The shoes I purchased are smart and comfortable. Kumfs have a great range of shoes for all ages - from boots to sandals, flat to medium heels. They are constructed to support the foot and I haven't developed blisters or aching feet since wearing my beautiful sandals. They also have a rewards plan.

The seafood is fresh and well presented, the cakes are unique and delicious and the coffee is great. This cafe is the best in Wynnum with a great view across Moreton Bay. On my last visit I had barramundi, chips and salad, a cake and coffee.

This shop produces wonderful cheescakes, cakes and pastries. One of the advantages when you have a small family is that they sell half a cake. For special occasions and for a weekend treat, this is the way to go.

The staff here are very friendly and I always find what I want to purchase. It has been a lucky Lotto shop, as I seldom fail to win prizes when I enter Saturday night Lotto here - all quickpicks. There are also good syndicates available.

When I purchased my new LCD TV I endeavoured to link my computer to the TV. I received incorrect advice from several outlets until I visited the Tandy store. A young man offered me efficient and effective service and went out of his way to advise me how to accomplish the task. I commended him to his Manager, who advised they had an awards program to encourage good service from the staff. Well done Tandy.

The Shingle Inn at Garden City is one of the better Shingle Inn franchises. The cakes are unique, especially the lemon meringue pie. The coffee is great, the sandwiches fresh and delicious and the meat pastie has great "home style" pastry. Although not the cheapest dining in Garden City, I recommend trying the Shingle Inn as a special treat. The cakes are like my mother used to cook and there is nowhere else in Australia like this store. The name "Shingle Inn' is iconic.

I purchased a Tiramisu birthday cake for my partner and it was a great hit with all my guests at his birthday dinner. The delicious coffee flavour was exquisite. They also make a great chocolate mud cake. I often call in for coffee and cake or one of their meat pies. A great place to take a break.

I purchase their delicious scones on a regular basis and receive a stamp on my loyalty card if I buy 6 or more. This shop then deducts $5 on purchase after 5 in total. They frequently add a free loaf of good quality bread for no charge. They have a great range of tasty quality products.
