I love City Chic Chermside, The staff are amazing and always friendly, and have spent countless hours bringing things in and out of the change rooms for me. Overall with value, city chic (and not just chermside obviously) is pretty expensive, and often the exact same dress in a size 10 instead of a 22 would be $25 at dotti etc, and sells at city chic for $159. This annoys me a bit - however on the plus side they do have VIP nights here where members can get huge bargains, so it is well worth becoming a member!

Approximate cost: $150

This is such a cute cafe, the food is amazing. It gets really busy on the weekends in the morning so make sure you are there early...it has a bookshop attached to it which is great, however don't expect it to be like Borders where you can browse the books whilst you have a coffee, and dont expect the staff to be polite when you ask them if you are allowed to do so! Overall though, the chef was amazing and the surroundings are great.

Approximate cost: $20
