DJ's Wholesale Fruit Market & Foodie Bliss Cafe

Beautiful coffee, friendly staff, always somewhere we stop when in town. Must try the pancetta and egg panini, a favourite of mine :)

For Armidale, DJs has a good collection of products that are difficult to find (for example mustard seed oil if you are keen on making your own genuine style Indian pickles). But it is pretty small and pricey. Not many other places in the locality though.

Having read the rave reviews I went to this place for lunch on a recent road trip. However, every food option contained meat which was no good for a vegetarian. Admittedly we arrived late, about 2:30pm, and the staff member stated all the vegetarian options were gone - fair enough. But they were unable/unwilling to suggest or offer anything-else, or unable to direct us to anywhere else we might find some lunch. A disappointing experience.

This is an excellent spot to enjoy a cup of coffee with quick and friendly service. The staff is always courteous. They offer a fantastic selection of unique deli items and also sell fresh local fruits and vegetables. You can find delicious fresh sandwiches, rolls, and salads here as well.

After reading reviews, I decided to try this restaurant for breakfast. The coffee was great, but there was no kitchen open to cook breakfast dishes. The sandwiches were still good, although not made to order, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Overall, I found it disappointing that there was no hot breakfast option. However, the grocery items looked impressive.
