A nice little jeweller located in the heart of the Plaza. The staff are nice and not overly pushy when you're just browsing. Great variety and some lovely pieces. I like the fact that their stock and displays change quite regularly.

This review is for Papardelle, Haberfield NSW

The inside of Pappardelle is just as spectacular as what it looks from the outside, if not better. We were a party of 5 and were lucky to get a table, as the restaurant began to get quite full shortly after we arrived. For starters we had some bruscetta which we thoroughly enjoyed as the tomatoes were finely chopped and well dressed. Following, we each enjoyed the gnocchi, spaghetti marinara and risotto. Surprisingly the risotto wasn't too soft and gluggy, but instead was cooked so that its texture was perfect. Highlight of the night was definitely dessert-Crème Brûlée. Having never tasted one before my expectations were not high, but this dessert absolutely blew me away, so much that every time we dine out I eagerly jump to the dessert menu to see if its on offer. Service was decent considering how busy they were.

This place has a real cosy, homey feeling to it. I was really happy with the Veal Schnitzel I ordered as it was decent sized and had great flavours accompanying it. Definitely wouldnt be dining here every week as its quite expensive. Its one of our 'treats'

This review is for Amok 1 Australia, Haberfield NSW

Amongst all the larger shops along Ramsay St, the small, run down exterior of Amok could almost be missed. Having driven past this shop many times and glanced over, I decided it was finally time to pay them a visit- unfortunately it was only short (but sweet!). I did leave with a scarf to add to my ever growing collection. The staff were really nice and service was great.

This review is for Lamonica Homewares, Haberfield NSW

This is one of my favourite local homeware shops. My last visit here, I spend almost an hours just browsing at all the lovely bits and pieces they sell, then another hour to decide what to buy ( I would've taken everything in the shop if I could!) I ended up leaving with a gorgeous willow tree set, a tea pot and some creative candles. Prices aren't too steep in comparison to other homeware stores.

This review is for Franks Fruit Market, Haberfield NSW

Franks Fruit Market has been successfully running in Haberfield for many years now, so they understand the importance of providing only the freshest produce to their customers. If you've ever been to the shop, you'll notice that it is in fact quite tiny, but they've managed to organise it in a way that enables a wide variety of fruit and veg to be stocked. Their prices are competitive, and you can often pick up a bargain. The family that runs the shop is really friendly, and will always help you out so that you leave their shop with what you are looking for. I much prefer supporting these local businesses than giving my money to the larger supermarket chains.

This review is for Cut Price Tobacco Shop, Haberfield NSW

This place comes in really handy whenever I need to get a piece of clothing altered. The friendly Asian lady that works here only charges me $12-$15 for taking up the hem or taking in pants, which I think is great. She also does a really good, neat job of it. The place does look a little dodgy, but thats simply because it hasn't been renovated and does not reflect the service given whatsoever.Would definitely recommend Cut Price Tobacco Shop.

Love dropping past this place after work for an ice cream. Their Vanilla Bean and Passionfruit take the cake for me. They also make some creative desserts upon request. The store is usually quiet, so waiting time is not long.
