About
The Happy Jar is a zero-waste bulk wholefoods store and in-house café on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville, just west of the Adelaide CBD. Customers bring their own reusable containers (or buy one of the store's jars) and fill up on grains, nuts, seeds, flours, tea, coffee, spices, herbs, superfoods and cereals, plus plastic-free household and personal-care lines.
The café serves plant-based dine-in and takeaway meals, with phone orders taken ahead of time. The store's focus is wholesome, locally-sourced plant foods and sustainability — it does not sell fresh meat, so the directory's grass-fed beef tag doesn't reflect the range.
