We heard that this place was under new management so we popped in to try their new food. The place is clean, but very empty too. Only about 5 people were eating at the cafe, but it could probably sit 10+ times the amount. We ordered a pizza at the counter. We were asked what flavour we wanted, but without telling us what flavours were available (we had to ask). We then ordered the meatlovers. And then we were left standing at the counter until the pizza was ready, which was about 10 minutes. They could have at least sitted us and left one of those number stands at our table. But at least they were friendly. We were then given a pizza and we sat ourselves down. The cheese was barely melted on the top and the base was burnt. The sauce tasted very artificial and the pizza felt like one of those frozen ones you can get from the supermarket. I can make better myself! Not worth the money and it put me off the cakes and desserts at the front of the store (they actually do look nice at least). Will not go back again.

It is a busy place. Managed to get a table for four without booking, but waited 10-15 minutes. Mains took about half an hour to come out. I had a veal schnitzel ($22). It was a HUGE proportion that came with a salad and chips. The veal was bland, but nicely crumbed. The salad had no dressing as far as I could tell and the chips didn't seem seasoned. Took ages to get the bill. Asked the waiter and after five minutes, we had to ask again. After another five minutes, we managed to get our bill. In all, ok food that is priced well but service needs a lot of improvement.

This is a great little cafe. Very small and quaint. Lots of wooden textures, small tables and unusual sitting, The open kitchen design is very welcoming and it is nice to see the people there cook. We went there around 3.40pm, but were not given menus. The waiter listed what was available and it was a little frustrating having to remember what we could order. We had a croissant, blueberry and zucchini muffin, and a chai latte. The croissant looked really dry and cutting into it looked a bit dry. But it was very buttery and so very nice. The muffin was okay, the zucchini added no flavour to the muffin. Texture was okay. I highly recommended the chai. It had a lot of spices added to it. A bit different to the chai available in other cafes, but I think it is so much nicer because of its spicy-ness. Overall, a bit on the expensive side, a nice cafe with a nice atmosphere.

It is a good site. It does take a while to build up enough points. However, I have been getting more surveys recently and the website has had its layout updated too, so hopefully things are on the up and up. Various gift card options are available, like Myer, Bunnings and an EPFTOS card as well. No paypal however or bank deposit. At point for $, it is best to save up your points as the bigger rewards ($50-$100) get cheaper in terms of points than the smaller rewards ($20). I recommend the site.

A good survey panel website. A variety of gift card options (including Myer) valued between $20-$30, movie tickets and bank deposit is available too. They use to have Paypal, but not anymore but they may re-introduce in the future. Surveys are regular, points for viewing emails/signing up for offers and for shopping as well. Overall, a very good site I recommend.

I've been in a couple of times. A small shop (probably the same size as the average bedroom), but tidy and neat. Helpful staff.

Unfortunately, I did have a bad experience with them. I took in my power adapter as it had become faulty. I gave it to the staff member and he told me that it would be back in less than a week. However, the staff member never submitted my warranty claim and never sent my power adapter in for repairs. I came back a week and a half later and they gave me a new one on the spot, and apologised for what happened (that staff member has since left, so service shouldn't be a problem still I hope). I love the MAC1 stores and I hope that staff member was just a rotten apple amongst other good ones. I still recommend them and I still prefer them to Next Byte, which is down the street and around the corner from them.

A great shopping experience. I got my two mac products from there and the staff were great. I pre-order my product with ease and they called me when it was ready to pick-up. They were friendly. Very clean store too. They keep your details in the system so when you have warranty issues in a different city (like I did) I could go in (the Hobart store) and they already had the details :) Good store and good company overall.

A good survey panel. I get screened out of most surveys I try to do, and I do wish that they have more options apart from the bank deposit and music options. But apart from that, service is good and their social network sites are active. They seem to be very in touch with their panelists.

A great place for Thai! It was a bit empty (only one table seated) on a Wednesday night and easily seated a party of 8 without reservation. We shared the dishes - really good curries and the duck-based dishes were really good as well. Friendly service too.

Really good. They have an AMAZING range of flavours that change every Tuesday. A bit on the pricey side ($4.95 for a cupcake), but it is a good cupcake. It could have more flavour but the texture is amazing. Very pretty and colourful shop, and nice service inside.
