come share our passion for food
jones the grocer is a hub of great food, knowledge and really delicious products. I always find it hard to leave Theo Randall, former head chef & Michelin star winner at The River Cafe
3 we build food emporiums Show kitchens, communal dining and integrated retail engage every sense; we call it culinary theatre.
4 great design is central to our ethos Community malls, office buildings, hotels and transport hubs; our store design is evolving so foodies everywhere can gather to share our passion for food.
5 our concepts are flexible An airport terminal counter for Jones the Grocer Express or luxury 5* star hotel for Jones Social - our concepts and product offering are flexible to physical space and market environment.
6 gourmet food for everyday living We live, breathe, love food, but we re not stuck up about it. We bring you the best. It s as simple as that.
7 food theatre Open kitchens, bakeries and coffee bars. Chefs, bakers and baristas busy at work. A culinary theatre at the heart of every store.
8 we put the ooh in foodie We love food and for us, great food is about getting the basics right. So be it pink salt from the Murray River or lamb reared on Australian salt-bush we want to know the streams, dales, mountains and valleys that make our food exceptional.
9 what s up brew? We are addicted to coffee. We pioneered flat whites in Sydney as far back as 1996. Brewing the perfect cup using the latest methods is not just an obsession, it s part of our heritage.
10 we put the art into artisan We celebrate the people who make our products. When we talk about our Cashel Blue cheese from the farm of Jane and Louis Grubb in County Tipperary, Ireland or our Tartuflanghe truffle honey from Piedmont, Italy we can guarantee they taste incredible.
11 we get better with age Cheese is our first love. And we re pretty sure that our walk-in cheese room was one of the first, way back then in 1996. Where else would you find over 80 lovely artisan cheeses, all the goodies to pair them with and a cheese club to join?
12 shop, eat, learn Learn to brew the perfect cappuccino with an expert barista; discover the secret of grilling the perfect salmon or attend a celebrity chef masterclass and book signing. We love sharing our passion for food. It s wired into our DNA.
13 our story begins in 1996 with smashing breakfast...... and a gourmet grocery, Sydney s first ever walk-in cheese room and a cafe serving world cuisine with an Aussie twist. We ve come a long way on our gastronomic journey but our focus has always remained the same To share our passion for food with you.
