The food's good. The servers are polite, not overly friendly but they do get very busy. The prices are reasonable, not cheap or expensive. They have a variety, hot foods, salads, desserts, etc. It does get packed so take-away is the better option.

This review is for Paddington Markets, Paddington NSW

When I first reviewed this business I thought it was Paddy's Haymarket (oops! sorry!) but when I googled it I realised I can still review it!
I love markets like these. I have a time table for como, rocks, etc market times. I haven't been to this market much because it's quite far from the Shire. Markets are meant to be fun and quirky. All markets like these with arts and crafts (my main reason to visit) are delightful and fun.
Sometimes things can be a bit expensive because the stallholders aren't part of a big corporation and the cost of materials and etc. It's fine because it's all part of the experience.
The service and product variety and quality vary from stall to stall.

This review is for Kafe Express, Penshurst NSW

I knew the original owner and had also developed a nice relationship with the new owner and operator. It went under a renovation and the tiny cafe is classy and has high quality products. I love their breads which are delivered weekly and it's very close to transport so you can grab something before you go to work. I really enjoy this place. Shame I don't live in Penshurst any more or I'd still be going their every morning for a hot drink and toast.

It's a nice restaurant that's pretty big. The staff are friendly. The prices are reasonable. The food is good, not great but good and it's at an easily accessible location.

I work in the area so I frequent the hidden treasures. This is one of them. The staff are friendly, the food fresh and the prices reasonable. They're a cheaper alternative to the local Sushi Train with rolls and hot meals.

This review is for Chocolateria San Churro, Miranda NSW

Amazing! Amazing! I love it. It's chocolate and more chocolate. My parents love its chocolate covered nuts. I love it's churros. The first time I entered, the staff were friendly and patient explaining things to me. The atmosphere is nice and this type of niche store isn't that common.

This review is for Cafe Fix, Sutherland NSW

They're terrible. They employ students and continuously hire work experience so the staff aren't consistent. The food isn't great either. The coffee's bad. The food can be awful or ok depending on what you order. A few years ago it was better but then it changed its name and suppliers and became Cafe Fix which was a huge mistake.

This review is for Menai Chinese Takeaway, Menai NSW

They were happy to cater to my specifications and make up a stir fry for me. The prices are pretty cheap. It also opens till late so it's a good place to pick up something on the way back from work.

This review is for The Italian Bowl, Newtown NSW

I first visited this place with a friend and their family. It's quite a small restaurant and the atmosphere is lovely. The staff are constantly smiling, friendly and flirty. The food is delicious and cheap. We got the wrong dish and they gave us it for free and made the one we ordered.
It can get crowded being such a popular place but it's worth waiting a little while and soaking in the lovely warm atmosphere. Oh! Also, I'm pretty sure the staff are all men quite comfortable with their sexualities to give the patrons a flirty entertainment which is a refreshing change to the typical toxic masculinity.

This review is for Dogue, Bondi Junction NSW

I haven't used their pet minding or grooming services. I needed to find a harness for my newly adopted Maltese. He's extremely small so I couldn't find any collars that fit that weren't designed for cats. They staff were helpful and estimated the right size. The quality is also amazing. It was quite expensive but it is a boutique so it's expected. It was $50 for a harness and leash.
