This review is for Chatime, Chatswood NSW

I love the pearl milk teas they make at Chatime. I like the fact that you can chose less ice and less sugar, and they have so many flavours to choose from. My son has become an addict too! We dont live close to any of the stores though, so can only get them when we visit the area.

Approximate cost: $5

This review is for Sofias Restaurant, Allambie Heights NSW

We went to this restaurant in a large group of about 15. The menu is quite big, and all meals are offered in 2 sizes which is great. The smaller portions were adequate size and really well priced. The have lots of pastas and meat specials, but no pizzas. The service was perfect, with all of our meals coming out at a similar time, and without a long wait. They have a good desert selection too. Overall we had no complaints, only praises. It is also BYO.

The view here at Jonah's is fantastic - it worth coming for lunch or early dinner to be able to enjoy it. The service was great, we ordered a bottle of red wine and loved the beautiful decanter they pouring it into for us. The food was good. But overall it is very expensive and quite hard to get to.

The pizza here is fantastic - done in a wood burning pizza oven as it should be. They have great choice of pizza too. It is popular, so always a good idea to book a table. It is BYO or licenced, and well priced.

Approximate cost: $20-25

This review is for The Prikly Pair, Mona Vale NSW

This cafe is run by twins, who go out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The coffee is very good, and they have a great wall display of loyalty cards. Everyone's cards are pinned up on the wall and clipped when needed. They have a great location where you can sit outside, but under cover. The bacon and egg rolls are particularly good.

This review is for Tropics Cafe, Warriewood NSW

This is my "go-to"cafe in Warriewood Square at the moment. The coffee is great, they have a good reward system/loyalty card and friendly service. Often (but not always) when they see me taking a seat with my toddlers, they will bring an activity cheap with crayons to colour and draw. They also have i-pads attached to a wall for the kids to entertain themselves. Definitely recommended.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Eat It Catering, Mona Vale NSW

This cafes does great coffee, and is always very busy. They do nice breakfasts, and are open on Sundays. However, they dont have a very small kids milkshake which is often what we are after. The seating is mostly outdoor, under cover, but is not great for bad weather.

This review is for Kindifarm, Dural NSW

My son loves the Kindifarm whenever it is around. They give the kids food to feed the animals, which is a hit with the kids. Sometimes there are little chicks or mice that the children can handle too.

This review is for Brooke Withers Swim School, Brookvale NSW

I have been taking my kids to this swim school for 3 and a half years now. There is only one swimming pool, shared between all the classes, but they seem to do it without any problems. They are one of the few swim schools that allow make up lessons, and this is worth a lot to me. The floor is heated, and they also have other heaters which helps in winter.

This review is for The Boathouse Palm Beach, Palm Beach NSW

This cafe has to have one of the best locations on the Northern Beaches. It is right on the waterfront, with a jetty outside where both boats and seaplanes can pull up. There are tables outside on the water side, inside, and also in the front, which overlooks Governor Phillip Park. The down side is that it is incredibly popular! On a nice sunny day, the queue to order could be right out of the door. There is no queue to be seated, so one just has to wait around and be the first lucky one to grab a vacating table. When you get your perfect table, and then order the food, the coffee is great, and the breakfasts are good too. The prices are good for a place that is so popular. Overall, this is a fantastic cafe with almost everything going for it. On a nice day midweek, and outside of school holidays there are few better options for a nice slow coffee.
