Went here with hubby today; he shops here regularly. As a part of his private health insurance he gets membership to National Pharmacies which is a huge saving. Great range of products, though it would be good to see some more cruelty-free products (free of animal testing). Parking can be an issue.

Never thought I would shop in a meat store, but this store has a great variety of risotto rices and pasta. Unfortunately they had run out of chicken necks and bones (for the dogs) today, but I was able to buy lentils, tomatoes, pine nuts and rice.

Bought 4 packets of nuts today for $28. This will last for a month or two, so well worth it for a vegan! Good selection with salted/roasted/sugared nuts for those who wish to indulge, or raw nuts for those who try to be healthy. Large range, worth a look!

Great window display, so went in to have a good look! The owner is lovely and very helpful. Lovely range of items (would love to see less leather items of course), with great clothes and lots of funky accessories. Good parking and a cool little street to have a boutique in.

Amazing service from the team at Cardone's; we were so impressed. Hubby had pork chops and loved them and I ordered gnocchi with a napolitana sauce as there was not a vegan option (as expected). Meals were beautiful, all service staff were polite and friendly. Book ahead though, as it can't be difficult to get a table. Worth a visit for a special occasion.

Approximate cost: $25

Really great to see a small business that endeavors to stock Australian-made clothing (such a rarity these days). Good service, plenty of staff and lots of variety amongst their stock. I attended as part of a charity afternoon and was really impressed with this place; a credit to the owner and staff. Would prefer not to see leather bags on sale, but lovely pleather (vinyl) clothing available.

What a fabulous little shop! Berridges mainly caters for the over 50s lady, but they have lots of colour in their range and a great selection for a smallish shop. The owner/manager was lovely and very helpful; I would recommend any woman to pop in and have a look!

What a great little find! Spacious cafe/restaurant with a decent brekky menu. The home-made baked beans plus potato and quinoa rosti was divine! Quick and attentive service, cool decor and decent bathrooms. Only opened in December but well worth a visit!

A beautiful little shop front on King William Road (near Lars cafe). The minute you walk in you start to feel relaxed! Friendly service and a good range of products for sale should you wish to purchase something to take home with you. I would like to see those products accredited by Choose Cruelty Free. A pleasant find.

The couple that run this business also have a 'fundraising' arm of the business where they will put on a fashion show for a charity to raise money. Annemarie is very talented at putting amazing outfits together; she has a great eye for colour and clothing. One of the outfits she showed had rabbit fur which disappointed me greatly, but there were many other cruelty-free garments to choose from. Good value and something different.
