Best quality fruit and vege. Yes it’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. Only talking about the fruit and vegetables, not the smoothie/salad cafe.
Despite the ongoing renovations at the Chase, Coles continues to draw the major crowds. Typical Coles, wide range of products, good quality, regular specials, big store. I think they need more staff as many lines were low stock on shelves however, this was the exception and not the norm.
Great supermarket. But received fantastic service on Xmas eve i lost a Xmas present phoned everywhere in Chatswood Chase that I had visited and the last place was Coles (i had given up hope)and would you believe they had my.lost gift and were happy to hold onto it till I could pick it up. Fabulous

A decent classic Wpoleorths. Although the parking can be an issue, as the carpark is a squeeze.
Wraps I bought are completely black with mould a week after I bought them. Expiry date is February 2024. Someone must’ve opened them before I bought them but this is disgusting.
Nice selection of kosher food. Glatt kosher meat under Orthodox supervision. This is a far better selection and more clearly marketed than in the Woolworths in Lane Cove. However the kosher availability is better in the Eastern Suburbs: e.g. Krinsky's. b'tei avon.
Lovely Deli Staff, so many fresh options to choose from during Christmas.
The Indian guy was very polite and helpful, no name tag so didn’t know the name.
Nice nice nice. So many options so many food availability, ample sitting place
Absolutely horrible!! Even when there are long queues, the assisted check-outs are not opened. They have staff standing around looking at people scanning their groceries but no one will come forward to open an assisted check-outs counter. The only one which is open, the cashier tries to pass on the bought bags for groceries to be packed by customers!!?? None of the staff seems to care about anything in this store
The short-haired white middle-aged woman staff next to the self-service cash register has a bad attitude. She stared at me fiercely every time. It's like I owe her money. I don't know her at all. I shopped completely normally. I buy as much as possible each time to reduce the number of visits. But it seemed like I was a thief in her eyes. I am unhappy every time I shop. She seemed to come over and curse at anyone at any moment. It seems that we walk wrong, check out wrong, speak wrong, stand wrong, nothing is right. Last time she also said that I was not allowed to use green plastic bags to carry children's snacks. She said that green plastic bags can only be used when buying fresh fruits and vegetables. But I just wanted to pack snacks for my daughter. My daughter is scared of her. I had to go to the manned checkout line to avoid her because of her bad attitude. I had to leave the near and far away to go to wollies. I don't know if she only does this to Asians. I will keep complaining. Until she left the coles in front of my house.
Guys at self-checkout are super slow, even when it’s not busy. What’s the point of turning my 10 minute shop to 20? Might as well just order online.

