I did a flying visit but wish to come back here. I just wanted a take away egg roll. I passed by the sit down crowd at 9.30am. The side shelves were full of really interesting foods in jars and packs. Some people set up a business and some people set up to share their passion. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE LATTER. The appeal of this place is wide. I checked the web site and amongst other things they do hampers and you choose. I am impressed but my experience is limited but it seems that the gourmet world feels very positive about this place by the look of the reviews. I was delighted but a bit surprised to see the shops position considering the quality. Deserves a beautiful back drop in my opinion but I will go back to taste more

This review is for Magnolia Home And Gift, East Gosford NSW

LOVELY little store with a good selection to choose from of gifts for that special someone or to spoil yourself. Jewellery designs from African continent, modern. French feel and prices that to me need to drop by 10% to gain some real sales but the candles throws boxes pillows bags and jewellery have a lot of appeal and the young lady servicing this place is a gem. Really enjoyed the visit

Most impressed. A small shop run by a couple who have thought much about the menu and the quality of their fare. GOURMET is a good word for them but so reasonable in price and OH so good in servicing. Had a quiche of good size with spinach and cheese, another with bacon and cheese and chive($4) and a vegetarian pie with sweet potato carrot spinach and peas. ($4.70)- A beautiful chocolate macaroon for $2.70 each and a real meat sausage roll for $3.20 -Sourdoughs and specialty cakes. Catering for business lunches. The pastries in the hot goods was excellent. Light almost fillo but home made and not heavy, home tasty with the real flavour of the goods uses. Really impressive as I said. A few sit down places available and parking out the front

This review is for Budget Petrol/convenience Store, Dulwich Hill NSW

This is an easy drive in petrol stop before you head off to the city. Easy in and easy out before big traffic and awkward moving in and out of traffic. I have an old car needing unleaded without ethanol. The BIG boys serve 95% octane not 91% like the little fellows. I am sure the one percent difference at times is border line re; the performance of my car and the build up in the injectors. I watch very closely to see if troubles begin from each servo I use. TO this point I have had no trouble with this BUDGET supplier and efficient service at the payer point

This review is for RSL GOULBURN, Goulburn NSW

Met my friend halfway between Canberra and Sydney to have lunch and chose this for the hush as a lot of cafes are very busy from bus/coaches stopping over for lunch. There was a bright bistro comfortable area overlooking the park for us to sit at. Had to go to the counter to order but food was delivered hot and quickly. I would not say my steak was medium rare and probably rump not a fillet but the chips were big and crisp and the salad normal. $14.50. My friend had a past cabonara and found it a bit sloppy but edible. $12. The Paragon over the road is better in the food dept but the noise and busy pace there turns me back to this quieter spot

This review is for Harris Farm Markets, Bathurst NSW

When heading back to the previous abode we always indulge in some new recipes wth the local produce found in Harris Farm. MEAT GOURMET DELI and GOURMET GROCERY ITEMS eg; pasta;s sauces and frozen fish as well as the FRUIT and VEG which is sourced locally many times in season. I love the cheese array and the service is always helpful.

This review is for Winmalee Seafood, Winmalee NSW

Fresh as; I received some from a friend for a special dinner. Went back twice now when I visit this friend to get this shops offerings. I find this to be better than the fish markets sometimes and much more approachable in communications re; the seafood age and source. For something so out of the way this is a jewell for sea food lovers. Only wish they could cook it as well as provide such fresh goods. Try it you will not be disappointed and the cost of parking at the fish markets will cover the extra pennies you pay here

This review is for The Cat's Meow, Leura NSW

I found them in magazines of some note; I loved the lounge suite offered in the magazine of rich brown tones in deep strong materials so as I went over the mts decided to give them a look. WOW?. I am not able to afford their furniture or most of their goods but it is so beautiful to see quality before your eyes and an understanding of colours and setting for your desired pieces that make a house a home. If I did want to deal with a makeover I would investigate this shop and those that fill it. I talked to a woman who has years of experience and is not so caught up in her own world that she cannot hear my thoughts. I really enjoyed this shop even if I did not buy

This review is for Blackheath Fish Shop, Blackheath NSW

The spot is just right for catching your attention as you pass to or from your journey over the mts. CLEAN, quick, price acceptable service efficient. I just wish they had some creative new ideas about products like a hot fish curry and rice or a fish soup of some kind to broaden the appeal but a good stopover to stop the hunger pains on a long journey

This review is for IGA BEXLEY, Bexley NSW

verified email - 09 Aug 2012

Fresh clean not too small so that you only find a tiny selection. Middle size IGA and fruit and veg has been kind to me over the 5 times I have entered this store. I am sick of BIG grocery places where I have to walk a mile to get one thing. I would like that service people give some more smiles but this is a business that services well overall the community and provides specials and prices that keep you coming back especially if the parking is available which it is not between 3pm and 7 pm but behind the store is parking at all times
