Artisan Foodie Market to Expand in Sydney

What’s better than a pop-up food festival? A pop-up food festival that’s open seven days a week!

A new food precinct in Rosebery, Sydney, is set to have all the energy of a marketplace with the benefit of permanent artisan businesses. Housed in a 4500sq m revived warehouse, Saporium will welcome more than 12 food providores, including a baker, coffee roaster and dessert bar, along with three new restaurants and a cooking school.

Opening in three stages, the market will sit alongside fellow The Cannery resident Black Star Pastry.

Already open for business, stage one tenants include Grain Organic Bakery – specialising in artisan sourdough and seeded bread – and dessert restaurant, The Choc Pot. Stage two tenants will include an artisan butcher selling naturally reared, grass-fed and organic local meats, and a wholefood supermarket.

The final stage, due to launch in September, will include Welcome Dose Speciality Coffee Roasters, where artisan coffee will be roasted, sold and served onsite.

The Choc Pot co-owner Deej said her partner Ash (pictured above) gave up studying medicine to pursue his culinary dreams at The Cannery.

“The kitchen is now Ash’s playground, where he makes it all by hand, from the soufflés and waffles to the marshmallows and honeycomb pieces,” she says.

“Saporium has been designed and crafted as a new style of urban food marketplace for Rosebery and Green Square, home to one of Australia’s fastest growing and most progressive inner city communities,” project director Peter Mystriotis said.
