Hands down, the best almond croissant I have ever had. None of that artificial, slightly bitter tang that often hits with less authentic almond-flavoured croissants, this was the real deal. Melts into your mouth with a warm, buttery sweetness that is evenly balanced. Not too sweet. If you go, this is a beautiful dessert to follow up some of their savoury pastries. Their chocolate milk is also delicious, cute and with what I think is a bit of malt as well mixed in, again not too sweet, which I think is one of the best parts, it's not over-anything, it's all very well-proportioned. It's not too far to get to, the walk is definitely worth it, and the space itself, while small, is stocked to the brim and the staff are lovely.

Great service overall and an amazing space. Lots of natural light, so this small cafe actually seems really big, because it's bright and very pleasant to spend a morning in. We were attended to immediately, and the waitstaff were very friendly.

The food was pretty good, perhaps it was the hype surrounding but it wasn't as amazing as I expected. The ricotta pancakes were nevertheless excellent, fluffy, and I enjoyed the honeycomb butter and maple syrup that accompanied it. The all-encompassing breakfast was fairly standard, the scrambled eggs for which Bills is famous for were just... scrambled eggs. Despite this, it was a good breakfast, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here.

Johnny's Pizza was pretty nice, but I felt it was a little on the heavy side in terms of sauce. However, the people who served were lovely, and it took about fifteen minutes for my pizza. They were a bit on the expensive side, but they do market themselves more as "gourmet" pizzas, so that's somewhat understandable. Not my first choice, but if I were after a gigantic pizza, I'd probably come here.

Carville Dry Cleaners aren't cheap in terms of standard dry-cleaning prices. They do have deals for getting multiple items cleaned, and it is very convenient, so I occasionally go if I have a large amount that needs to be dry-cleaned.

The last time I went however, I was told that one of my items was not eligible for the deal, though I was told the day before that it was. I really dislike inconsistent service or being told one thing by staff and another by a different member on a different day, so I wasn't pleased by that at all. However, they did honour what the first member said, so I appreciated that. What annoyed me further was they said that there was no guarantee they would be able to get the stain out of the clothing, when it wasn't an oil-based stain, just a bit of dirt. If I wanted my clothing to come out the same as it had gone in, I wouldn't have bothered going to the dry cleaner at all, what's the point of getting something cleaned if you can't guarantee that it's going to come out cleaner than it went in?

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed given the cost and service of this place. They are somewhat redeemed by the fact that if you drop your clothes off before 10, you can get them back before the end of business day.

The best thing I think you can do with a good pair of shoes is to take care of them, because then they will last you a very long time. The place I go to for this is Coombs, because they are a business who really knows what they're doing. The people are friendly, they've been there for a very long time, and they are patient, and give great advice regarding shoes.

I wasn't ready to give up my first pair of heels ever, which were really showing their wear/age. They repaired them, polished them, built up the heel again and replaced the inner sole too. Made them look brand new, and I was really impressed. I get a lot of my new flats with leather soles Topy-ed, so there is a rubber half-sole that prevents slippage.

Whenever I go, they always shine up my shoes, making them look much better than what they went in looking like. Their prices are reasonable, I normally pay roughly $50 for a half-sole and a fresh rubber heel resole. I cannot recommend them enough, because I have always had fantastic, friendly service here, and they don't try and talk you into more than you need. The one time I had an issue with the rubber sole peeling away, I took it back and they redid it free of charge. I've never had any other problems.

One of the first times in recent memory that I have been here, I went on Mother's Day. That may have been a mistake, as there was an inordinately long wait to eat. However, the last time I was there, it was very different, somewhat quiet actually, and it was unique and refreshing as being on the top level of a building of such a busy city really makes you feel somewhat removed from chaos, if there is such a thing possible at a yumcha restaurant.

The mango pancakes are amazing here, so I really recommend that you get some for dessert. I also really like their har gao, xiao long bao and also the prawns wrapped in rice noodles, drenched in soy sauce that I've forgotten the name of. Overall, I really like this place to eat.

My two recommendations here are the honey butter bread and a flavoured latte of your choosing. If you like your coffee strong, this is a great place to go, the large coffees come in mugs akin to soup mugs, with a whopping three shots.

The honey butter bread is fantastic, crispy but also the right amount of sweetness and cream (of which there is a lot). They offer it in a half size, which is a good portion, as the full is enormous, and I normally share with a few people. It is never too loud here, while it can fill up, there is so much seating without being too cramped. It is open late at night, and this is a great hangout place to go with your friends.

Close to the University of Sydney, this is a great place to go if you have a spare hour between classes. The food is good, and it feels clean, not too heavy, though it is a little on the more expensive side.

The coffee is also excellent, and while they are always busy, there is never too long a wait for it. The roast is excellent, and while many places use Toby's beans, the coffee here is one of the best I've ever had. There is a fair bit of room around for you to sit down too, and it's a lovely open cafe that's really enjoyable to have a meal at.

This place does a fantastic pork roll, they really pack in the fillings and they aren't stingy with the pate. The lady who serves there is really friendly too, and you can't go wrong for how little you're paying! One of the cheapest places to get a very filling meal in Westfield Parramatta.

The churros here are so delicious! Not to mention, quite inexpensive. They are so crispy, and come out hot with plenty of hot chocolate sauce to drip on top. They're at a pretty convenient location as well, not too far from the entrance of the centre closest to the Macquarie University train station, and the coffee is decent and quick as well.

If you're into thick Spanish hot chocolate, they also do that really well, but it is a bit too thick for myself personally. I can see a sweet tooth/chocolate lover quite enjoying it though.
