THIS SATURDAY

Brickfields is back baby...

And we need your help… eating it.

We’re putting on a Brickfields Bakery tasting from 9am because apparently we need to research which baked goods we should stock.

Tough job, but someone has to do it.

On the tasting table

🍑 Fruit & Creamy Custard Danish it's flaky, creamy, gone in approximately 4 seconds.

🥥 Coco Chanel , not quite croissant, not quite brioche, completely fabulous. Crunchy hazelnuts + coconut praline glaze. Fancy pants.

🍯 Sinner’s Schmear, its a brioche with a cinnamon swirl, salted vanilla glaze & honey. We’re not saying it’s sinful… but the name does.

🌶️ Cheddar, Chilli & Olive Scones, my personal favourite. Cheesy, savoury, olive-y with just the right amount of chilli heat.

Tasting from 9am until… well, until it mysteriously disappears. (in my belly)

Plus the epic Brickfields bagels + naturally fermented sourdough will be available, in limited supply

No cheese and charcuterie board is complete without On The Side Peach & Muscatel Chutney.

Made with fresh, vibrant peaches and plump sun ripened muscatel grapes from Mildura, this lightly spiced chutney is slow cooked to develop incredible depth of flavour.

It’s sweet, rich and the perfect match for aged cheddar, compte, gruyere, terrines and wild game cured meats.

BRING A LITTLE MORE LIFE INTO YOUR HOME THIS SPRING.

Spring is the perfect excuse to bring some greenery indoors.

We have a rotating selection of indoor plants to brighten your home, your workspace and, hopefully, your day.

And there’s more to houseplants than just looking good. They help create a calmer, more inviting space. Sometimes a little bit of green is exactly what you need.

Our plants are expertly curated by Dan from Habitat Plant House in Port Kembla, so you know you’re getting plants that have been thoughtfully selected and cared for.

We love working with other local Wollongong and Illawarra businesses, and even more when we can bring their good work into our shop.

Pop in, have a look and find a little piece of spring for your home.

Expect a deep, savoury umami flavour, subtle traditional curing spices and rich, meaty goodness.

100% beef. No pork. No pork fat. Just seriously good Wagyu salami.

Perfect for your next grazing board or eaten straight from the fridge.

OUR NEW OBSESSION

Meet Death by Fermentation, and yes, the name is kind of a warning.

This is the pinnacle of the heat range, but what makes it special isn’t simply how hot it is. It’s double fermented with koji, creating an incredible depth of flavour underneath the serious chilli heat.

A wild combination of fruity habanero, bright Thai red chilli, roasted Australian carrots, garlic and koji fermentation. The result? Serious heat, but with complexity, savoury umami and that addictive fermented tang.

We need a bigger bottle

This is delicious, bloody delicious.

WHAT MAKES A BAGEL, A BAGEL?

It’s not just a round piece of bread with a hole in the middle.

A proper bagel is boiled before it’s baked. That little extra step gives it the signature chewy, slightly crisp exterior and dense, satisfying crumb that makes a bagel a bagel.

And then there’s Brickfields Bakery.

Their bagels are everything we want in a great bagel, beautifully chewy, full of flavour and made with the kind of craftsmanship you can really taste.

PURE TASMANIAN HONEY
🐝JUST AS THE BEES MADE IT.

Meet Wellington Apiary, a Tasmanian honey producer founded in 2009 by Antonia and Robin O’Brien in a garden in the heart of Hobart.

What started with a few backyard hives has grown to hives across Tasmania with one simple philosophy, let the honey reflect the incredible flora of Tasmania.

Their honey is:

RAW
COARSE FILTERED
UNHEATED
UNTREATED
ORGANICALLY PRODUCED

Wellington Apiary honey is never heated during extraction or bottling. Instead, it is cold extracted and coarsely filtered, helping retain the natural pollen, aromas and flavours of the honey. And you can taste it.

This is pure raw Tasmanian honey, full of the character of the landscape it comes from.

La Dame is a beautiful semi-matured goat’s milk cheese with plenty of character.

When young, La Dame has a rustic, flaky and open texture with a delicately ye**ty rind.

As it matures, it softens beautifully, both in flavour and texture, revealing a deeper savoury, nutty richness beneath its earthy aroma.

Think flaky, soft, savoury & nutty.

It’s a seriously lovely addition to a cheese board or super cheeky shaved over crisp gnocchi or roasted pumpkin.
