Cafe Clarita has the most scrumptious handmade spring rolls! There are also Philippino meals which change daily, as well as the usual takeaways - my husband's favourite is the bacon and egg sandwich! The service is friendly and efficient and if you like quality cakes and biscuits, this is the place for you! Clarita makes delicious German cakes.

To top it all off, Clarita has local art works on the walls, which make the cafe a delight to visit! And they are for sale, for those who want to own one. It is a bright, airy atmosphere and spotlessly clean.

Stop in and have a coffee or your choice of teas, or a meal. Mains are about $10, coffee or tea and raisin toast about $5.

I had a car run into the back of my car at a red light. The damage was far worse than I expected, and the boot wouldn't close. The staff at Rosemount Smash Repairs were so accommodating and had the damage fixed very quickly so I could use my car again. It was only off the road for about 4 days all up. Thanks to such professional service!

The bistro here is a top spot to eat. The specials are really good value and the range of items on the menu makes choosing very difficult. We eat here regularly, and you can get those Hot Docket vouchers (either on the back of a supermarket docket or off the website) where you get a meal for $5 with any meal off the regular menu. Terrific saving!

This is one of the best places to eat on this part of the Sunshine Coast. We had the most amazing Whole Crispy-skin Fish, Thai style for a mere $25!! And it was superb! They do a wonderful Smoked Salmon and Pappadom Stack, too which is worth the visit. It isn't silver service, but the food is.

A friend and I often go here for coffee and a nibble of something sweet. The view over the golf course is so tranquil - it is a great spot to relax. I haven't been for a meal, but the range on the menu looks pretty good. And they have specails on certain nights - Grills on Friday nights for $17.50, and Noodle Night on Wednesdays for only $12.50.

Allan, Sue and their team have a wonderful but firm handle on dealing with all the people in their classes. They offer adult as well as child classes in a number of different sites around the Sunshine Coast. Allan is passionate about what they do, with the young people, especially. A great service to the community.

Some great cutters here and lovely friendly atmosphere. You always get a cup of tea or coffee, and everyone likes a chat, so you find out who is going where on holidays etc! Makes the appointment very pleasant.

Wonderful gelato flavours! So smooth and tasty, with a rather lovely wall of information about gelato.

The miso soup they make here is scrumptious! I have one every time I am up there. Lots of great sushi too, especially the one they have called "Decadent" - prawns and avocado - what more could you want? The Thai rice paper rolls are terrific, too. And you should see the platters! I haven't bought one, but they look fantastic. Great for a party.

Rose is a great masseur, with really strong hands, so she gets into trigger spots VERY effectively! She has a gentle nature and is always obliging to try to fit clients in at times which suit.
