This review is for Budding Florist, Leichhardt NSW

Budding Florist has been at MarketPlace for as long as I can remember. A very friendly man owns this place, and although I'm not a too frequent customer, he always recognises me when I go into the shop, or even walk by. They're really flexible in creating bouquets that suit your needs, and do an excellent job with their presentation. They're never seen selling old, scrappy looking flowers, and sell only the best.

One of my favourite stores in Marketplace! If your looking for stylish, casual clothing or cocktail dresses, this is the place to shop. Adam Eve & Me have constantly changing stock, so everytime you pop in, they've got something different. My most recent purchase was a Honey & Beau dress for a wedding I had on, and I was really pleased with the service given to me by the lady working there. She helped pair some jewellery with the dress and made recommendations for bag and shoes. Their casual clothing is a little on the pricey side, but thats expected from the 'big' brands they sell.

Approximate cost: $30-200

This review is for Smart Tops Hairdressing, Leichhardt NSW

I've been in a few times for a wash and cut, and have always been satisfied with the service given. If you're after a particular lady to cut your hair, its best to book an appointment beforehand, however I've walked in many times and they've been able to cut my hair immediately. So they're definitely not understaffed! If however, you do need to wait, there are some cushioned stools you can sit on while reading a wide range of magazines provided by them. All staff are friendly, and make an effort to get to know you so that they remember you for next time.
I made the switch to Smart Tops as my old hairdresser was costing me an arm and a leg. These guys dont try to rip you off at all, and because of this, I'll be recommending them to my friends and family.

This review is for Everything Parties & Gifts, North Ryde NSW

Its my go to place for all party needs! They've got a wide range of party supplies including balloons, costumes, decorations, candles etc, all at competitive prices. Ive seen many party shops try to rip you off, but this one is not the same. The staff are really friendly and helpful, but dont make you feel obliged to purchase. I love that you can purchase uninflated balloons, or pay a small fee for them to inflate for you. Additionally, their shelves are always well stocked, so you dont have to deal with the frustration of having to come back another day. I'd definitely call it your one stop shop for party supplies.

I ordered from Gifts for Blokes and received my goods within just a few days (I didnt pay for express shipping) I was super impressed with how quick it arrived, how nicely it was wrapped and packaged, and the complimentary lollies. The website is well structured to, making it easy to navigate and find exactly what you're looking for. They've also introduced a program which rewards you depending on how much you spend. Will be buying again!

This review is for Palm Breeze Cafe, Burwood NSW

Really nice interior design and comfortable lounge booths to dine at. The food is spectacular, and presented really well. I ordered the Chicken Ceasar Salad which I enjoyed thoroughly, especially the mayonnaise-it didnt have that sickly after taste that some Mayos give you.

This review is for Lindt Chocolate Cafe, Sydney NSW

Absolutely gorgeous location at night, with a fountain nearby. After spending almost an hour inside the shop, amongst us we ordered the waffles, hot chocolate and ice creams, all of which were fantastic. The waffles are VERY overpriced though, considering you only get one waffle, slightly larger than the size of a CD. But the tantalising chocolate did make up for the stingy sizing.

Although its a small shop, they've done well to accommodate tables and chairs for customers. Just walking past, the smell will tempt you to walk inside and purchase a burger or chips. Their chips are nice a soft, not too crispy and the chicken salt is just that amazing final touch.

This review is for Bar Sport, Leichhardt NSW

The cafe has a real cosy feel to it, as its so small and tucked away. Although I'm not a sports fan, I love seeing the scores up on the wall- it looks great. They make fantastic coffees, are friendly, polite and efficient.

Approximate cost: $4

This review is for Cheeky Chocolate, North Strathfield NSW

Another of Adriano Zumbo's greatest creations! My mouth was watering from the moment I stepped into this cafe. I ordered the chocolate creme brulee and didn't regret it a single bit. It was fantastic, with all the right textures in one little dish. A little over priced for a dessert but nonetheless delicious.

Approximate cost: $15
