Montys Of Montville

Montys Of Montville is a specialty shopping stop on Main Street in Montville, focused on Queensland-made and Queensland-owned food products. The venue describes itself as a one-stop shop, with 98% of its range locally made. Its shelves cover a broad selection of pantry and gourmet lines, including jams, chutneys, relishes, oils, dukkah, dessert sauces, butters, preserves, syrups, vinegars, dressings and liqueured fruits. It also stocks products from producers including Candy Addictions, Country Harvest, Crows Nest Softdrinks & Syrups, New England Larder and Pomodoras on Obi.

Alongside the retail range, Montys has an on-site sweet offering. It makes handmade gelato, ice-cream and sorbet, with flavours rotated weekly, so the selection can change between visits. These are served with the venue’s own gluten-free and dairy-free cones, made on site. Montys also prepares gluten-free and dairy-free doughnuts using its own recipe; the doughnuts are baked rather than fried. Together, these options give the shop a point of difference beyond browsing shelves of locally made pantry goods.

For drinks, the menu board offers 43 milkshake flavours, as well as thickshakes. Milkshakes can be made with full-cream or low-fat milk supplied by local dairy producer Maleny Dairies, or with soy, rice, almond or lactose-free milk. The website does not provide further detail about the shop’s interior or seating, so the most useful way to think of Montys is as a place to browse regional food products, pick up something sweet, or choose a made-to-order drink while exploring Montville.

It suits visitors looking for Queensland-made gifts and provisions, as well as families and anyone wanting a dessert or shake during a Main Street outing. The range also gives shoppers with gluten- or dairy-free requirements several specifically identified options, although individual dietary needs should be confirmed with the venue. Montys Of Montville is located at Shop 8, 171–183 Main Street, Montville, and can be contacted directly for enquiries.
