In the midst of a pandemic, isolation
has rendered many of us incapable
of accessing and enjoying many of
our favourite treats. Enter Co-lab
Pantry, the Melbourne-based online
platform linking you with your
favourite bars, eateries and
producers. Doing the legwork of
sourcing Melbourne’s best chef-
prepared staples, the online store
will help you up your kitchen game,
while supporting Melbourne
restaurants and businesses while
they are closed.
