I absolutely love this place. The family always stops here when heading up north.

They are so busy that you need to take a number but most people take aeay so frying a table is not difficult.

My wife like their coffee and I am a bit fan of the pies. The little ones love the donuts and their eyes light up for each visit.

Approximate cost: $5

Quality Nd service here are great but I would not say they justify the price. I can get a full lunch for the price of some of the snacks there.

I went for different Baclava and whilst I thought it was better than average it was not wow.

Approximate cost: $8

This is your standard Melbourne CBD laneway restaurant in size only.
The food is very good and comes out quickly but not so quickly that you have to juggle table space.

Service is very attentive and the empty bowls were taken away promptly and replaced with the next dish.

When we finished there was no hurry up and the bill was presented only when we asked for it.

Two visits here have both been pleasant

Approximate cost: $6

Converted factory made into a series of pens for cats. Each one has matresses, chairs cat litter boxes, scratching poles and little hidey holes for the cats.

I book a double pen each time and the cats are really settled when I pick them up. There is a large play pen if your cats are bold and they have a range of food for the cats that are included in the price.

My only issue would be that getting in and out can be a bit restrictive.

Approximate cost: $35

I have come here several times only because I needed a sick leave note. Not to be healed.

They misdiagnosed me when I needed genuine help.
I know it depends on the doctor you get but on my other visits I have not been too impressed either.

They charge over the bulk billing rate but offer no more value than a bulk billing place.

Use them if you need a subscription or a sick note but otherwise there are better.

Approximate cost: $65

My friends and I gather here occasionally to catch up. We order a variety of dishes and share them. I always make sure there is a estate or beef in black bean sauce as these are my favorites but I like all their dishes.

Service is good for Chinese with the waitresses smiling and offering the occasional suggestion if asked.

It is a bit more expensive than orher eastern themed restaurants but all Chinese restaurants are.

I went here for my 40th birthday with immediate family. All if us were impressed.

Service was friendly without being smothering. The place was small but nicely decorated.

We all liked our food.

The place is not in walking distance to other entertainment but it is worth making a specific visit.

This place really needs to decide if it is a bakery or takeaway because it is too small to be both and in trying it does neither very well.

Firstly the store is cramped, hit and a bit dirty looking. The takeaway display is small and the chips always seem soggy.

Bread is not very good and the range of cakes is so restricted by space that they might not have bothered.

I walk past other bakeries to get to this one for their ham and cheese crusaunts. They have the ham and cheese cooked in so there is no need to cut the crusant open and no need to flatten it in a grill to heat it.

The sausage rolls are ok but a bit greasy. They offer a wide range of freak style cakes and slices that are good too.

Bread is ok but I don't go there for it.

I don't drink coffee but this place must do a reasonable one because that have a wait for it and there is plenty of competition along the street.

My one complaint would be the high counters which make paying awkward.

The general rule of thumb is you cannot go far wrong with a country bakery. I have yet to find similar quality in the city and Strathy bakery is a cut above again. They started out in a pokey store but was so good people came from far to get their bread there.

Now that have a large and airy bakery/ cafe with a ranged of cakes and slices along with fresh sandwiches using there bread and hit food.

Their bread is still really good and on a hot day it is the place to sit and relax and enjoy a meal out if the sun.

If it is not out of your way it is worth the visit.

Approximate cost: $10
