This review is for Naturally On High, Thornbury VIC

verified email - 17 May 2012

I have been a customer of Naturally on High for many years.
I have used them for bulk whole foods, organic, grain and nut produce. The have an interesting range of whole foods, coffee and nuts with a Mediteranean leaning, recently expanding to the shop next door with organic fruit and vegetables, wholistic products and a 'cafe'.
On the whole I have found the quality of their produce excellent.
My only criticism being that the shop is so full of products that getting in, around, being served and getting out again is like going to a celebrity pop concert!! When they expanded I and others I know who frequent the store hoped they would provide for a little more shopper space but the expansion extended to the new organic fresh produce/holistic remedies and cafe.
I have changed the way I shop there and now only go in there once a month and avoid going in at the peak times (which are the latter part of the week and Saturdays) or leave a list and come back later which they don't seem to mind.

This review is for Dean's Picture Framing, Thornbury VIC

I have used Maurizio several times for framing certificates and artwork. His prices are very reasonable (I had occasion to get him to replicate the framing of a certificate which cost me $90 elsewhere for which he did a better job and charged me only $60. He is a very helpful and warm business man and has helped me with recommendations for each picture I have taken to him, making choice and decisions so much easier. I have always been very happy with the results. He has even helped me out above and beyond his profession with support for a show I was working on (for which I reimbursed him).

I have more work for him to do!

Approximate cost: $varies depending on job

This review is for Bell Optometrists, Coburg VIC

I have been going to Julian Knott at Bell Optometrists for some time briefly being lured away by 'exclusive deals' by a chain optometrist. There is no substitution for the warmth, efficiency and professionalism of this small practice. Mr Knott has always been open, honest willing to listen and offer metred advice in regard to all my needs. He is compassionate, convivial and jovial always making a visit relaxed and informative. His receptionist is welcoming, warm and friendly. So glad to be back!!
