I love reading what people have to say about business and putting my input also. It's fantastic to be rewarded for your opinion. I will always go on here :)

Our kitchen table is a gorgeous little gem. It's local to me and a place that I often go to with friends just for a coffee and a nibble. I love the coffee, it's always consistent and not burnt (my pet hate). I would reccomend for a light bruch or snack.

Approximate cost: $10+

This is our local bakery. They make EVERYTHING! and I do mean, everything. They have the most amazing pies (awesome chicken pie and my partner loves the cauliflower cheese pie)
The sweets are also beautiful. Everything is always fresh, you can get a sandwich made on site too.
the staff are gorgeous and friendly and the coffee isn't too bad also.

This little bakery is in a great location (right near caulfield station and coles) I often go to Caulfield coles to do my shopping, and can not past by this bakery without getting one of their chicken pies, they are really nice.
I find that their pastries do not look appetising, nor does most of their bread. However I have not tried.

Approximate cost: $2.50+

One of my favourite pastries are found here.. the poppyseed danish!! They make the best pastries EVER, always so fresh and moist. I highly reccomend it!

I have got take away greek cakes from here many times before (mind you, have not for a while)
I went for a coffee and cake with a friend about 2 weeks ago and I ordered a fruit tart and was very dissapointed. The pasrty was extremely hard, the custard tasted like gluggy flour and the fruit was as if it had been sitting there for days. I brought some macaroons home, and was delighted with those, however they are not even made on premisis.
I know that the biscutes are good quality, but am left unsure of the quality of cakes after my most recent experience.

I have been here a couple of times, both times sat outside on the deck and eaten dinner. The food is pretty good, but the place lacks customer service. The staff are not very friendly and act like the are only there because they have to be. I would try it out again, but not in a hurry.

Approximate cost: $20-30

Aunties dumplings has become a local favourite on my side of town. I heard about it from some friends, and just had to try it. Walking in, you wonder what you're doing in a place like this, but once you look around the room and see all the people digging into their food, you have hope again.
You are served water in plastic cups and the staff do not really understand english so you find it easier to order by number. The pan friend pork dumpling is nothing less than beautiful. There are a dozen varieties of dumplings to choose from and then some mains such as noodles, soups and rice dishes. We always get the pan friend pork and mix itup with another variety and just share. The chicken and prawn is also yum! I have been many times and taken friends and family there for an extremely CHEAP eat.

Approximate cost: $8-15

This is a great place for a quick, satisfying asian meal (dumpling fix in my case) I have dined here about a dozen times, both for lunch and dinner, I must say I only even order the dumplings and some small dishes, I have never ordered the main meals. The soup dumplings are amazing. You have to pop them into your mouth whole and let the soup ooze out. YUM! They also do a delicious spring onion pancake - delicious with some chilli! The steamed dumplings and pan friend dumplings are also fantastic. So much to choose from, but I must admit, I always stick to the same :)

Approximate cost: $10-20

Dined here for a late dinner on a saturday night. First thing, the plastic chairs were very uncomfortable to sit on for two hours. The food was pretty good. We had a few entrees and shared a main with a side of veggies and salad.
Of the entrees the son-in-law eggs were my favourite. They were absolutely perfect, I popped the whole egg in my mouth with some of the chilli jam that was with is, and it exploded in my mouth. YUM! we also had the lettuce cups which i found the filling to be far too acidy. The soft shell crab was good, as were the dumplings. The main we ordered was a whole baby snapper, it came out presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. I would go back to try some different things, the staff were very nice and helpful, the atmosphere was nice too.