Super rude as well. I’m sure it’s not every staff member, but price was displayed as half, yet he wouldn’t change it for me when i go in person and show the tag?
St Ives Woolworths is not only my go-to local shop, but it has become a favorite for several reasons. The friendly staff, consistently fresh products, and convenient location make every shopping experience enjoyable. Recently, during a house move, I needed carton boxes for my kids' toys and books. The staff, particularly Eddy, went above and beyond in assisting me. Eddy's effort in sourcing perfectly sized, clean boxes not only met our needs but also aligns with our family's commitment to environmental consciousness, leaving both parents and kids delighted. Big thanks to the st ives Woolworths team.
The woolworths has heaps of offers. The staff is helpful, ample parking in westfirld mall. Sometimes it can be difficult to carry the grocery from shop to the car. The staff is helpful,the stock can be good as well. Offers generally are good and on most of the products.
Worst customer service at the registers by Ani. We go to the registers and give bags so they can pack the goods. She scanned items left my bags for me to do while having to deal with a child in the trolley. To the point she hurried me to pay while I was trying to pack all my groceries myself into the bags I gave to her. Then started to tap her fingers on the desk for me to hurry up and give my flybuys card. Rudest cash register I have ever encountered.
I really enjoy buying my lunch at the deli counter from time to time. The choice and variety is next to none, and the pricing could never be beaten. I have never had an abdominal complaint after eating my Woolworths lunch. Sometimes I overdo things and eat too much, but otherwise I would consider myself a satisfied customer. There are many other advantages to shopping at Woolworths in Parramatta for the store is located in a position near access to the street, that is not too far to walk before you can eat your lunch. The pricing of general products remains the same throughout all the stores during the same week, if you get my drift. Sincerely, Thomas Stevens.
What a disorganised rude dump. Also a bald large staff member scratching his balls in front of me, fruit n vege department, was so grossed out never going back after that. The young aussie woman asking if we are woolies members was great tho full of life and very upbeat and vibrant. Everyone else horrid.
Self checkout area is too small & under resourced during busy periods. Woolworths needs to improve their self checkout software which has their customers standing around waiting for the attendant to reset. Pathetic effort at a self checkout Woolworths !!!
I have been going to Parramatta Woolworths L5 for an extensive number of years now and what I will say is that the customer service at that particular store isn't up to a good professional standard. Perhaps you ought to teach your new staff members the proper way to pack a grocery bag. Have them take notice of the groceries they have on their conveyor belt and acknowledge your customer in a professional manner.
Worst customer service ever, please remove Jun from the front disk. Always make trouble when returning any item.
I had two experiences with him. He doesn't understand and always try to come up with an excuse not to accept the return. If there is a zero rating I will give it to him
I recently had an unfortunate experience at Coles Rhodes, and I feel compelled to share my feedback. My visit, marred by an encounter with a staff member named Denny, was disheartening, to say the least. Denny's demeanor was shockingly rude, and it left me questioning the level of professionalism upheld by Coles.

From the moment I approached him for assistance, it was evident that something was amiss. Denny's attitude seemed abrasive, and his tone was far from what one would expect in a customer-facing role. It almost felt as though he had brought personal conflicts from home into the workplace. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, especially in an environment where customer satisfaction is paramount.

The experience left me contemplating the hiring practices of Coles. Individuals like Denny, who display a lack of courtesy and respect towards customers, should not be representing the brand. It raises concerns about the screening and training processes in place.

In my opinion, Coles needs to invest more in comprehensive customer service training for its employees. Ensuring that every team member understands the significance of positive interactions with customers should be a non-negotiable priority. The store's reputation is undoubtedly impacted when customers encounter such blatant disregard for courtesy.

In an era where there are several supermarkets and retail options available, the importance of exceptional customer service cannot be overstated. If instances like this persist, customers like myself will undoubtedly consider exploring alternatives. Coles Rhodes needs to take immediate action to address such issues, not only for the sake of customer satisfaction but also for the overall reputation of the store in the community.

