All things paper and cardboard abound. Lovely things to hang on your wall. Stationary sets that make you want to never email again. I love blank paper, this shop inspires me.
I buy all my greeting cards here, they are beautiful. And Honest Paper run a loyalty card for your greeting cards similar to a coffee loyalty card - every sixth card is free, a nice little bonus! Though truth be told, they are expensive, you've probably paid for it by then anyway!

We went here today for brunch, I had breakfast and my friend had lunch. My eggs benedict with bacon was divinely gooey and yolky, with crispy (but not too crispy!) bacon, and my friend's bacon cheeseburger looked amazing, and she was well stoked with it. Her chips - a mixture of potato and sweet potato - were a crispy dream. I'm a breakfast person, and their savoury choices were amazing, I plan to keep going back until I've covered them all! But they also have a pancake and waffle menu, and I had the good fortune to see a half-finished waffle dish, it looked decadent!

Would recommend this place to anyone.

I do so much of my gift shopping here as these guys have an amazing array of good quality products, there really is something for everybody. They offer beautiful, high quality clothing and jewellery, handbags and purses, and well as homewares and kitchen items, funny, silly jokey items that will make anyone laugh, even indoor plants and outdoor garden items and potted plants. Everything smacks of taste and good quality. If you've been looking hard for a gift for the someone who has it all, look here.

Grumpy Vapes sells quality e-juices and vaping equipment at really decent prices, which is important when there is a really competitive and sometimes really overpriced online market demanding your attention. Unfortunately, while when their service is good it is good, when it is bad it is really really bad. And it is one guy in particular. You'll know when you get him. He might answer your excited question by a deadpan 'go on youtube,' or he might simply refuse to show you a product. I have a few friends who only deal online now because of this guy, but I keep going back, because there are some really lovely guys at Grumpy's, and it's worth going back there for them and their knowledge.

At docs pharmacy you feel as though you can ask the questions you need to in order to feel safe with the medications you've been prescribed. The pharmacists are kind and take an interest in every customer. Their staff are friendly and detail-oriented which adds to that feeling of safety. 9 times out of 10 you will find non-PBS medications are the lowest prices that you can find at Doc's.

Working in the hospitality industry I see a lot of weddings. White Roses Styling make them beautiful. After tasteful advice with an eye for rustic charm they provide prop, structure, furniture and lighting rental - up to 5 days, and help with installation where needed. Prices are pretty decent too, and they re-use where they can: flowers from the ceremony might reappear at the reception - they are into maximum joy!

Fantastic business. From the beginning, the reception is friendly and easy going, timely with appointments but understanding if you have an emergency. Then the knowledgeable, honest service team gives you the information you need to make decisions about the work that should be done on your car. If you need further recommendation, next time you're driving around Adamstown have a look in the rear windows of the cars around you, a HUGE number will be sporting those sneaky Adamstown Car Doctors stickers!
