i enjoy having the convenience of having an Avon catalouge delivered to my door, i can browse through at my own leisure without having a pushy sales person on my back. if i have any questions about any products i can just ring either my local distributor or avon customer service and they are always friendly and pleased to answer any questions i may have. i find the products to be value for money and of very good quality.

i recieved fantastic, friendly service here. as a person who knows nothing about wine i actually came out a little bit wiser. wendy, the proprietor is a wonderful lady who is very knowledgable and willing to help you in any way she can. the range of local wines was amazing, and they dont only sell wine, you can also find tasty ports and liquors such as a beautiful honey liquor, and a yummy chocolate port!! they also have a large range of cheeses, dried fruits and olive oils available and if your looking for something different why not give the lavender range a go? it includes a herbal tea that is to die for!!! id definitely recomend not leaving this fantastic place off your list next time your in birdwood, you wont be disappointed.

cafe blumberg has an amazing menu selection which is 90 percent homemade. i could not find this in any other cafe in the area. the staff are fantastic! they are friendly and willing to help you in any way they can. if you cant find something on the menu, or you wish to 'chop and change 'anything cafe blumberg is only to willing to meet your needs. they are open from 7 am in the morning which is perfect if u want to grab a beautiful crivelli coffee on the way to work and/ or a hot and tasty bacon and egg roll with homemade garlic butter if you wish. a note on the coffee - cafe blumberg is only 1 of 3 places you can get this coffee in s.a now. they import it in from melbourne just so they know they are serving their customers with one of the only coffees to have won awards in sydney every year. I recommend you give cafe blumberg a go you will not be disappointed.
