My fussy husband and a friend who is a foodie will only buy fish from this shop in the Oakleigh area. Guaranteed to be fresh and of good quality and if the owner knows ou want ome thing in particular he will get it for you. Great service! Prices are more than Vic market, but much closer to home!

We have had the most yummy hot chocolates here, plus we bought a gift here for a chocolate loving friend who knows his chocolate shops and he particularly enjoyed the chilli chocolates nd the caramel flavored chocolates. Just a small local family run shop, but well-presented good quality products nd helpful service.

This place is paradise for little kids who love lollies, and of course their parents who love chocolate! An excellent range of brands and their own packaged stuff at great prices. We like to go here before a movie, much cheaper than the alternatives!

I've been here a few times when I have gone to Cinema Nova for a movie. The staff are really nice and friendly and the coffee and cakes are great! The breakfasts must be pretty good as it was packed when we went in for a coffee. I have also had lunch here and my foccacia and my daughter's soup were both yum and served quickly.

This review is for Cinema Nova, Carlton VIC

I like going to smaller independent cinemas and Nova always has a great range of films to choose from and many sessions so easy to organize to go there. I like to park downstairs which is very convenient. The staff are pleasant and the velvet seats are comfy. The smaller theatres somehow make the experience of seeing a movie more enjoyable than in the big cinema chains.

This review is for Organic Wholefoods, Fitzroy VIC

An excellent selection of organic fruit and veg, plus health food produce, many many organic items plus small containers you can get bulk staples from. They have biodegradable containers or you can bring your own. I bought some chia seeds and eir prices are competitive, this type of stuff is always pretty expensive anyway. Service is relaxed and friendly. A nice shop to visit and stay healthy and ethical!

The cafe section sells yummy stuff and it is great to get basic dried foods etc such as beans, oats in bulk with much less packaging than normal as ou can bring your own. I just wish there were more shops around like this!

This review is for Readings, Malvern VIC

There are just not enough book stores out there anymore! This Readings I swell-stocked with friendly and helpful staff who gave me good suggestions when I was looking for a present dorky niece recentl. Great kids section and lots of unusual things you can't get everywhere.

This review is for St Ali, South Melbourne VIC

Fantastic coffee and yummy chicken burger sandwich with a huge and juicy piece of chicken and a great tasting dressing. The service was friendly and we luckily made it onto a table before the lunch rush arrived! We told the waitress we didn't have much time so our meals were served in a flash! The other meals of smoked salmon etc. and special egg sandwich with the works also looked delicious. I will definitely be going back, worth the South Melbourne prices.

This review is for Rod Hind Service Centre, Bentleigh East VIC

These guys are fantastic! They serviced my car recently and were honest, kept me informed and charged me less than my previous mechanic. The car is running well. So when my second ( borrowed) car's headlight went out I took it to them. They fixed it immediately despite the fact that they were busy ( the place is always very busy). I cannot recommend this place highly enough but you may need to book ahead for a service as they are very popular with good reason!
