Sam takes great care to ensure that service is fast and first priority. He takes great pride in this cafe and it shows. The food is fresh, the hot chocolates are AMAZING and the smile on his face is what keeps people coming back. I always used to love the wraps and cakes, easy for me to pop down during the work day and always find something good to eat. He has a great selection of Lindt chocolate and awesome sandwiches. But most importantly was the bacon and egg wrap - always ask for BBQ sauce as well - it's the BEST!

The best massage my husband has ever had. He has tried many sports massages all over the world and this was the best he has had. The women stretched out his neck, she worked on his hips, back and generally got all the various parts of his body to make him feel amazing. His hips feel better (they are normally very tight), his back is relaxed (when it normally is in alot of pain) so he is keen to go back, and even better - they have a reward system for every 30 mins. So, every five hours of massage you get a free 30mins. Winning!

Disappointed in the service - it's always inconsistent and the queuing system is really unfair. I found that the food is average, and having once found a piece of plastic in my cheesecake once, I was permanently put off, which is a shame because it's a local. However, a good place to get milk if you run out and they are open quite late most nights.

If you haven't yet tried the karage chicken - then you must! I love the pork dumplings and the interior design of the place is really cool. They always do a good job of matching the wines to the food and the raw tuna - can't miss it. I've been here a lot as I live locally and I find the service, food and drinks are just awesome. You can always find a park and they keep it nice and warm in the winter time and open it up in the summer. Winner!

It's a great deal when you have the kids. pizza and pasta for $10 - you can't really go wrong. The big breakfast is pretty good too - I like that there is a playground and it's dog friendly too - great if we want to sit outside with the dog.

I always used to walk past, never bothering to venture in, until one day a friend recommended it for the fruit and veg. I'm so glad I went, as a local it's great to know I can get really high quality produce within walking distance of home. I really like the organic produce - a lil' expensive but worth it because of the local sourcing.

Treats are really high quality as are the leads and collars. The service is also always really friendly. I'm looking forward to buying my dog a new collar again soon and will be checking out the range at Pets of Elwood because it's quality I can rely on.

Love the service, love the food, it's my local and it's the best! I get coffee everyday and they are the best in the area by a country mile.

Levi is a great hairdresser - he listens, he takes into consideration the hair as well as lifestyle and I always get a really quality cut. The haircut lasts, I continue to style it and feel good about it, and am just generally pleased with the high quality of service.
