About
The Clean Food Store is a zero-waste wholefood grocer and café on Nicholson Road in Subiaco, Perth. Founded in 2016 by Rob Frost — who left a mining engineering job after being inspired by a zero-waste store in Berlin — it pairs a bulk-food shop with a busy café focused on organic, natural and sustainable food.
The bulk range runs to around 160 self-serve products, some 30 herbs and spices and 20 liquids, covering nuts, pasta, nut butters, tofu, kimchi, almond milk, rye and more, with customers encouraged to bring their own containers. Produce is sourced from biodynamic growers in WA where possible, and elsewhere in Australia when not. The café serves great coffee, creative cakes, cold-press juice, smoothies and house-made gluten-free meals.
