Erewhon makes the list thanks to its sustainability efforts, qualifications as a certified organic retailer, and freshly baked bagels and beyond delicious smoothies – we’re looking at Hayley Bieber’s Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie. But the exorbitant prices on items means it doesn’t make the top spot. We can’t quite justify $30 on a smoothie, no matter how many skin and health benefits it has. The modern fit out and chic branding make it nice to window shop though.

Is it fancy? Yes. Is it a little pricey? Most definitely. Do we love it regardless? Absolutely. Entering a Marks & Spencers food hall in the UK is an experience in and of itself. It’s like being a kid in a candy store. Everything looks and smells delicious and we want to try it all. Its bakery serves up fresh-out-of-the-oven loaves and pastries and its sandwich platters have earned cult status. Its very own line of packaged goods also lives up to the hype. Percy Pigs and the M&S crisps are beloved by locals.

We love that Waitrose has both ready to eat meals and groceries all in the one spot. So if you’ve worked up an appetite while shopping you can treat yourself to a little freshly-made snack. Oh, and did we mention it has its own wine range that includes chianti from Tuscany, pinot grigio from Italy and Champagne from, well you guessed it, Champagne, France.

Kind on the pocket and also an adventure in itself. The shelves are often packed with brands we’ve never heard of that originate in countries across Europe. Lidl’s price point is on par with Aldi’s, but the fun is in shopping the dupe food products and deciding if it lives up to the original branded product.

If you were to only bring home one thing from the States, it has to be Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend. Yes, it’s technically a bagel topping, but this blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic and onion and sea salt flakes can be used on much more. Sprinkle it on baked potatoes, flavour your roast chicken with it or pop it on top of your salad, it’s so versatile. And while this special seasoning does a lot of the heavy lifting to get Trader Joe’s in the top spot, the entire range of Trader Joe’s packaged goods is decently priced and delicious from its Crunchy Chilli Onion to its Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.
