LaManna & Sons - South Yarra

I recently visited La Manna & Sons. South Yarra while in the area, drawn by its reputation for fresh produce and artisanal grocery offerings. What began as a routine stop soon became a standout experience that reminded me why independent, family‑run grocers continue to resonate with discerning shoppers. Founded on a legacy of quality that spans generations, La Manna & Sons combines an impressive range of fresh fruit, vegetables, deli items and specialty products with a warm, community‑centric atmosphere. Upon entering the store, I was immediately struck by both the breadth of quality products and the friendliness of the staff. Their willingness to engage; answering questions, sharing recommendations, and helping me locate items with genuine enthusiasm; elevated a simple grocery run into something truly enjoyable. This level of service reflects the brand’s commitment to old‑fashioned hospitality and thoughtful curation, a refreshing contrast to the impersonal experience often felt in larger supermarket chains. The variety of produce and specialty goods available far surpassed my expectations, with vibrant displays that showcased freshness and care. Walking through the aisles, it was evident that each product was selected not just for its quality, but to enrich the daily cooking and entertaining experiences of the community. Overall, my visit to La Manna & Sons was more than a grocery shop; it was a reminder of the value of personalized service, expertly chosen products, and the unique character that independent retailers bring to Melbourne’s culinary landscape.

I love this place！ great build your own sandwich , nice coffee, also planty of choice of their groceries. Always fresh with high quality.

Solid spot for deli sandwiches. Love that you can pick your own bread and fillings – everything tasted fresh and the staff were friendly and helpful. I grabbed a chicken big tender/nugget on the side and it was unfortunately pretty dry, but the sandwich itself was really good. Would definitely come back for another custom sanga.

Today went to La Manna and sons south yarra very nice store plenty of produce and eggs to choose from.

I bought some ham from here, and you can also make your own sandwiches just the way you like them. The staff are friendly, and the ham I ordered was freshly sliced from chilled stock – super juicy and incredibly tasty!

Love the variety of products which I can’t usually get from other groceries! Especially for the deli selections!!!

If they think you don’t have money, Watch them treat you like a second class citizen. When an older lady cashier misheard me, She literally said goodbye three times! I proceeded to purchase several items - Do you think she offered an apology? Do better guys….

I had previously written a review about hygiene concerns here, but it seems to have been removed. Unfortunately, when I visited the South Yarra branch again today, the same issue happened. One of the staff members was sweeping the floor and then handled the panini bread with the same hand. I politely asked them to change their glove, and only then did they do so. I believe the hygiene standards at this branch need to be reviewed, and I will be reporting this to the food safety authority for inspection.
