I love their subway salad bowls. And their pickles. Always have to get extra pickles and the Southwest Sauce. I recommend this for anyone who loves their greens

Their chips are really yummy with the perri perri seasoning.....mmmmm. I haven't actually ever had anything else there but when I'm in the mood for some hot chips with dippy dippy sauce Nando's is the place to go.

So friendly. I was made to feel very welcome, beautiful fresh flowers that I found to be quite affordable. I am very happy with the arranging style and designs of this florist. I always use them when I have to send flowers and they can send it anywhere as they are part of Interflora.

Approximate cost: $Arrangements start from $35

This review is for World For Pets RSPCA Super Store, Springwood QLD

They have a huge range of products to chose from for all your animal friends. Also they are owned by the RSPCA so you know that you are purchasing products that are animal friendly and to top it all off proceeds from all sales go to help all creatures great and small in the care of the RSPCA. I got my feline friend some toys, cat nip and a special shampoo for his sensitive skin which is really hard to find. They don't actually have real life animals from memory but then you can always visit the shelter near my place on Venner Road in Fairfield to adopt a new friend. I have to say that RSPCA World for Pets has the largest range of pet products I have ever seen under the one roof and believe me as a major animal freak I go to at least 1 pet shop a week to see what they have. This is the one to go to. They have the best price on Revolution for cats. Check it out.

Approximate cost: $Depends on what you are buying, shampoo was $10- worth every cent.

This review is for Gloria Jean's Coffees, Carindale QLD

I love Gloria Jeans Coffees. I could drink them all day every day. Sometimes though I feel that the coffee is not hot enough because they insist on measuring the temperature of the milk with a thermometer so they don't burn it. But because they heat the milk in a metal jug the jug heats up and stays hot even if the milk isn't and the thermometer takes a wrong reading because its touching the metal jugs side. So you get cold coffee.

Approximate cost: $5.00 large take away latte

This review is for The Coffee Club, Carindale QLD

I really like their caramel lattes. The caramel syrup they use has a distinct flavour that really agrees with me. Yummy. It's quite nice at this particular Coffee Club, there are lounges as well as tables so if you wish you can recline while enjoying their fabulous coffee. Also its nice and clean which is really important to me.

Approximate cost: $Large Caramel Latte $4.00

This review is for Michel's Patisserie, Dutton Park QLD

They do my Saturday morning coffee for me at work. The caramel latte is great. They can be a little slow in getting it ready. I sometimes wonder if they are still roasting the beans out the back because they take for ever. The coffee however is usually nice as long as Joseph makes it. He's the owner and can make a great brew, but his staff need retraining.

Approximate cost: $Large Caramel Latte $4.80

This review is for Luv-a-Coffee, Woolloongabba QLD

It's not bad but it's not good either. Their coffee is great as long as Vince the owner makes it. Otherwise it can all go a little pear shaped. Just goes to show it's not the coffee but the person making the coffee that is really important. A bad barista can ruin a fabulous grind.

Approximate cost: $4.00 for a latte

The owner Poon-Pin Lai is great. I take special medicines and he is always happy to order them in for me. The service is always fast and friendly and I love the fact that I am remembered by the owner and his staff and made to feel very welcome. They are a great team.
