Found this place on holidays and really found some nice decorative items to take home. All items are reasonably priced, but the quality is much better than other 'bargain' shops. Well worth the look around. Would have brought more if it would have fitted in my luggage!

Had lunch here while on holidays. Great food, loved the spicy chicken dom (or don). Good value too, very reasonably priced. Service was friendly and very quick, although it was quiet as we had an early lunch. Only drawback is I couldn't get a coffee afterwards.

Approximate cost: $9

Been buying Chinese Take Away here for years and have always enjoyed the meals. They offer a large variety of meals. Our favourites are Cashew Prawns with Vegetables, Seafood Combination and Beef in Black Bean Sauce. Service is reasonably quick and prices are reasonable. You can dine in, but I haven't tried it.

Approximate cost: $12 to $18

Great place to buy Pizza's. Our favourite is the Chefs Special. Been buying here for years and have never had a bad pizza. You always get lots of meat and vegies on the pizzas so they actually fill you up. Good value too, as they have a two for one deals. Can be busy so if you don't want to wait, phone ahead with your order. They have an eat in area too, but I haven't tried that out.

Went here with a small group of friends, for a weekday lunch. The food and coffee were great. Had a good variety of choices for my vegetarian friend and my gluten intolerant friend, which is a nice change! We had to sit outside (luckily the sun was shining), because it was so busy. If you have a group, probably a good idea to book. Staff were friendly, but maybe new to the job or not used to being so busy, as they had a few minor hiccups along the way!

Friendly staff and cheap coffee. They have been offering $2 cups of coffee for quite awhile. I have decaf latte and it's still only $2! I find the latte's fine, although I'm no coffee connoisseur. Good variety of cakes, a lot are too sweet for me, but I do enjoy the occassional french vanilla slice.

Went with a group to the Bistro on Mothers Day, the service was friendly and meals arrived quite quickly. Wasn't impressed with the Chicken Mignon. The presentation, etc was OK, but it was really pretty tasteless. My daughter, who is vegetarian didn't like the Pumpkin Lasagne and left most of it and I can't say it looked very appetizing. My son said the roast was Ok, but not as good as he's had elsewhere. Some of the group did enjoy their meals, but can't say I was very impressed personally.

Approximate cost: $22 to $28

The place to go for affordable manchester. Friendly staff and cheap prices. I've brought towels and sheets here and they have all been great. There are goods of various quality, so you need to dig around a bit

These guys were very helpful when we wanted to replace our antenna in order to get digital stations better. They supplied all the parts and advice for my husband to do it himself and even supplied extra screws to make sure.

This is one of my favourite Op shops in Geelong. They always have a great variety of bric a brac and are very reasonably priced and of course any money you spend goes to charity. I also like this Op shop because everything is always clean and nicely displayed, so you know what they have. Recently I brought some magazines for 20 cents each and a lovely small black evening bag for $5. There are 2 shops next to each other, one has mainly clothes and books, etc and they other one has all the bric a brac.
