Good Price Pharmacy at Stafford is centrally located with parking out the front. They have a huge range of vitamins and helpful assistance to know what to buy. Pricing is excellent and very competitive. You can do your gift shopping there while picking up your prescriptions which they will also keep on file for you. Park at the back and walk up the rear entrance if you can't get a spot out front.

As I write this I'm sitting with a low fat Jett cappuccino at my side. The coffee is always spot-on and there are plenty of other delicious home made foods on offer. Jett has practically become a landmark at The Grange with Chermside St often packed with the cars of coffee-heads needing their fix. It's a meeting spot, a conversation hub and even a community resource as many businesses place their business cards on the provided table. Prices are higher than at other places but the coffee is well worth it for flavour and quality.

Approximate cost: $5.50

My family and I are regulars at The Stafford Tavern. I've also held around a dozen business lunches there for 10-20 people, plus I often hold client meetings in the restaurant. The staff are always friendly and obliging and the food is delicious. It's a great family venue and there's plenty to do (playground for kids, pokies/TAB for adults, Friday night meat tray raffles and so on). It has free, easy parking, is comfortable, welcoming and well decorated. Highly recommended.
