I went there for coffee and the coffee was good. We sat outside and had to put up with smokers. Pleasant location some of the staff seemed to struggle and perhaps were inexperienced or need training.

Good basic Italian food. The food was well prepared and quite tasty. The serving size was very generous. The service was inconsistent and undisciplined. There were two front of house staff they seemed to have time to chat but there were tables that had not been cleared away or wiped clean. There were dirty dishes that sat on the bar for at least ten minutes while the two staff chatted. There were tables with dirty dishes on them even though the staff wanted to clear our plates before some people had finished eating. Then we put the dirty dished at the end of the table and the person clearing the table decided not to return for another 15 minutes. There was no attempt to engage with the customers or to try and sell desert or coffee.

This business has changed hands the cooking is good and the food nice However the serves now are quite small a small box for over $10.00 seems quite a price increase.

Good quality meat that is moderately priced the service on the checkout on this day was very slow. Having other staff members standing around watching people waiting to pay did not help.

This review is for Home Grain Bakery, Aldinga SA

High prices for average products. This bakery is located just off South Road at Aldinga. On entering the bakery I thought the bread looked pale and under-baked and the pastries were covered in a glaze that gave then a dark appearance. However my wife was keen to buy something so she purchased a spinach triangle. She asked about crusty bread and was guided to the white sour-dough.

On asking other questions the staff refused to answer then but instead referred to an “award” they had won. I found this rude an belittling. The pastry was quite nice but the bread was heavy and leathery and soft. The bread was not at all nice.

The woman who served us did not observe food hygiene in the she was handing money and food with her bare hands.

We had to ask for a bag to put the bread in.

We have purchased several appliances here over the years. Their prices seem good especially if you are prepared to haggle or have a better price from another supplier.

Like all Dan Murphys it is a clean and bright shop that is well stocked seems to have a wide range of products covering most price points. The staff were pleasant and polite and happy to help with any enquiries.

This review is for Carnevale Coffee Roasters, Clarence Park SA

This is a new business the staff seem keen and enthusiastic. When I visited the business it seemed not completely set up the décor was rustic with mismatched furniture and the coffee roaster was not fitted yet. The coffee was nice but being able to ad your own sugar would have been nice. The coffee was served in takeaway cups even though we sat in the shop to drink our coffee.

Approximate cost: $3.00
