Excellent little place, tucked away at the end of the Hall Street shopping strip. Staff are excellent and the coffee is just short of sensational. Breakfast is the best time to go, as it's simply brilliant and tends to be less busy than its nearest competition. It's kid friendly as well, which given the area it's in is important.

Popular since it opened, the Pint of Milk is a great little place to go for breakfast or lunch. Great service, indoor and outdoor seating, and an excellent menu all combine to give you a great experience. Generous servings at not-crazy prices also help to make Pint of Milk a favourite.

Ordinary pie and pastry cafe that offers nothing really special. Service is good. The pies are ok but there's better in the area for cheaper. Has good in store seating and the coffee is ok, but there's not much more to say.

This review is for Sally's Tradies And Ladies Cafe, Beaconsfield Upper VIC

Was here the other day for lunch after helping a neighbour on his farm at Officer. Firstly, let me just say that the staff couldn't be friendlier. They are simply awesome. Secondly, the food is great! Yes there's the usual fried food on offer that you can get virtually anywhere, but Sally's has a lot more than that, especially the pies and burgers.
The pies are gourmet and very tast. The burgers...words can barely describe how good they are. The buns are sourdough bread, which is unusual and great. The most amazing burger is the "big ass" burger, which at $15 seems expensive but when you see it...oh my God! I'm not kidding when I say it could by itself just about feed a family of 4. It's MASSIVE! The bun is close to the size of a dinner plate.
If ever in Upper Beaconsfield give them a go. They are brilliant!

This review is for Laurent Bakery, Melbourne VIC

This place is AMAZING! Not only is its location second to none right in the heart of the CBD, but the goods that it has on offer are unbelievably tasty. Cakes, breads, savouries, sandwiches... all of it is just so good!
They bake all their own breads (so they say), so the loaves and rolls etc are always very fresh.
Prices are a bit steep-ish but the service is quick and when the food tastes this awesome you can forgive paying a couple of bucks more. Seating is both inside and outside (though pretty limited on the outside). A great place to meet for lunch or a coffee and a snack.

This review is for Grasshopper's Feast, Melbourne VIC

Down Causeway lane (between Bourke St Mall and Little Collins Street) you'll find Grasshoppers Feast - an attractive oasis of elegance right in the heart of town. The interior is, sadly, the best thing about it however. The food is over priced for what it is (not that its bad, its just not great). The service is satisfactory but little else. I've only eaten here the once, and I wouldnt be hesitant to eat here again, but only if there was little or no other option. And within 100 metres there are plenty of other options available.

So-so cafe in the heart of the city which is open for breakfast and lunch only. Great location and what looks like an excellent menu is let down by average food (not bad mind, just not wonderful), and service that is ok but not fantastic (to clarify - they were nice, just absent a lot). In an area where competition is very healthy its never going to be my first go-to place. Prices are competitive, but when the food and the service isnt, thats a worry.

This review is for Oz Rock, Sunshine VIC

Little shop across from the food court at Centro plaza. My kids dont mind it because the T shirts are cheap (about all it sells is T shirts). A fairly large number of designs are available, though the only brand that I was familiar with was Dickies. Shirts average between $10 and $20.

This review is for Kaz Denim, Sunshine VIC

Located in Centro Plaza, this store offers decent clothing at cheap prices. Primarily a T shirts and jeans shop, its prices are low and it caters more towards the youth market (that is, anyone under 30). The quality of their garments are at times a little suspect, but generally good.

This review is for Landingear, Williamstown VIC

Landingear provides excellent corporate and promotional clothing for clubs and businesses, and offers stencils, embroidery and transfer options. My club went the stencil option and we couldn't be happier. They do polo's, T shirts, workwear and hats amongst other things. Great local business that will continue to receive the support of me and my club moving forward.
