Forestway Fresh The Tasting Deck: Terrey Hills Cafe + Food Emporium

How handy is this?  Here’s Forestway Fresh, a huge fresh food store, with a cafe on site which has its own playground right beside the seating area.

Forestway Fresh is a family-run food business, long-established and much appreciated by Belrose and Terrey Hills locals.

Coffee! With a view over the playground

The Polistina family has been running the shop for 35 years. It is now expanded and I think this is a venue well worth travelling to; you can shop, have a meal and let the kids play, all in one location.

I might mention that we live and my kids go to school nearby, so I’ve been driving up Forest Way to where Mona Vale meets i and popping in for my fresh food shopping for years.

There’s a cute wishing well in the playground Here’s the outdoor seating area, and some mums from my kids school, we were having a cuppa here after drop off one day How pretty is this breakfast dish; coconut sago with caramelised ginger and pineapple Love the luscious lips seat

The shop itself is laid out very beautifully. This is a very high-end grocer, with marvelous displays of fruit and veg, excellent cheeses and deli goods.

It’s so handy to be able to get in some fruit and veggies, or even a whole shop, along wth the coffee, food and natters.