In conclusion, my recent experience at Coles Rhodes was nothing short of disappointing. It is my hope that this feedback prompts a thorough evaluation of customer service practices within the store and encourages a commitment to delivering the high standards one expects from a reputable supermarket chain. 🛒😔 #ColesRhodesReview #CustomerServiceConcerns
The Website should be updated regularly with the things they have in stock, because it happened to me severaltimes. I checked if some item is in stock on the website says yes and then I went to the store and they didn't have what I need it. So it's a waist of time. Do something about it. You already are saving a lot of money in staff so invest that money on the website.
The store is quite spacious. Items are clean and well-organized in the right places. The staff is very friendly, smiles brightly and tries to help as much as possible when you need help, I'm so happy to have a good coles near my house.
A coin for a trolley! You must be kidding me! Who carries cash these days! Australia is going to be a cashless country guys! If I wanted to be worried about a coin I would go to Aldi 😤
I went to woolworth Gordon around 5.30pm and there was a lady at EXPRESS checkout work as a cashier
She took our stuff and put it in someone’s grocery
Not even apologize to us but said “you guys confusing”
She’s not focus with her work ,so slow and keep talking with her coworker
Really bad customer service!
A express checkout supposed to serve customer quickly!
I recently visited Woolworths Rhoades, and unfortunately, I had a less than pleasant encounter with the manager, Sandya. I asked for assistance, and her response was quite rude, which left me feeling disappointed.
I love and champion Woolies but this Woolies is bad. Very small and not as much stock as my local. Today I asked for cash out at the service counter and the lady denied me and said I needed to purchase stuff. I told her I just came out of self service and I wanted small notes, I didn't want to get cash out of the machine. She made some lame excuse that we can't take out money so I said why is it that other Woolworths can give me money without buying stuff. In the end I got my money and she acted like the fool and said ohh the machine is letting us take out money without purchase...don't lie and don't make it out like I'm an angry customer to your colleague, this staff member is just incompetent. Your employees need training and be uniformed in your policy, don't give out misinformation.
Very rude and cross contamination of food.
Great coffee, small cosy place
Good range although it didn’t have what I wanted (despite the website/app indicating it did). Easy parking in the shopping centre. Long open hours.
Woolworths Gordon is well stocked, well managed, and has had the same key staff members for a long time which indicates a happy and well looked-after team. Whenever I have any problems they are always great at helping. Grocery shopping is a chore but this particular Woolworths is top notch.
Increasingly poor, unhelpful and unfriendly service. Often you have to find someone to serve you at the checkout and seafood counter. Better place to shop nearby.
They have nice range of plants, outside of store. Items are easy to find in the supermarket.
Fresh and tasty well-priced salads! 5 star!
Do not buy poultry from this Woolworth, I bought once grass fed mince when opened up it wasnt fresh at all and smells bed. Last night I got food poisoning from their beef mince. Beware!!!
Special thanks to Bhavesh from bakery department. Helping for all the vegan products that we need. Professional, efficient and helpful! Gordon Woolworths has a lot of friendly stuffs. Thank you for all your excellent work guys!
Giorgia was a wonderful help this morning when I discovered that a cleaning product had leaked through my entire shopping bag soaking through my groceries and clothing. She was kind and patient. The customer support at this Coles is incredible and Giorgia's kindness helped turn my stressful start to a Saturday around.
It's biltong at its best. There's always room for more 😆
Bought some produce on special. When I got home the food was out of date went back to the shop and was told by a staff member I should look for the date before buying
Woman working at self service at 10:30am 2nd of August was so blatantly rude, my card declined and she rolled her eyes and said “maybe only pay for what you can afford” im appalled by her behaviour especially as she looked like a senior staff member
Can get busy at times but always plenty of registers available. Stock levels always up.
Great selection of fresh foods available. Friendly helpful staff.
God awful store, the only saving grace is that most staff are nice. I visit often at later times and was surprised that a couple of the night fill staff were ignoring me. I wasn't sure if it was on purpose because I wasn't speaking too loud but a few of them did have earphones in and ignored me when I tapped them on the shoulder
Zero stars - late night shopper.
The shelf restockers throw their frozen goods around like back in the old country... Customer safety issue - for a moment I thought I was going to get hit with a full carton box of products in the head.
Cold service and atmosphere.
$3 for a medium sized trolley
I'll take my business elsewhere.
Very new and modern Woolies store. Super clean and organised. Great for a grocery shop as they have nearly everything you need. Easy parking at Rhodes central downstairs. 100% recommend to visit.
Awesome ... What you expect from ALDI.
Amazing coffee, very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere! What a great place!
Worst Woolies I’ve been to. Constantly out of fresh meat and fish. Clearly can’t order product. Can never get over 50% of my shopping list completed here. Also only one check out often open in peak times (except for self serve) with huge queues. Waiting 30mins in a queue is not ok. Sort this store out Woolies. Is by far the closest supermarket to my house otherwise would never return. Aldi opening soon though / can’t wait
Great for quick shopping during the week. Do not expect to find freshly baked bread first thing in the morning; it's getting on the shelves quite late. I also find the veggies a bit sad occasionally, so make sure you have a good check of your berries before you chuck them into your cart. While the staff is always happy to help, they are understaffed.
Not the biggest or freshest Woolworths, but unfortunately it is my closest for the basics. Very hard to shop here with empty shelves and large packing carts left in front of many of the aisles without any staff around. My biggest issue however, is that in my last 2 visits I have seen a very dishonest practice with the self checkout machines… for fresh produce I assume it recognizes the colour to give options, with the initial options often being the most expensive and likely less bought goods eg. I was buying bananas and every other fruit/vegetable including the more expensive lady finger bananas were on the initial menu, making me have to swipe a few more times to get to the cavendish bananas. How many customers are you trying to rip off with this sneakiness. I implore others in this area to avoid this shop.
Great little IGA supermarket, I love how they have ready made meals in the deli area. My favourite is the little coffee and breakfast/ lunch cafe. Great prices and food is fantastic! The coffee is devine by the way 😉. Staff have always been amazing too, so friendly and happy to serve you.
Very clean shop and prepared meals to take home are excellent fruit and vegetables top quality lovely staff and beautiful food and coffee from the cafe
Online direct to boot service is zero. Always missing items. At least every other week. Never pick up the phone. Manager just say sorry. Happened 3 times in 2 months.
Perfect IGA, within walking distance from our home. It is always well stocked with great specials. Friendly staff huge range of meals and lunch items. Worth a visit.
Busy store.
Usual specials & pricing.
We left without purchase, as lines were too long.
No self-checkout for single items.
-1 star
Handy store in Shopping Centre.
Mid-sized store (12 aisles)
Parking will probably take more time than the shopping 🛍
The rudest manager I've ever had the displeasure to interact/ be served by. The way she interacted with me was akin to speaking with a 5 year old. I was so appalled I returned, and then found she is the manager here. If you're having a bad day, that is an issue, but not my issue. Grow up and be better Molly. Zero stars was not an option.

