I heard about the government's subsidy for home insulation. I called Yori and he came and laid insulation batts in my whole house and it cost me nothing. You have to be the owner of the house and the government pays $1600 which is about right for a 13sq house. Yori was quick, friendly and very helpful. Fantastic service.

Consistently good food and quite plentiful. I love their salads but their pastas and grills are great too. You can always rely on it being open and find something you want to eat on the big menu. The decor is pretty dark and outdated.

Lovely cafe bakery with lots of French pastries. We had breakfast here which was a little expensive for what you get. Coffee was good and they were very busy selling their breads which looked great.

Good quality food, white table cloths and smart interior. They have a good different special every day. Food is tasty but the service is a bit indifferent. Also good to come because it is in the entertainment book so a worthwhile place to try.

Very ordinary, unexciting shopping centre cafe. The cheesecake tasted like flavourless gelatin. Very disappointing. Large but tastless. The staff were friendly and the price was ok.

This gorgeous cafe with an olde world touch opened three days ago and is already doing great business. Owned and operated by two passionate and friendly hospitality aficionados everything is made on the premises, from the delicious cakes and pastries to the soups and pies. A great place for coffee, breakfast and lunch. I predict this is a place that will be talked about. Coffee was very good too.

This great cafe patisserie has only just opened. It has been opened by the same people who owned the same cafe in Marysville but lost it in the fires. The owner chef is passionate about food and everything is made on the premises. This gem is already popular and the quality of the food will make it even more popular as time goes by. They also sell cakes, Yarra Valley produce and Fudge. There is also a place to donate to the Marysville fire department. A must visit.

Although there prices are cheaper than others their service is poor. They said they would pay my claim if I obtained certain information and when I did they found other reasons not to pay out. I have since changed my insurer and would not recommend them.

Popped in here for a quick bite before the Film Festival. Food was delicious and was served quickly. Prices were reasonable and overall we enjoyed the place. Quite a nice feel about it too even though the arcade is a bit rundown.

Lovely cafe with lots of different areas to sit. The food was very good although not big serves. I was told that the antipasta is the best around but I didn't try it. Coffee was great and prices reasonable. They have a cheaper week day lunch menu, a breakfast menu and a more expensive main course dinner menu.
