I actually don't rate the food that much, it's expensive and average.
This place is a rad catch up for a beer and a bar snack. The chips are my fav snack!
Service is good, friendly and quick!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for The beach shed, Dee Why NSW

This cafe is super cool in concept but could really do better in the way of service. coffee is probably the most important part of my day. If you can't serve a coffee with a smile... Why do you serve coffee? I have found staff here actually quite rude on occasion. This cafe is always packed, perhaps because it is the only cafe right on the beach. If you walk across the road at least you get free smiles with your coffee.

Approximate cost: $4

Best meat you can buy, sourced from ethical farms.
Owner is passionate about his business and sometimes has his special smoked bacon for sale - if you ask nicely you just might be lucky ;)
amazing rib eye steak
Also has a fridge of dog bones to purchase cheap!!

I took an obscure part of my broken machine in. Not only did they know exactly what it was, they were able to order the new part and explain how to fix it. You are also able to take your machine in to be serviced and they offer a fair price for this

This review is for Tokyo loco bowl, Crows Nest NSW

This is not your regular Japanese food establishment!
They do bowls of food... As the name suggests. Loco bowls!
The salads are my favourite. I like the misodare (so) tofu salad. Costs about $12 so good.
Service is awesome and quick.
They get busy but you can take away if no room to dine in.

Approximate cost: $12

These guys came recommended to me from a mate. They know what they are doing, they are happy to spend them time to explain and do not do unnecessary work. Friendly and reliable, service price is reasonable!!

The bees knees when it comes to coffee!! I totally rate the coffee service and price.
Bacon and egg roll is a decent size and for $7.50 the price is right...
They do amazing poached eggs and have good options for vegetarians!

Super friendly bunch of people.
The food is moderately priced, the breakfast menu is my favourite.
The kiosk downstairs is awesome too for a fly by coffee before after or during s beach visit. Really friendly staff that work there who make good coffee. Often fresh muffins available too!
Definitely stop in if you are in town!

This review is for East Ballina Bakery, East Ballina NSW

Really good selection and they take orders if you want something specific in the way of cakes and sweets or a large order for catering. Bunch of dudes really.
I really take my hat off to this mob because not only to they work long early hours, keep a neat and tidy well staffed and friendly shop in opperation but they were open on Christmas day... That actually blew me away a little.
They have a coffee window also which is so handy for when I'm walking my dawg... and i don't want to tie him up.
Coffee is cheap too and good!
