Have been to this new shop 3 times now and am duly pleased. Good parking just outside the shop, fair prices, even lower and comparable with Harris Farm and a lovely deli selection, well kept and cheeses that meet the pallates need. The service is pleasant and quick. This is a decisively Italian orientated shop but the selection of dairy- dried - spices - condements biscuits and nuts makes this a good all round shopping facility in an easy to get to area. Give them a try. Organic lovers might not be so happy but for families this is good value.

I rang to get quotes for my dirty car. The interior needed some real attention.Upholstry cleaning was the major for me and the quotes went from $149 to $280. I was confused because a lot of car wash places do not do upholstry except for pouring water and chemicals onto your car seats and floors. I called car detailers to ask them what they did. I spoke to TONY at Crown Car wash and he explained what and how things were to be done and quoted me $170 for all inner floors and seats to be shampooed, an engine wash, and an external clean of my old old car. He did say that it might take 2 1/2 hrs but ended up being 4 hrs waiting. I was offered free cold water bottle and had a cafe with limited goods to keep me over this time. The attention to detail by th team was exceptional. I was not a high priority but I did not indicate that I wanted preference and other car dealers came in with thier cars so I was pushed back, but in the end a very difficult job was superbly dealth with. TONY takes a lot of pride in his work. He has trained his boys well and I would go back with confidence.

Approximate cost: $170

New to the area. Stopped in for a mid week lunch. Service was quick friendly and courteous and professional. Ordered Honey King Prawns $15.20- homemade spring rolls 4 small for $4.20- speical fried rice $8.00. Spring rolls as good as you can find. Spinach cabbage carrot and gentlle and well done in a fresh oil that did not demean the taste buds. Honey king prawns was a generous size for two people with real honey not watered down but gentle, the batter not soggy and presentation to keep them crisp was sensitive. The special fried rice was with 6 king prawns and a gentle flavour and the rice well cooked. So, my first experience has been more than good and will go to sit in next time and see what happens but am confident that this place will have a future as the area is abounding with little specialised restaurants and the foodies are coming back. I received a 10% discount for pick up. Deliver is free on certain nights if your order is over $25 and $3 extra for pubic holidays and they take eftpos. Worth a try on your taste buds.

This review is for Lululemon, Bondi Junction NSW

This is a shock because I have been dealth well, very well by every all other shops of Lululemon, all 4 of them. I asked for a certain item, scuba hoodie in a colour and saw it and asked to have that one but they wanted to go out the back and see and then told me that they could not get stock into the store if it was not there. The colour was the issue and in the first instance I had to attract the attention of employees talking amongst themselves and paying no attention to my need as a customer. This left me flat and not willing to entertain coming back to this store.

Filled my basket with wrapping paper as the season of season approaches but sick of paying $7 for one sheet so got lots of rolls of just practical gift wrapping stuff and found what I wanted for 1 / 4 of the price. You get lost in this place but glad to park and fill the basket and get out of a place fast. Lots of goodies for parties and kids gifts and storage supplies.

Breakfast at 10.30 and super busy. Service was fast non the less. $14.50 for eggs benedict with ham and two hash browns, banana smoothie, $4.50 and good. Seating cramped but comfortable and food was fresh and well cooked. Not a private place for that quiet moment but good value in my opinion.

I looked in the catalogue, decided to buy grandson some lego and a money box both advertised as being in most stores. Arrived, no sign of staff let alone toys. Was told they did not carry these items. Kind ladies offered to ring city store to have them keep these items for daughter to pick up. On phone for 22 min and no one answered. Gave them my number to ring me when they got an answer. Have not heard back from them at all today. Got home rang the city store myself and after 4 4 minutes waiting hung up. The lady in Roselands rang before lunch hour and I rang after the 2pm panice lunch hours just so staff might be better placed. Got daughter to go into store at 6pm tonight and found the goods. I also rang the online service number to be told that I could make a complaint but it took 48 hrs to go through and I needed these items by sat morning. NO GO. That is how you turn people onto ON LINE TRADING. IF you are in a hurry like me to have things in hand then this is NOT HOW YOU HANDLE THINGS when people present. I found what staff were at hand to be polite and helpful but it was a NO HOPE situation getting what I wanted without an awful lot of fuss

This review is for Salvatores Bake House Cafe, Earlwood NSW

Before all the others came on the scene this family run business provided the coffee for the area. Definitely Italian run by mum and the boys, a bit of bakery to fill the plate and hamburgers sandwiches chips for the quick lunch. Really only open for the late breakfast eaters and lunch and closed down by 3ish so far as cooking is concerned but always happy thoughtful service and a good brew. Inside is simple not elegant but for that one on the run or a take away then you will get honest food at a decent price and good coffee to boot say my friends. Parking available but steps upon entry (2)

Met with a friend here at this relatively new cafe for two hours. We just had a green tea and my friend had a cappa without the caffiene. We had a nice person pay for us and we do not know who so my info is a bit spartan. I would like to say that these cafe's are springing up all over Earlwood and this one has some offering of car space at hand sometimes. My pot of green tea filled the cup 4 times and then some. We were left alone in a quiet area for the whole two hours and the only comment that I can give is that it was quiet enough to talk well and be heard and the traffic noise was minimal. The service was excellent but would like to see some more colour in the place on the walls. Seating was basket weave chair and felt a bit stick to you but generally, while not trying any food, I would come back with a group for it has room for such and for wheelchairs and an outdoor area for those lovely warm moments. I enjoyed this but cannot offer much for the cake and coffee lovers yet.

You don't have to ask questions because what you see is what you get. I like asking to learn about my seafood. The origin, when it came to them, how long it will keep and how to cook it best? I lived down that way and much preferred them to the Sydney markets which I now live near. My visit on sat; last was just as good an experience as all those years ago. Great variety and worth the time it takes to get served at busy times. Refreshing place to go for your seafood
