Maxi Foods

This is an excellent place for high quality consumables. Think a curated version of Woolies and Coles. I was going to give it 4 stars but changed my mind to give them 5 stars. Why? 2 reasons. The main one being that the web site is so poor that it doesn't really reflect how good the store is and the second reason is that I have yet to sample even remotely more than 10% of what is available.

The tall guy with the dark ‘bob-cut’ and 5 o’clock shadow in the Liquor Store, needs to learn that giving customers dirty, disapproving looks is actually rude and completely disrespectful. ( 1:35pm - March 15th - 2023 )He was obviously not brought up properly, or has a complete lack of self awareness. Learn to say hello, learn to warmly greet customers like an old fashioned bottle shop, don’t look me up and down with your entitled “Gen Z” Scowl, due to me dressed as a tradie after an actual hard days work. You have a lot to learn from Walter, a true gent!The young hipster has dismissed me before when I politely asked if I can come into the grocery store at 7:55pm to buy one item, just to witness his arrogant, dismissive shake of the head and hearing “Nup”. Seriously? “Nup”? Who raised you? Conceited, pretentious, entitled, hipster.

I always support local business but the last couple of months the quality of the fruit and vegetables is going backwards. I had nectarines rotting from the inside and strawberries fading after 2 days in my fridge. Prices are quite a bit higher than mainstream chains. Started to shop there, is a shame but I had too much fruit and vegetables of low quality.

We love maxi foods, has more real brand food items that Safeway and Coles combined, has an enormous health food section great delicatessen and what they done have in fresh meat the butcher opposite does. The isles are plenty wide for you move your trolley through unlike Safeway and Cole’s, Easy access for wheelchairs and never packed that you need to fight your way through the crowds

An excellent independent supermarket situated in Upper Ferntree Gully right in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. Their seafood department is highly rated.

It's way bigger than I thought it might be! I'm an American visiting, and I wanted to get some familiar ingredients to bake for my friends. This place has some American vegan brands, like Tofutti, and a big range of vegan products helpful for baking generally. The building itself is definitely dated, but it's clean and I like the vintage neon - if you hold off on renovating long enough, things will come back into fashion! The prices were definitely a bit more expensive, but not too much more on average. I think it balances out with the amount of non-typical items they have on offer. Definitely recommended.

although some soft cheese was on the shelf 4 days past use by date, and some ultra stale breads on sale, it's a nice big shop akin to Leo's with great selection of products just keep an eye on the expiry dates.

We've always popped into Maxis over the year, but we really learned the value of this store during LockDown, Maxis became our supermarket where we bought all of our groceries. I must admit I was and am still impressed by the wide range of goods available, with many high quality locally sourced products.As such, after Lockdown, Maxis is still where I do my weekly shop. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the quality of the produce is excellent and none of those terrible 'self service' checkouts.If you are after vegan or organic produce or making something special, you'll also find it here. I can buy things at Maxis that I once had to drive into the Prahran Market for.Keep up the great work, I am happy to give Maxis and the staff a 5/5 stars.

It's like safeway but in a warehouse style, but there is so much food, howeverprice increases are making it hard to enjoy shopping like we used to.
