Double Bay Market is what happens when the Eastern Suburbs decides the weekly grocery run deserves a little personality. Every Thursday, Guilfoyle Park fills with growers, bakers, makers, and the kind of no-rush crowd that treats an eight to two window like a loose suggestion. Think organic vegetables still carrying the morning chill, pastries with enough butter content to be categorised as structural engineering, and a smattering of gourmet artisans who take their craft very seriously. If your idea of a good Thursday involves coffee, community, and a food selection that would make any supermarket weep quietly into its fluorescent lighting, you are in the right park.

The BioHax Take
Double Bay Market feels like the Eastern Suburbs version of a weekly pilgrimage. You come for the certified organic vegetables, yes, but you stay for the pastries, the jazz drifting across the lawn, and the easy loop you fall into with stallholders who know your order by the second week. It is a market where sourdough loaves sell out before noon, flowers appear in armfuls that make the walk back to the car feel like a scene from a French film, and lunch options veer from doughnuts to dim sum to the kind of fish tacos people speak about in confident absolutes. It is slow living disguised as grocery shopping, and it hits every time.
