Manna Wholefoods

Part of South Fremantle since 1988, this is equal parts wholefoods grocer and cafe, occupying a corner of South Terrace that generations of locals treat as a pantry. The shop carries the raw, gluten-free and vegan staples that are hard to source elsewhere in Perth; the cafe turns the same ethos into food, with a case of house-baked goods, salads and take-home meals leaning heavily plant-based, from vegan mac-and-cheese to chia puddings and daily specials. Packaging is deliberately low-waste, in keeping with a business that predates the current sustainability vocabulary. It is not a strictly vegetarian room, but its plant-based range is genuine and long-established rather than bolted on. Come for a considered breakfast or a grab-and-go lunch, then browse the shelves. Few Fremantle institutions have held their character as steadily across four decades.
