01 Our story

Seven years on Port Road

Maxwell's is the little green corner of Aldinga where the neighbourhood comes to eat well and stay a while.

Tucked into the greenery of the Temperance precinct, we're an organic grocer and café rolled into one — the kind of place where the coffee is poured with care, the produce is picked from local growers, and there's always a friendly face behind the counter. Regulars come for a flat white and a brekky roll; they stay for the conversation.

Everything we serve starts with real ingredients: organic beans roasted nearby, seasonal fruit and veg from the market, and food made fresh each morning. No shortcuts, no fuss — just honest food for the Fleurieu.

03 The grocer

Real food, close to home

Beyond the coffee machine, Maxwell's is a proper organic grocer. We stock the good stuff you actually want in your kitchen — crisp organic produce, wholefood staples, local cheeses and beans roasted just up the road.

We shop the way you would: seasonally, locally, and with an eye for quality. Our best-sellers are as humble as they come — the organic celery and bananas that regulars can't leave without.
