The Fresh Nut Centre lives up to its name. Crystal roasts the nuts every day. And bakes some of the delicious cakes and biscuits. I hope she never leaves.

If you want old fashioned service you won’t get it at the supermarkets where meat is plastic wrapped and dated and no one to speak to. That’s why I was delighted to discover Hylands meats at Extra Fresh in Bentleigh. No sawdust on the floor but plenty of good service and advice.
