Whilst this is a chain bakery the people that own this run it more like a family business. Yes I have been there when they have been fighting but at least when they offer you service with a smile it is a real smile. They do run out of hot food early, but if they have something cold in the fridge they are happy to sell it to you, unlike other bakeries. Go there early if you want something specific, otherwise enjoy a a shop run by real people

Have never had the same vet, and whilst I do not take my cat in (not any more) regularly it is essentially a doctors for animals your not meant to visit regularly. My issue is when they mis- diagnosed my cat with Asthma in stead of cat flu - he nearly died from the meds they gave him. Took him to a different vet who recognized it as soon as they walked in the door - did actual tests to be sure though. Before this disaster never had great service but was only going for check ups and booster shots so it didn't really matter, but if your animal is actually sick these guys do not have enough experience, and niceness just does heal sick cats

This place is good for snacks, sometimes their meals can be a bit off, but a great place to catch up with friends.

Wow I was in awe when I accidentally walked in here, the happiest accident I have ever made. The staff are Really friendly, make you laugh while telling you about their rocks. Everything in their is really nice, I ended up buying the girlfriend some pretty bracelets and they gave me cards about them so I wouldn't forget what they were. I'm not into crystals, candles or other new age stuff but this is a really cool shop even just to look around and the girls there get that and they don't follow you around trying to sell you stuff. This is a really awesome place and I will be back

This is a small seemingly family run business. the staff are friendly and they have many things you wouldn't expect a newsagent to have.

This bakery seemed nice and the people were lovely, however their bread seemed more than day old and I got sick from the pie I had - which had too much filler not enough meat or other ingredients. If they can switch bakers or improve the quality of their goods this place will be a nice little bakery.

I think this place tried to be too big and that is its problem. The food is alright, the quality matches the price, and the drinks are the same. the place feels empty though and when we were there there weren't a lot of people but it felt emptier than it should. if they down size or get some atmosphere going I think it would be better.

This place is nice enough. they make very basic food, most of it being bought off premises and stored in the fridge so if your Frittata is a couple days old it tastes a bit like fridge, but their coffee is reasonably good and reasonably priced. It seems like the sort of place you'd take your mum on mother's day but if your young and social it is not happening

Approximate cost: $40.00
