Great but pricey grocery store. I find it’s best to only go here for special items, that you can’t get elsewhere, otherwise you could easily spend a lot of money. Love that they have brioche buns for home-​made burgers (although they’re $ 2.50 each), plus other great options in the baked goods and sweets section — good for when entertaining or giving someone a small gift.
When the small Woolworths was around the corner I’d regularly come here to get things that weren’t at the Woolworths, but once it re-​opens as a proper Woolworths, I would expect that won’t be necessary and will likely cannibalise many of the current shoppers.

If this were an independent grocer, I’d give it 4 maybe 5 stars…
Great selection of fruit veg and deli items.
But it’s owned by Woolies.
I have a no supermarket policy when it comes to buying fruit and veg and do often buy from here. But i can’t help but wonder — is this the same fruit and veg that is sold at Woolies at a higher price?
Good yogurt selection (important for desk snacking at work) and they have a really nice selection of fresh cut flowers.
Their customer service is also great.
I tend to stick to the things on special (and their specials are great value) and it’s a convenient stop off for quality food items on my way to and from work so will continue to be a regular for me.

Can I just say ditto to everything Lee B. said? That might be cheating, but it’s true. I literally love everything about Thomas Dux! However it is a very dangerous place because it IS expensive and you could spend far too much money in there… Anyone who misses Whole Foods or Sprouts should definitely give Thomas Dux a try.
Oh and try the sweet potato noodle salad from the deli counter. Yuuummmmmy.

A very nice quiet little market.

The only thing about this place for me is that it is owned by Woolies. Whilst it has good quality products and produce from local suppliers I am not sure the suppliers are getting fair value for their products from Woolies. I am all for supporting local small business and will pay extra to support local business and whilst this place feels like one I know its not.

On the surface, it looks like a great store, but if you dig a little deeper, you will find it is part of the Woolworths empire.
Coles and Woolworths have a duopoly in Australia, and crush all competition. Small stores cannot compete.
The concept of Thomas Dux is great. The fact that our purchases at Thomas Dux enrich a massive corporation that already has exessive market, is the reason why I cannot support it in any way nor recommend it.
For more info, refer to YouTube, seach on «Woolies Coles Friendly Giants» and view the video by Hungry Beast.

Simone Logue pies and some of the best chorizo I’ve ever had in my life– Saskia Beer.

This place has great food… produce and selection. Easy to spend too much here though. Occasionally they have tastings throughout the store, which is a onus.

I say best grocery store in Sydney! A million times better than Woolies or Coles. Fresh fruit and veg, a nice selection of organics, great selection of exotics like special baking flours, eco friendly cleaning supplies and a fully stocked deli.
As an American living in Sydney, I have searched high and low for anything that even remotely resembles Mollie Stones or Whole Foods, and this is about as close as you can get on the north shore and lower north. I could shop at 10 different places to save a few bucks or just shop at one good, high end store. Yes, it’s expensive but my time and my family’s tummies are worth it. Biggest competition to Thomas Dux still appears to be Fratelli Fresh, but we don’t have one on the Lower North Shore.

This is a great place to get some great fresh food — the fruit and veg section is fresh, and no unreasonably priced (compared to the Woolies around the corner). But what sets this place above is the range of freshly made food products (fresh pastas, bread, pastries, sauces) available both from the deli and the refrigerated sections.
Service is quite good, on the couple of occasions I have been there I have not had to wait for either deli or cashier service, and given one of those days was Christmas Eve I’d say they have done quite well.

Being from Perth I’d not been into a Thomas Dux until I arrived in Sydney. I was delighted when I first visited — what a treat to have so many wholesome, rustic, organic, specialty goods and fresh produce all in one store. The Crows Nest store is all about the range, the quality and the happy till staff.
I love that I never have to wait long to be served, that I can always pick up a bunch of fresh (looking) flowers for under $ 10 and that they create a farmers market style feel outside with specials on berries or some other fresh food.
Ooo… and the tastings spread all across the shop — from banana bread to tangerines to chocolate. Ooo again — free hot coffee and paper bags instead of plastic. Too many ooo’s I know, but one more — Ooo freshly prepared, unprocessed lunch and dinners in the salad bar and fridge section. Ooo — and gluten free deserts that are too good to resist. I must stop dribbling on my keyboard now.
Needless to say, I’m a fan.

Sigh. Thomas Dux. Once you’ve experience Thomas Dux it is hard to not want to go back. Thomas Dux is a place that oozes passion for food and it is hard not be inspired by the produce available here.
The usual suspects are stocked here –Maggie Beer, Simmone Logue, Simon Johnson — but so are the not so usual (and the not so expensive). Brands like Piccolo pasta sauce ($ 4.99) and Antipodes artisan water ($ 5) are fantastic finds.
The produce is fresh and locally sourced. Each Saturday Thomas Dux host ‘Dux Markets’ where you can meet the growers and suppliers.
A weekly shop here will double your grocery bill but it is an excellent place to pick up some staples or something special to add to your pantry.