Edit: a quick look at other reviews shows this lady has real issues! ALDI, and other staff at this location, this needs to be addressed!!!!!
the customer service was the quick and nice layout of the store was. The produce looks fresh and nice. I love how the aisle in the middle with kitchen utensils is so good value!!
Sooo much variety, fresh food, well set out. Little trinkets and gifts. Friendly staff
Liked the way they received the customers. The female worker who helped me out with the bouquet 💐 is so sweet.
I ordered a bouquet 💐 before I go to work and told her will pick up on my way back to home and she really helped me out with that.
Also the prices here are worth for flowers or bouquets and wrapped perfectly when compared to the other stores.
Not just flowers or bouquets but they also have lot of other stuff within the store.
This place is my daily go to place for coffee to catch up with friends before starting a day at work. Great coffee, great location and John does a great job doing what he does best - coffees and food. Totally recommended
Absolutely delicious lean biltong, only thing is it drys out quickly since its sliced so thin. Just will have to eat it faster
Located in level 5 Westfield Parramatta. Large store with all possible daily use consumer goods including fruits vegetables fish and meat. Prices reasonable. There are special offers on selective items on a regular basis. Notably good collection of tea and coffee materials. You will also find a number of household items relating to cleaning and hygiene. There are a number of self check out counters.
Ever since being initiated to biltong during my time in SA, I have been in the hunt for good biltong in Perth for some time. I can recommend this place as one of the best places in town for the tastiest biltong. Also the staff Erica is just so lovely and very kind.
Beautiful shop wonderful staff. Has everything you need and delicious gourmet food as well. Definitely my favourite local. 😍
Worst costumer service EVER!!!!

Today 221118 6pm the woman that is supposed to be the manager has so horrible actitud!! Aldi. You should really train your people to be educated and learn how to be professional at costumer service… or simply the basics… just to learn about how to treat people with the minimum respect.

