I visited this place for the first time a few days back. Its fairly new and is in the same spot where another cafe used to be. The staff were very friendly and enthusiastic! I ordered a cappuccino and a chocolate mallow pie it was called, which was a creamy chocolate tart kind of thing. The pie was beautiful and there were a few other quite nice looking sweets there as well. My coffee was made well it didn't taste too strong or burnt like at some other places and was pretty creamy. They gave me a loyalty card too which was good. The slices where actually quite cheaply priced for a cafe too.

I have been to the brewery many tines over the years, and most recently I went there for lunch on a Sunday. I recommend Sunday lunch time and afternoons as the best time to go here as they usually have entertainment at those times. We watched a singer who was also playing the guitar in the outdoor area overlooking the water which is very picturesque on a sunny day. There was a relaxed friendly vibe and the performer had a nice voice and played a mix of mostly easy listening style cover songs. Drink prices here are about average, however some are a bit pricey, depending on what you order. There is a better selection of brands of wines and beers here than many other bars in the area. I ordered a light lunch of some bruschetta style breads and herb bread to share which were quite tasty and fresh. I didn't have to wait too long for my order either which was good considering it was pretty busy. Overall this place is a pretty good location but the food itself is ok but isn't amazing.

I went here one night for a few drinks for a friends birthday. It happened to be karaoke that night, which I don't enjoy doing myself but it was fun to watch! This place had all the basics which we needed, like a pool table and a little outdoor undercover area for smokers. The drinks were very well priced but there wasn't a huge wine selection. The whole premises was very small though, it felt quite cramped. The bar staff were friendly and I didn't have to wait too long at the bar to be served so that was good to see.

I dined here and had a few drinks one Saturday night for my friend's birthday. I ordered an Asian dish of combination chow mein which was quite tasty and a generous portion size. The price was about average, not as cheap as many other clubs I have been to, but they do have cheaper prices for members. There was a good variety of menu options to choose from and they have a little cafe area too with cakes and slices for dessert. As for the club itself the atmosphere was friendly and the bar staff were pleasant enough, and they had a good outdoor courtyard kind of area too. I was also pleased to see that they had a free shuttle bus which me and my friend caught back to her place so that was great!

This review is for Markets Cafe At Westfield Tuggerah, Tuggerah NSW

I have dined here a few times now, I always go here when I'm at Tuggerah. The atmosphere in here is great, if you are at Westfield Tuggerah and looking for somewhere more comfortable and quiet to sit than in the food court or all the out in the open cafes this is a good place to go. Its in a little corner away from all the walkways. They have a nice variety of cakes and slices which are always really yummy, I usually order coffee and cake. I recommend the chocolate varieties! The service is friendly too and out of all the times I have gone there for lunch I have never had a bad experience.

This review is for Bon Oz Cafe, Kotara NSW

I stopped in here for afternoon tea while shopping and had one of the afternoon specials, which was a coffee and cupcake deal. The cupcake was quite moist and tasted of good quality, and the cappuccino was served nice and hot but tasted about average. The prices were good, it was about $6 for the coffee and cake if you go there after 3 in the afternoon. My order took a while coming out though although there weren't that many other customers there at the time, and one of the staff members I encountered were very nice and pleasant however the other one was a bit surly.

I went here for lunch with a friend recently. We were a little surprised with how small the lunch menu was, there wasn't much variety to choose from, and we were also told that some of the things on the menu wasn't available that day either as they were out of some ingredients. My friend also asked if a dish that wasn't on the menu could be made for her and they couldn't offer her that either. So we were a little disappointed in that respect. However the waitress was lovely and the food was tasty enough and of a reasonable price, and there was some daily specials available too. The food came out quickly. The atmosphere and decor really wasn't my cup of tea though, as it was very dark in there of a daytime with not much lighting and it felt cramped to me. So I would rate this place 3 stars on the food but only 2 stars overall as the lack of menu options and the lighting really put me off.

I had lunch here and ordered an 'Israeli Salad' which has dates and almonds and these interesting little sweet potato thin crisps through it. It was quite tasty and very filling for a salad which was great! They made a good coffee too, I get mine on soy milk and they must use a nicer tasting soy milk at this place as it was nice and creamy. The service was fast and the waitress was polite. I really liked the variety of salads available and that there was a decent amount of things to choose from on the lunch menu. Prices were about average. Overall this was a great place and I would probably go back.

I have dined here a few times and the food and the service is always lovely. It has a great country atmosphere and the outside dining area is really picturesque as there is a little bit of pretty gardens to look at and also most times I have dined there I have encountered a very friendly big lizard who comes and jumps onto the table sometimes! Most recently I ordered a kind of vegetarian Foccacia melt however I ordered it with gluten free bread which they have available most times. It was quite nice and a generous sized serving too. The scones with jam and cream is also very tasty and fresh so I would recommend those as well.

This review is for Morpeth Woodfired Pizza, Morpeth NSW

I dined here with my mum when we were in Morpeth one day and the food here was lovely and the range of pizza toppings and flavours were quite unusual and different. They even had venison available on the menu! I had a traditional style vegetarian on a thin crust and it tasted really healthy and authentic, not too greasy which was good. The pizza really is wood fired too, as you can feel the heat from the ovens in the dining room. The service was good and we were served our food really quickly. A great place for pizza!
