I have clothed my son for a year from this shop & he constantly receives comments on how great his clothes are. I was taken to this place by a friend when I was pregnant & I can't thank her enough. Second hand toys, books, clothes, furniture and much more are here in abundance and at excellent prices. You need to pop in regularly if you are looking for something in particular as things move very quickly. Well worth a visit for children from age newborn to about 8.

A cosy environment and friendly, attentive service make this place a great place to have lunch or a coffee. The food has a touch of being old fashioned and the servings are generous. Prices are very reasonable. This eatery also sells homemade drinks, jams & biscuits.

We've used this business on 4 occasions for carpet and vinyl. The range is great, prices are exceptionally reasonable and service is helpful. There are short roles of vinyl and carpets which can be very cheap to use if you have only a small area to cover.

After having injury problems for some time, I visited this place and received treatment which has remeded the problem. There's nothing fancy about this place, but the Ostepath I saw (Emily) was able to diagnose and treat my back in a short space of time. Flexible hours too.

This review is for Thai Saffron, Brighton VIC

The most tasty Thai food I've had and I've eaten at many in Melbourne. You need to book ahead a little as this place is busy. The food is totally delicious & well presented. Staff wear traditional Thai costumes and are very courteous and efficient. If you love Thai food, then you must visit this eatery.

Delicious food and extremely reasonable prices keep me coming back to this little restaurant. Close to the corner of Swanston & Lonsdale Streets, there is ample seating, quick and efficient service. Open late, so if you've finished work late on a Friday night, or you've been shopping till late, you can still grab a bite that will be tasty and cheap.

Approximate cost: $14.50

This review is for John's Window Roller Shutters, Dandenong VIC

After moving into our house, we realised that we needed external shutters. We contacted John's who had been recommended to us by family. We were visited promptly. The service was great with each window being measured, colours discussed, all very easy. A couple of weeks later the shutters were fitted by friendly, professionals. A great experience.

This review is for Bennettswood Design Jewellers, Burwood VIC

I was given an old piece of jewellery by an aunt. I took it into this jewellers to have a chat about how I could extend the piece. Although this required a great deal of work, these people couldn't do enough to help out with suggestions and a variety of options. Since that time, I've purchased a number of items through this jewellers who offer a broad range of options including estate jewellery. Well worth a visit. The service is second to none as a number of "real jewellers" work from the location.

This review is for The Dancing Queen, Fitzroy VIC

A great place to visit if you love beautful fabrics. This shop stocks a great array of fabrics that are left overs from theatrical creations, plus a variety of other sources. Great service is offered with staff knowing a great deal about the fabrics. Prices vary but there are always some bargains. This place is really fun to visit.

This review is for Be Beautiful, Hampton VIC

I have been visiting this beauty salon for almost 3 years. I used to live bayside but have moved. I still visit this salon because of the friendly, professional care I receive. The prices are excellent & the salon is always clean. Nicole always does her best to accommodate you with appointment times.
