I needed new carpet for my townhouse and this place was recommended to me by my agent. I liaised directly with one of the guys and he was just amazing - going above and beyond what I expected from a store. His knowledge of carpet is phenomenal and can recommend the right type of carpet for your needs.

I needed carpet that would provide good wear and tear and was given a few suggestions. Being located in Sydney I wanted to get an idea of what I was buying so the guys sourced a few places here in Sydney that I could go to check out the samples.

They also dropped some carpet samples to my parents house so that could give me their opinion on the carpets I had chosen.

The overall price was reasonable but its the service that I will boast about.

Delivery and installations were done quickly and professionally and end result exceptional. They removed the old carpet and underlay at no extra cost.

Bacon is NOT a condiment!! Therefore I expect to see it mentioned on the menu when reading the description of the burgers I am ordering.

We ordered some burgers from here for lunch and after specifically asking whether the beef burger I was planning on ordering had bacon in it, and told no, i was unpleasantly surprised to find it in my burger when it was delivered to my table.

Staff were apologetic but we had to wait what seemed a very long time to get our orders in the first place, and then to wait again for a new burger was just not a good dining experience. My partner had finished his burger when mine arrived (and he is a slow eater!)

The chicken burger did outline on the menu that it came with bacon so it was very annoying when it wasnt mentioned the burger I was ordering.

This is a great and funky cafe specialising in delicious made-on-site cupcakes. The decor is appealing and the arm chairs relaxing. The coffee is strong and hot (but still drinkable!)

Caught up with a friend here for a coffee and a muffin. The place is new and clean with both tables and booths for dining. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The coffee was good and the home made muffins were very nice - fresh and big.

The place was quiet when we arrived (11am) but when we left it was pretty busy (1215pm). There were plenty of "reserved" tables so may pay to book if you are looking to have a group lunch there.

This review is for Olivo On Blue, McMahons Point NSW

We had breakfast here on Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised by everything. I always expected the Lower North Shore cafes to be overpriced with small portions but Olivo on Blue is anything but.

Good sized servings and reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and attentive and the place gave off a wonderful vibe.

The coffee was excellnt but the kids milkshakes were absolutely delish! And for only $2.50 (for the kids milkshake) they were a bargain.

We will defintely be back to try more from the menu.

There as plenty on of parking on Blues Point Road and they had high chairs for the little ones (though no change tables in the bathrooms).

Approximate cost: $15 for breakfast dishes

This is a new cafe located in Burwood Westfield serving Fair Trade Organic Coffee. The coffee is good and well made (R $3.50, M $4.00 and L $4.50) - just the right temperature to drink whilst wandering the shopping centre. They also serve snacks including yoghurt and pretzels.

When my usual coffee place in Burwood closed for renovations, this place was right next door and so I was forced to try it. I was nicely surprised as the coffee was good and tasty. Service was friendly and fast.

This review is for Taste Baguette, Westfield, Sydney NSW

Great campos coffee and really tasty baked goods. Fantastic almond croissants and all at a reasonable price. The service is friendly but can be a little slow, especially when they are busy - 10am coffee time for the offices in the area sees rather long queues, but the coffee is good so worth the wait.

If you are after a great large coffee in a nice cafe then this is the place for you. The coffee is served in a bowl and is delish. The food here is good, though serving sizes are not huge. Service is great and friendly.

This place is really busy on the weekends (we arrived at 845am and the place was almost full!). There is good reason why it is busy - the food is fantastic and the coffee is great. The cafe is light and airy. There are high chairs for kiddies. Staff are friendly and service is relatively fast (though we had to wait quite a while for our coffees to go as they were starting to get busy again.

Approximate cost: $52 for two breakfasts, 4 coffees and 1 malt milkshake
