This review is for Maiocchi, Fortitude Valley QLD

I love maiocchi dresses. Added bonus that I get to support a Brisbane based company when I buy them too. Quality is fabulous, and service is always enthusiastic and friendly. While they aren't the cheapest clothes, they are timeless and classic and will last forever. Their sample/warehouse sales are an event to watch out for!

The thing that initially attracted me was the opening hours as they are open until 8pm four nights a week. It's an unassuming space but in my opinion that's fine as they obviously invest in skilled therapists and equipment. Quality of the treatment was fine, and it was a dedicated block of time, not having someone run in and out constantly as can happen at other places. The service was informative and they were free with information and advice. Not the cheapest around but good value for money

I've used these guys and can't complain. They provide the service that they say they do. They aren't the cheapest nor the most expensive but they do have a well known name behind them. When you consider that if you find little creepies after they've sprayed, they will come back and re-treat then its a pretty good deal

This review is for Verve Cafe And Bar, Brisbane QLD

Verve is one of those hidden gems that you need to know about. It's sort of hidden underneath a theatre and it's really in a dining area of the city - but that's part of its charm! There are constantly changing specials and a staple menu as well. I have not been disappointed with a single dish I've tried here - and I've tried a lot of them! When its busy service can be a bit lacking but that's understandable. The value is superb as well. Only complaint would be the toilets. They're up the back, via a couple of sets of stairs and always a little smelly and scary. Minor complaint though!

Approximate cost: $17

Quirky little cafe in the CBD, as other's have said, it can be a bit difficult to find but it's worth it. Self service, so go on in and find a seat. Coffee is pretty consistent and you get a nice chocolate coated coffee bean with it. Muffins and scones are a bit hit and miss, and I think overpriced to boot, although the rest of the food and drink seems on par. Worth going to just to see the artwork and experience the atmosphere.

This review is for Aromas Tea & Coffee Merchants, Brisbane QLD

A great little place, tucked away from the main thoroughfare of the mall. Service isn't top quality but the coffee is good and the location fantastic. For a city venue, prices are about as expected. I've stopped in here for the occasional coffee and muffin. My only complaint is that I had to send the muffin back to be heated but they were prompt and polite about it. Worth a try!

This review is for Frangipani Baby, Bullaburra NSW

I ordered a ring sling from this store when they had a sale. I ummed and ahhed about it, but I finally bit the bullet and just did it. I'm glad I did. While I already have several wraps and baby carriers, I didn't have a ring sling and I didn't realise what I was missing. The product itself is fabulous, but the service I received from the store is also fantastic. Even through to little details like a handwritten "thanks for ordering" note with a little tea bag attached - it's the gestures like that that make a great business.

Value is on par with other retailers, it's an investment that gives mother's a bit of sanity and freedom back by allowing them to carry baby safely and have two free hands... and I think that's priceless!

This review is for Infinity Massage & Body Therapies, Brisbane QLD

I came here on the recommendation of a colleague and I'm glad I did. The prices are really great value, especially in the middle of the CBD. At those sort of prices, I wasn't expecting fantastic, but I was wrong. I got a remedial massage and the therapist was extremely knowledgable. She worked on the painful knots and focussed not just on the painful areas but the areas which didn't seem connected to the pain (yet turned out to be part of it).

I got the full hour of massage and every minute counted. I didn't want to leave the table! Great value, great service and the quality is great. Definitely a bit of a hidden city gem.

Big plus for stores like this. I do like to be eco friendly so it's a bonus when there are so many products to help that in one place. I have some great bamboo towels which I bought for my baby as they stay much softer than cotton ones. Still going strong!

Yes, not the best value around, but the quality is amazing and the staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic

This review is for That Little Place, Mount Gravatt East QLD

I love a little cafe in walking distance of home, so I was very excited to hear about this little place opening. I was not disappointed. Great coffee (merlo), delicious sweet treats (so naughty) and lovely friendly neighbourly service. Its lovely so see the neighbourhood rally around a new business, especially when they're so deserving of it! Decent value and high quality with smily service.
