Great little joint. Usually come past here at least once a week for a sit down chai tea. Amazing herbal blend but they also do a chai latte for those who like a bit of a stronger/sweeter hit. Nice comfortable seating with both indoor and outdoor options. A small selection of café 'eats' including wraps/salads/pastries...not the cheapest so it's probably better if you eat elsewhere and come here for a tasty coffee/tea. Free wifi is a mega bonus. Friendly barristers and join the Un Caffe Club to get a card to swipe where points are accrued and can be redeemed for a free coffee. All in all a good place for a pretty tasty coffee.

Approximate cost: $5

If you're a bit strapped for cash this is a good place to go. Although the selection isn't the most extensive, there is some basic pub choices including roasts of the day, Schnitzels with a variety of toppings, steaks and even a Kangaroo fillet. The service is quite good nothing superb but nothing to complain about and there's even a salad/veg bar that's included with the purchase of mains and has quite a bit to choose from. You can get quite full on the salad bar alone and for $5.00 that sure is a bargain!

This review is for The Yoghurt Shop, Modbury SA

Quite a good shop. Always have a special going where you can save a few dollars and a nice option of being able to mix various toppings together. However be a bit cautious, the yogurts are quite high in sugar. Best bet is to go for the natural yogurt flavour with a mix in rather than the skinny one which has quite a bit of sugar added. Obviously more expensive than the supermarket stuff but good for something different once in a while. Check out the website for specials.

This is my favourite coffee/tea place. Being a daily customer, I am always met with a huge smile by the girls, Angie and Nat. Serving a vast selection of healthy lunch options including wraps, salads, sandwiches, focaccias etc. there is no shortage of options. There's a gourmet selection such as eggplant, avocado, sundried tomato, options of toasted or fresh and anything in between. Definitely a great place for the health conscious. One outstanding feature is the impeccable customer service. Customers are acknowledged straight away and never left waiting long. Not only that, but if an ingredient is missing someone will run out then and there to grab it from the nearby supermarket - the customer is ALWAYS put as a priority. Would absolutely recommend this place...after all it keeps me coming back day to day.

This review is for Ipho Noodle Bar, Salisbury SA

Being a cold-roll affectionate I'm quite a fan of this place. Opening up about 8 months ago, this is quite a regular go-to for me for my cold roll fix. The portions are quite good, $5 for 3 cold rolls. The specialty here is the Ipho soup but they also serve laksa as well as rice and noodle dishes for quite good prices (the menu is on the website). The great thing is that they're open every night unlike a lot of the local other Vietnamese places that tend to be closed on Monday nights. The service is nice and quick - I've never had to wait for my take away orders to be made when I've rung them through and the taste and portion sizes are quite large. Definitely recommend giving this place a go - good enough to keep on coming back :)

Approximate cost: $5 cold rolls

This review is for Rheinland Bakery, Salisbury Downs SA

I am quite reluctant to post negative comments however I was absolutely dumbfounded by the poor service I received from this business. I regularly attend the same business at the Elizabeth Shopping Centre where I received exceptional service but the service at Salisbury was horrendous. I ordered a coffee, asking for decaf and soy. Firstly, the girl made it with normal milk (which I can't drink due to lactose intolerance) and a standard size. When I told her this she actually rolled her eyes at me...(absolutely shocked me) and said that I never said I wanted soy milk or a large size (I know I would never have asked for normal milk). She then grabbed the coffee from me, charged me an extra cost for the large and the soymilk and started making another standard size again, slamming the fridge when she took the soymilk out. I reminded her about the large size and AGAIN was met with rolling eyes. That was as much as I could take. I asked her if I could get a refund and speak with her manager. Of course, she said she was the manager. I simply said to her that I was disappointed with her service and I hoped that she didn't treat her other customers like that. She proceeded to tell me that she has exceptional customer service skills and I was the one to blame as I couldn't make a proper order.
That was all I could take...I was really on the verge of actually engaging in her rude tirade but thankfully I took a deep breath, wished her a good day and walked off. I have NEVER been treated like that and sincerely hope that she was only having a bad day and doesn't treat all customers like that.
I won't be coming back to find out if it was only a once off, that's for sure!

Based on that experience, would NOT recommend this particular place, sorry!

This has been my gym that I attend religiously for about 2 years. It has an AWESOME selection of cardio equipment, perfect for those who are into the cardio scene. Includes a heap of treadmills (you'll NEVER need to wait to get one), stair machines, steppers, 3 different bike types (recumbent, upright and game-console), rowers and elliptical. Also a huge selection of weights and not to mention a variety of classes. PT's are always around and they sell a bunch of gear/proteins shakes etc. They also run regular competitions/challenges. Great club located right next to the Elizabeth Shopping Centre

This review is for Salad Choice, Adelaide SA

Love this place - it's a gourmet version of Subway. Always grab the 'make your own' Salad option. Large size is $11.95. Great array of veggies/additions including gourmet options such as roast eggplant, capers, sundried-tomato etc. for not extra cost. Not to mention the Salmon, tofu and other such options. The only downfall is the cost (a subway salad usually costs less than $7.00). Service is usually pretty quick and friendly. They also do $2.50 coffee's which is a bargain (however no choice of size). Beats Sumo Salad any day!

Approximate cost: $11.95

I buy my cold rolls from here, amazing value (usually $4.80 for a three pack). Huge sizes and very friendly service. Are more than happy to make a fresh batch when requested. Also serve the usual 'pile up your plate' special. Open during normal shopping hours with late night shopping on Thursdays.

Great customer service. Had my car fixed by Pat, friendliest bloke ever. Paid excellent attention to detail, gave me a free hire car, kept me up to date with progress. Quick and efficient and even went the extra mile, fixing up things the insurance didn't cover. Super happy with the service. Highly recommended!
