Love this place - gets so busy on a Sunday morning, but the wait for a table is worth it.

Great coffee and great food.

Very unimpressed with this place. Snooty bar staff who can't even pretend to smile just drive me insane.

It gets very busy, but please at least try and serve your customers with some sort of polite attitude.

Yum - you have to try the goat curry. Its so tender and has the most awesome flavour.

In fact, al lthe curries are great. So rich in flavour.

The restaruant is very comfortable and has a nice atmosphere.

Great value for money.

This place's ethos is about finding the best locally grown/made produce - and it works.

Fruit and veg is fantastic - so fresh and tasty, and more often than not, the same price as Coles/Woolies.

But its the meats where this place stands out - Eumundi Small Goods are absoltuely fantastic (try the bacon), then there's dairy, cheeses, icecreams - all from small businesses and all so very good.

This review is for Campos Coffee Espresso Bar, Newstead QLD

Campos Coffee have been in Doggett Street for years - but this is a relatively new location where they actually do all the roasting now.

There is a little espresso bar attached to the warehouse that provides all the usual coffees and a small range of sweets/cakes.

The coffee is always hot and quickly prepared. The staff know you by name.

For something different, try a cold filtered coffee - very tasty indeed.

Approximate cost: $4.50

Cheap and fast and yummy mexican food - go for the burrito bowl wiht your choice of meat. Tasty and filling and only $10.50 (you seriously get a tonne of food).

Definatly not classy dinning, but a great place to get some seriously good food.

Wow wow wow - this place is awesome. Fresh and fast vietnames and asian food and so very cheap.

My favourite dishes are any of the Pho - chicken breast in a hot noodle soup with bean sprouts, onion and chilli. So cheap and so delicious.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Fentons Cafe Restaurant, Ipswich QLD

This restaurant has been running for years now - and the quality of hte food is still as high as ever.

Everytime I go, I try a different menu item and have always been happy with my choice.

The meals are all reasonably priced - you'd pay twice as much for lesser quality in Brisbane.

My only issue was the last time we dined there was an extremely long wait for dessert - and during that time all service seemed to cease. I wouldhave ordered a drink while waiting, but couldn't find a waiter to save my life

Approximate cost: $36

This place ain't bad.... it's not fantastic, but it's hard to find a place in the New Farm/Teneriffe area that isn't a proper sit down restaurant.

There is a good range of beer, the food isn't too bad - but the nice big deck area is great to sit and chat on a Saturday arvo.

This place isn't fancy, but I love it. You can sit at one of the window seats on a Saturday afternoon and talk crap with your mates and the beers just keep flowing.

The owner is a great guy who knows how to treat the regular customers with respect.

No wankers here... they go across the street!

Approximate cost: $7
