A really fun place to buy a gift for anyone,the stock is asian inspired kitsch with a few oddities thrown in for good measure.There are also clothes to choose from.Quirky funny t shirts and cool dresses that are small edition.The owner is really fun to chat to ,too.A bit pricey in some ways but the stock is so unusual it makes up for it.

A really lovely store,great designer pieces but priced accordingly.A very inspirational shop,I love to see the Karen Walker clothes that they have stocked.They also have some very cute kids clothing.

A fantastic dining experience.Great food and a very interesting and stimulating interior.The walls are heavily adorned with quirky old fashioned Japanese adverts and paintings.There are tables that you can sit down at cross legged,and the backgarden is a little bamboo heaven.The staff are friendly and unobtrusive.I have been going there for years and never had a bad meal.

A really lovely eating experience.The location is central but accessible,parking is always available nearby.The building is very ineresting as it retains some of its old fashioned butchers paraphenalia.The food is always good though not gourmet,it is very tasty well presented,decently priced and served with a genuine smile.The fact that it caters to kids without losing its sense of taste is a huge bonus.

A fantastic place to rent a movie from,as it is way off the mainstream path but not lost in arthouse hell.It is inspiring to choose a dvd from here as the range is so great and unusual,fairly priced too.

Although the shop doesnt have a very pretty interior the staff are nice and helpful.There is a huge range to choose from and it is well layed out.

A really well laid out and quirky shop.A very nostalgic experience for lovers of all things 60's and 70's,probably 50's too.A joy to look through and well priced.The goods are in great condition and there is none of that musty secondhand gruge in the air.

All the products are organic and cruelty free.There is a huge range of carefully selected stuff apart from fruit.As usual with organic stores it is a bit more expensive than non organic ,but the quality is very high.They have very yummy cakes stocked too and the beauty products are really good.

There is nothing on the menu that isn't great.They are a cut above all bakery cafes in the local area.Always busy due to the excellence of food and service.My only complaint is that it is a bit squashed inside,so it isn't very peaceful.

Approximate cost: $10

A relaxing place to eat,very busy but large enough to handle it.There are a range of places to sit from window seats to central tables to smaller booths,so it suits all sorts of dining needs,private or a group,people watching or secluded.The food is always good,the service friendly.

Approximate cost: $13
