a nice little bakery that caters for local trade with a good selection of pies, pastries and cakes.
it's quality is testified to by the number of years it has been operating, and i have brought my bread rolls here for many years.
the product range is varied, and are always freshly baked that day
a good choice

A NICE LITTLE BOOKSHOP WITH A WIDE SELECTION OVER MANY TOPICS, AND IS A GREAT PLACE TO SPEND AN HOUR OR SO BROWSING THROUGH THE SHELVES.
A SELF CONFESSED BOOKAHOLIC, I AM ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THESE SORT OF SHOPS, AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A BOOK HERE THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THOROUGHLY

This review is for Tamworth Nursery, Tamworth NSW

A GREAT EXPERIENCE, MY VISIT TO THIS NURSERY WAS MOST REWARDING, AND WHILE I ONLY BOUGHT THE ONE ROSE BUSH, I COULD HAVE COME HOME WITH A BOOTFULL, AS THEIR CHOICE OF SHRUBS AND PLANTS WERE VERY 'TAKE ME HOMEISH
ONLY CHANCED ON THIS NURSERY WHILST PASSING THROUGH ON A FAMILY VISIT, BUT MY NEXT TIME IN TAMWORTH WILL DEFINITELY SEE ME COMING BACK FOR A BROUSE, AND I'M SURE GOING HOME WITH A TREAT FOR MY GARDEN

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Smithy's Brasserie, Engadine NSW

verified email - 13 May 2013

this was a bistro i visited regularly, and have always enjoyed a varied, tasty menu at acceptable prices, with a good choice of lunch time specials.
Going back after a year, I was looking forward to a nice lunch, but left rather deflated.
A

new chef has seen the menu changed considerably with the prices also increased.
A nicely printed menu gave a choice of new meal selections, and while my partner enjoyed her schnitzel, it would be fair to say it was very thinly sliced with a selection of mixed vegies.
I chose the roast beef for $19, big mistake and to say I was disapointed is an understatement.
What I got was a plate of stringy, fatty meat, covered in a gluggy looking gravy, and while the vegies were welcome, the meat left a lot to be desired.
Possibly a bad day in the kitchen, but for the prices you pay here, you deserve better

This review is for Alley Break, Cronulla NSW

verified email - 08 May 2013

A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE IN A GREAT LOCATION ON THE CRONULLA MALL.
A WELL PRESENTED COFFEE SHOP WITH AMPLE SEATING AND A GOOD MENU OF SNACKS, AND THE BEST COFFEE ON THE STRIP.
THE HOT CHOCOLATE IN ITSELF IS WORTH THE TRIP, CREAMY AND SMOOTH CHOCALATE AT ITS BEST.
I ALWAYS ENJOY A STOP OVER AT THE ALLEY BREAK AND IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO CATCH UP WITH FRIENDS

This review is for Scotts Florist, Sutherland NSW

verified email - 03 May 2013

had to organise a basket of flowers for a workmate who nwas retiring and scotts was recommended.
received good service and much needed advice as there were many choices of beautifully presented flowers in all sorts of different presentation forms to select from.
i took the advice of an attentive young lady and chose a mixed selection of fresh, colourful flowers that stood out in my eye, but i could have selected a dozen or more equally stunning dispalys.
flowers are one of natures greatest treasures, and this florist makes nature come alive.
i thoroughly recommend

This review is for Mischief Hair Design, Thirroul NSW

a nice atmosphere and up to date hair stylists make this a good choice for any body wanting a little pampering.
As with most women, i'm very finicky about my hair, and am rarely satisfied, but this salon gave me a cut i'm delighted with.
The colour i chose came out exactly as i had wanted, the style with plenty of life and bounce, and i left a very satisfied customer

This review is for Ritzy Pet Salon, Kangaroo Point NSW

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I PUT MY TIBETAN SPANIAL INTO THIS PET SALON FOR A TRIM AND A WASH AND I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE SATISFIED.
CAUGHT SHORT WHEN MY REGULAR PET GROOMER CLOSED HIS BUSINESS, I VISITED THIS BUSINESS ON THE RECOMENDATION OF A FRIEND, AND WAS SURPRISED AT THE CARE AND ATTENTION THEY GAVE MY DOG.
HE CAME HOME LOOKING AND SMELLING LIKE NEW, AND THIS IS A BUSINESS I WILL UTILISE NEXT TIME I HAVE TO SPRUCE UP THE POOCH

Approximate cost: $65

This review is for Taco Bill Mexican Restaurant, Echuca VIC

verified email - 20 Apr 2013

went to this echuca favourite a few weeks ago and had a ball.
great atmosphere, great service and a great array of mexican favourites.
Located just up the road from the historic ports precinct with plenty of parking,
Not sure of the opening hours, as it was shut on a monday and tuesday last time i passed.
TASTED THE BEAN DIP AND IT WAS SENSATION
aLSO HAD A GREAT CHILI CON CARNE DISH [very spicy], and while i didn't choose a dessert due to the size of the first two courses, there seemed a good selection.
Big courses of very tasty choices served up at a reasonable price, with good service and a very pleasent setting,
What more would you want

Approximate cost: $18
