Great little place for lunch. It's clean, the staff are friendly, food is reasonably priced and there's a good selection of dishes to choose from. They take cash or card, and service is fast.

A great little cinema off the beaten track - at the back of the Pinewood shopping centre. The prices are cheap for just about all sessions, with bargain basement prices on weekday mornings. All movies showing are recent releases, though not always the absolutelatest. They serve tea & coffee, plus choctops, lollies and popcorn.

Great coffee that's competitively priced. And you get a frequent customer card - buy 5 then get one regular-sized coffee free! They have a great range of cakes, slices, sandwiches and wraps, and a good selection of freshly-made juices.

These guys are fantastic and do such good work - I cannot say enough positive words about them. The Blackburn Sth op shop has a great selection of items, really friendly staff and excellent prices. It's easy to find a bargain. The shelter does wonderful work for unwanted and abandoned animals, and everyone there is warm, loving and adores animals. Awesome people.

Oh my God - the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. It's a bit more costly than Richmond (this is Glen Waverley), but the menu is awesome. They also have a good range of wine/beer, and of course, delicious tea. Their rice paper rolls are fantastic.

Lovely staff, great food, good coffee, prompt service - all adds up to a positive dining experience. I love to support local small business, and am always happy to support these guys. They do a great 2-for-1 coffee offer on shop-a-dockets, so keep an eye out for that.

Excellent electrical work done rewiring our house. Very thorough, and they came when they said they would. Full certificate given, and we trust their work having used them several times. Would recommend them to anyone. Great company.
