We had breakfast here this morning and arrived quite early (820am). Staff were friendly - not OTT - but pleasant.

We ordered coffee and breakfast and then we waited. Breakfast was a long time coming - not so long that we had to complain but there were plenty of people who had arrived after us and were eating.

The coffee was good and strong. The breakfast was tasty and a good size. Will def try this place again and hope we don't have to wait so long!

When we left at about 10am, the place was packed! Get there early if you want a choice of tables.

This review is for A J Blunt Painting Contractors Pty Ltd, Adelaide SA

I used these guys to paint my townhouse and while the finished product was exceptional - it is the attention to detail that was lacking.

I paid over $6500 for the interior of my townhouse (walls and trim) so I expected a certain level of detail. The end result was a failure to adhere to instructions (I requested a satin finish on my trim but got high gloss), part of the old paint started showing through after a door frame was scratched, paint was splattered on my stair handrail, light fittings were marked and dents in walls not properly fixed.

Approximate cost: $6,500

This review is for Bob Burns Blinds, St Marys SA

I had some new blinds installed (Verticals) in my townhouse and I am very happy with the blinds (now). Initally there was an issue with the length of some of the blinds - even after a check-measure was completed and also an issue with the cords (to adjust the blinds) as they had made them too short. All in all the blinds look great and work well. The price for my job was excellent.

This review is for Bakery Girls, Adelaide SA

Bakery Girls in Rundle Mall is a little hole in the wall store with outdoor/in the mall seating (tables, chairs and umbrellas). The service is friendly and the coffees were good. They also sell sandwiches, cakes, pastries, pies and wraps.

This review is for Single Rosetta Espresso Bar, Haberfield NSW

This place recently opened on Dalhausie Street. It used to be a doctors surgery but a little facelift and you have Haberfield's newest cafe.

Serving Campos coffee it is a new place to get a good cup of coffee. Admittedly I like my coffee to be less bitter than I received but it could have just been the barista on the day.

The service is friendly and menu limited but there is both indoor and outdoor dining with plenty of room for a pram!

They are open everyday so when your usual Habers cafe is closed then there is this place to go as a substitute - unless you make it your regular, then hoorah, you can get your coffee's anytime!

This is a nice cafe located on the pitt street mall level of the Westfield (under the Tower). The decor is fabulous and the service is good. Order and pay at the counter. They serve light meals, sweet treats and good coffee. Plenty of room to move around and park a pram if you need to.

It was my first time here and it was a great experience that I will definitely be returning. The food was tasty and spicy and delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient. The prices for the food were very reasonable.

I was with a group (selected our own dishes to eat) and I had the red duck curry ($16) Yummo!! but everything that everyone else ordered also looked so tasty. $4 for a can of coke is however a bit ridiculous. Next time I will stick to the water.

The place is big but does get extremely busy so best to make a booking if you are a large group. If you are on your own get takeaway and go to the food court or Hyde Park and eat out!

This review is for Cafe Buongiorno, Modbury SA

This is allegedly Australia's Best Cafe (Australian Small Business Champion Winner 2013). And while I wonder what the criteria is for this award, I must say that I have always received good and friendly service from this cafe.

Another example of Adelaide's "Order and Pay at the Counter" cafes, it does allow you to make up your mind and order in your own time.

I had a group breakfast here and it was well managed. Everyone's food came out around the same time even though ordering was staggered.

The food was tasty, plentiful and hot and the coffee good too. It is a large venue which is great for meeting groups of friends with plenty of indoor and outdoor dining.

It's kiddie friendly too with high chairs and change tables in the female bathrooms (not sure of the mens as I didnt go in there!)

It's located in the Tea Tree Plus part of the Westfield Shopping Centre.

This review is for Boat Deck Cafe and Pizzeria, Mawson Lakes SA

verified email - 28 Jan 2014

This is a large and busy cafe on the water at Mawson Lakes. It was a beautiful summer's day sitting by the water so the atmosphere was just brilliant. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food was delish and the coffee was just right.

The menu is quite large with plenty of choices - including wraps, foccacias, pizzas and pasta.

As with most cafes in Adelaide it's order and pay at the counter. With drinks being self-carry. The food was delivered in a reasonable time.

This review is for Bar Panini, Leichhardt NSW

A good little place to get a coffee. They have a good breakfast menu available and the portion sizes are good and filling.

There is indoor and outdoor seating but the smokers really take advantage outdoors which does spoil your meal.