I dont know if she feels she is in the army or what… but it feels so disappointing aldi. Just because you are cheap, that does not mean you are entitled to have personnel treating so bad your costumers!

Very disappointed costumer here.

Update(06/12/2022)

They close even before the time
The woman - apparent manager, is extremely rude, unprofessional and lacks common sense.

The store was extremely busy but she refuses to open a third checkout lane and sent a staff doing check out to the back causing extremely long queues.

At my own check out she was unable to scan a number of fresh produce. She proceeds to incorrectly type it in although pointed out. She then proceeds to throw the produce on the floor. I offered to get another item for the barcode, she rejects it saying, “there are customers waiting.”

Her attitude is not suitable for customer service, let alone a managerial role.
I ordered a soup and toast today. There are two pieces of toast on the other table. I only have one piece. The owner's attitude is not friendly. The coffee doesn't look good, but it really tastes bad.

But the environment of the store is good,

It was supposed to be a day to enjoy brunch!
A good local mini super market.
Great display
Friendly staff
However a bit over the top in some prices.
The specials are there so if you look you can find essential at a fair price.
Will use them however not for a major shop.
Brand new Woolworths in Rhodes Central. Underground carpark is free for first 3 hours. Layout is tidy with lots more choices compared to other woolies in the suburbs. They have a scan and go counter but it wasn't working as it should have when I tried. I made my payment of 5 items via the app, expecting to cruise through the scan and go lane. However, the system doesn't let me pass through and required the personnel to double check my items by scanning each one again using the handheld scanner. Scan and go is a really good alternative which saves time scanning items at the checkout counter. Perhaps further enhancement is required to make it perfect though. They have a sushi counter just on the right of the entrance which looks quite nice especially with the platter deal.
I was very sceptical when they said a metro was opening and was so small. But I will eat humble pie. Anything that I really need I can find there! yes bespoke needs are not there but the special bread for my daughter, the yoghurt I like etc I can find there.
4.3 - Even though I had switched over to do my regular shopping at this new Woolworths, it dropped one star for me today. An item was scanned at the wrong price, and the girl who assisted at the checkout didn't know what to do. (Staff I have encountered in the past would have quickly walked off to check and been back already!) so I had to suggest she could do a price check by either going to the aisle or finding another staff member to help her. Instead, she directed me to go and take photos to show her, mid-scanning my shopping! I think that is appalling and not in accordance with the experience I would expect to receive from Woolworths. It is still my favourite store but will keep an eye out for this.
Very small woolworths. Probably excellent for older people who don't want to walk long isles. Full of happy people who shop here regularly. Parking very full on Sat morning. Disabled parking spaces all full and there were not many of them near to main shopping centre doors. Selection of goods basic. Coles at Turramurra far superior! Coles has poor disabled parking arrangements.
Friendly and helpful staff. Nice biltong and boerewors.
Too good to be an afternoon office snack…. Now I am trying to get everyone hooked up on this.
Great store with most things you need, layout makes sense and staff are always welcoming and ready to help!
Small yet super convienent store. Eye pleasing arrangments and great staff. Would definitely recommend.
Got all the important stuff you need for a smaller store. Not bad. With big parking space , the store also have clean and nice vicinity as well as the affectionate staffs 💛💯
Great atmosphere to shop. Great quality and variety of produce to get with such ease and convenience.
A small store, and yet, you can find important and useful stuff to buy. It has also a good range of food. Take note of the friendly staff:)
Great shopping experience. Good layout and stock variety, nice and clean store with friendly, helpful staff.
Wonderful store great staff very clean tidy pleasure to shop the staff are so helpful
Nothings a problem Definitely will go shopping their
Located in the Rhodes Central building, it is extremely modern and large ! The interior was surprisingly neat and well organised and the whole place was well maintained. I didn’t explore the ins and outs of the woolworths due to covid restrictions but it was very easy to find what we needed to and we were thoroughly impressed by the amount of international products at this woolworths! Staff also seemed very friendly
Upside coffee literally only has upsides! The best alternative milk options, amazing syrups if you have a sweet tooth, and such good deli style lunch choices that you don't need to go anywhere else for the midday rush. This place is a gem disguised as a humble coffee store. Oh, and they remember everyone's name, feels like home 😍
Very tastey biltong and borewors, price is also reasonable.
Busy Coles within the Coles Chatswood Chase, around the corner from the ground level food court. It’s located next to Baker’s Delight. This Coles has a large range of fresh produce, dairy, bakery, frozen items and canned food items. It’s always quite crowded here, and not many staff around to help out.
I ordered a watermelon juice and I informed them I don’t want other mixed stuff in it. But I still got some leafs floating in the cup😂
Excellent coffee! Was served very hot but not at all burnt, very smooth with no lingering after-taste at all. Lactose-free milk available, and no surcharge for alternative milks a welcome surprise. Definitely recommend the $9 ham cheese croissant + coffee deal.
Will definitely be back!
Very tasty biltong! Staff are super friendly, and it’s always a pleasure coming in on my way home from work to pick up a snack.
This is my favourite green grocer in Sydney. Got a good selection of fruit + veggies, vegetarian + vegan food, cold meats (ham etc), cheese, international products (Italian, Greek, Japanese, Indian, Turkish and more), sauce, nuts, snacks and tea. I don’t think it’s more expensive than anywhere else in Sydney, but the quality is better. My partner and I will continue shopping here.
Quite an impressive range of items, with lots of their foods on the more gourmet and organic side of pricing. Some notable ranges were the selection of Manuka honeys, one up to $250 for a single jar. They also have a great range of fancy biscuits and lollies, including sweet little jars wrapped with twine and secured with checkered fabric under the lid - all sorts of sweets and biscuits that you can easily use as a gift. Greenwood Grocer also has a great range of refrigerated drinks, both in regard to healthier options and more sugary ones too. They stock all types of Jarritos (have never seen these in a store before? let alone for $2.99??!) iced coffee, Noah's Juices, a large range of kombucha, Sips, Famous Soda Co, Presha Fruit Juice, Impressed Fruit Juice, refrigerated ready-to-go Berocca, Dr Pepper and other cans of drink (of which are only $2 each!). The service at the counter is typically nothing memorable, and without conversation, but the job is done and your bag is packed.

