Going to this store is a real luxury - you only do it once in a while because it costs a lot more than supermarket chocolate but it so good you actually eat less. Try the lemon myrtle truffles.

Staff are friendly and helpful and always ready with a smile and a sample or two.

This place is a real magical mystery tour - there is always something new and interesting.

I got enough tiles to redo my entire kitchen/dining for under $200, replaced my door handles and even found garden statues for $5 that I have seen elsewhere for hundreds of dollars. Some stock is second hand, but a lot a end-of-run items that you can pick up brand new for next to nothing.

Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Fantastic range of kitchen wares and the staff are super-helpful and ready with recommendations. The also do gift vouchers and have a lot of fun novelty pieces.

You are paying for quality though, so don't show up with pocket change and expect to grab some cheap knives.

The staff are wonderful but they just can't seem to keep up - good problem to have I guess, but waiting 20mins for a meal you pre-ordered gets a bit old pretty fast, especially when other options nearby are cheaper and faster (even if not quite as good).

If you have the time and want to treat yourself, this is definitely a great place for a long lunch.The food is great, especially the Margherita Pizza, but this is not the place to go if you have a very tight budget or a picky palette.

This review is for Blackebys Old Sweet Shop, Stepney SA

It's expensive but understandably so, this stuff is hard to get in Australia - still the only place I have seen Moon Pies (Simpson's episode where Bart works for Mrs Glick).

This is a great shop to browse in as you never know what you will find. They have their standard range, but there are always new things to try.

Staff are fantastic. Dining room recently re-fitted but still feels a bit old.

Pretty standard pub food, prices depend when you are there - $10 specials for lunch on weekdays include salad bar soup and ice cream, kids free with adult Monday and Tuesday.

It's not the cheapest or the fastest, but the food is worth the wait. Better elsewhere? Probably, but it's convenient and the food is good.

Get your food with no salt if getting gravy though - can be too salty otherwise.

Quality of takeaway has dropped over the last few years but prices have increased (only ever had takeaway) - you can order 2 of the same dish and they are completely different.

Not what is used to be - tend to go elsewhere if we can.

This review is for The Fleurieu Pantry, Port Noarlunga SA

Went for high tea with a friend using a Cudo voucher - service was a little slow but food was fresh and tasty and as much as expected for high tea. Atmosphere is great and gift store at the front is worth a nice long browse.

This review is for Classic Roller Shutters, Salisbury Plains NSW

Friendly and easy. Do roller shutters, security windows and security doors. High quality products at better prices than competitors - if you want it all done by the same people, this is the way to go.

Down side - no payment plan. You need to pay it all within a week or two of installation.
