I came here for coffee and was pleased with the standard of coffee, strong with a good crema. Reasonable pricing for the drinks, treats looked a bit small for the money. Would come here again.

Approximate cost: $3.50-5

The food here is delicious and fresh but the pricing is a bit excessive. It has a nice atmosphere but we booked a table and still had to wait- and then they still try to charge a surcharge for booking! Service wasn't great, but if you want a bit of a fancy breakfast or lunch it is a beautiful place for a date or something.

Approximate cost: $18-22

This review is for Ivy Bar, Sydney NSW

This place has a great atmosphere and a classier feel than some of the other night spots around Sydney. Can be a bit pricey but is a nice place to come when you want a night out with friends in a more mature scene.

This review is for Mum's Advice Pharmacy, Potts Point NSW

This pharmacy can be a great little local place to pick up what you need but it is very staff-dependent. Sometimes the staff are great and give great advice, other times you don't feel heard and end up spending money on products that are not suitable based on advice. Hit and miss, but fine for picking up scripts.

Have had a few treats from these guys and now love this place. The baked goods are really yummy and without the price tag, my personal favourite is the vanilla slice, it has a really good filling and a gooey passionfruit layer below the crunch top. It is cash only but there are ATMs nearby. Friendly service too.

Approximate cost: $3.50

This review is for Fratelli Fresh, Potts Point NSW

This place is pricey but the food is delicious. I particularly like the Gorgonzola and crispy polenta (yum). The service is ok but not overly attentive. Nice place to sit outside and watch the street below with some good food if you have the cash to splash.

This review is for Bottega Del Vino, Potts Point NSW

This place is great for quality wines or a bit of gourmet food with a coffee. They sell organic and small farm dairy and chocolate. I love coming here for a coffee with cake, there is a small but pleasant seating area outside. The cake is yummy and the lunches are next on my list to try as they always look delicious. Friendly staff, card or cash.

I love the cakes here, they are always fresh and absolutely delicious. The price isn't too bad for the serving size and the service is friendly. Some of the best treats in the area!

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Din Tai Fung, Sydney NSW

For the price I really expected better food. The service is efficient, although a little cold. It is a clean restaurant but I don't think I will come here again given some of the tasty and cheaper competition in the area.

This review is for Beach Burrito, Darlinghurst NSW

verified email - 06 Oct 2013

This place has fantastic mexican, much better than any of the chain stores. The servings are huge and the burritos are so fresh. The standard burritos are really good value, the chimichangas and fajitas take a step up in price but are really good (same size as standard burrito though for an extra $10). Cool atmosphere with some funky tequilas on offer. Staff are fine but you need to go to the counter to order.

Approximate cost: $10-20