They also stock a large range of well-known lollies, including Nerds, Reeses, Gobstoppers and Swedish Fish. They also have a range of vegan items, including lesser-seen vegan chocolate brands too.
Great little cafe - good coffee, tasty bagels, wraps, etc. and they do plated lunches also. Excellent value, can't beat a $9 coffee and breakfast/lunch item! My new go-to.
Love it! Well priced and a great selection. The staff are lovely too
The store is quite good and has a good variety of great quality products. Staff is friendly and helpful. A coin is needed to get a trolley, which is ok, the problem though is returning such trolleys in the car park... I’ve found one trolley bay allocated for Aldi, and it didn’t have anything there to attach the trolley to so I could get my coin back! That’s a bit petty!
As it’s a new store it is one of ALDI’s most modern using their latest layout like what is used at its newly renovated Macquarie Center store, store has plenty of space between aisles. It’s also stocking the entire range of products. Great this store is here now as it’s very close to my work.
Lrg Vanailla latte and chicken cheese avo bagel for $9. Both excellent and staff really friendly. My new coffee house!
Really impressed with this store. Family run and great service, a really great place to shop. Try the Cellarbrations next door too, great range of craft beers and the Growlers and Screamers are awesome.
nice new and quiet little shopping place, IGA have a cafe attached with some really good food available.
Probably the best IGA I have come across, certainly unique with its variety of food choices.
Leaves both Coles and Woolworths for dead
