This cafe promises much but delivers so little. The service is absolutely appalling. I have been there numerous times with different people and have always had the same experience... BAD SERVICE. I cannot rate the service poorly enough. The waietrs behave as though one is interrupting their day. They are churlish, arrogant and abrupt. The functionality of ordering and paying etc is ridiculous and not clearly organised. My mothers group was going there regularly and we have stopped now due to the shocking service.

This pool is one of the best around for children. Whilst studying I taught swimming there many years ago and ince having 2 children I have been a regular there for their swims. As far as children go the pool is certianly one of the best I have been in in Melbourne. The adventure playground within the baby pool is great for developing their confidence in a fun environment. Whilst the hydro pool is warm enough for the littlies to be able to stay in the pool before hypothermia sets in. Fantastic place.

Approximate cost: $3.50 for a baby swim pare

This store has everything you could want for the baby and children as far as clothing goes. They stock one of the best ranges of petit bateau I have found. They are also very good with exchanges when I have received gitfs for my daughters that did not fit or were not quite right for whatever reason. The only issue is that they are overpriced on a number of their items that are less elsewhere.

Beware.........the guy who runs this store is more enthusiastic than a real estate agent. As you enter the store he pounces upon you badgering you to buy a product, any product. I was there just looking and he would not leave me alone even after my best efforts to dissuade him from bothering me. I have not heard of anyone having a good experience in there because of his over zealousness. My friend was in the store yesterday to purchase a specific bike. As she was purchasing it he suggested she purchase 2 bikes. My mum had to purchase something just to get out of the store.

aviv is great for all of our bakery treats not to mention Jewish fare. The only issue is that it can be totally hectic and there is very little parking. Some customers can be a little pushy. But staff are very speedy and friendly

they cut my daughters hair crookedly and when I returned to tell them they argued that it was due to uneven hair growth. Thought I would allow them to rectify the problem but they cut her hair again unevenly.

Approximate cost: $17
