is declining while prices increase. Still a tad above the oligopolistic duopoly of the other two, but only marginally. You all appear to have storage issues, which translates to poor quality F&V, and I won't even start on your 'specials'. Had to throw half a punnet in the trash when returned home yesterday. I'd take it into the lab to test but we're on Uni break now. Odds on it's Botrytis. Mold spores penetrate and spread quickly before being surface visible. Berries are notorious, but it's also a storage issue. Your strawbs are no better, and your carefully selected lighting to enhance the look of the fruit is wearing thin. Every season I end up tossing half of what I buy within two/three days, but when I go to the farms it lasts two/three weeks. For how I use them, frozen is it now.
