We had an old queen size mattress to get rid of. I rang Melbourne Mattress Recycling who were able to come and collect it the next business day. Payment was easy using their online system via paypal. They collected as arranged with no difficulties (despite our place being a little bit hard to find, and some confusing instructions about where the mattress would be left). Friendly, prompt, and great service all round.
Approximate cost: $35
I attended an intro to digital photography course at the studio, purchased as one of those daily deal vouchers. The online booking process was really easy and prompt. On the day I was the only who turned up (others having cancelled at the last minute). I appreciated Brian's professionalism in still running the class (of 1!) and his taking the time to go through the features on my camera. He explained concepts very clearly and I learned a lot - as a total novice I left feeling more confident to go away and learn more and try things out. Brian's down-to-earth and patient approach (and absence of the jargon and snobbery that I sometimes associate with photography/photographers!) was fantastic. The class would probably work even better as a small group as peoples' questions and contributions would add to it but it was still very worthwhile.
I'd heard a lot about this place so made a special effort to go check it out. Service is terrific, very friendly and efficient. They have a great range of products. However the food itself (I've got bakery food a few times) is only good, not great. And fairly expensive for what it is.
I went on a busy Sunday afternoon and the service wasn't great - took them a while to acknowledge me let alone serve me, and subsequently (after a long wait) mixed up my order. But now I've got that over with - it doesn't really. For a delicious, fresh wrap full of tasty ingredients, for only $8.50!! One can't be too fussy. If only they were open at dinner time too
These guys are great. Have used them twice for printing services - they are really prompt in providing quotes and completing orders, great communication, and staff are really helpful and friendly. Also really conveniently located in West Melbourne - close to city & train stations but easy parking right outside for pickup. I didn't shop around much on prices but they seemed comparable to other places.
Prompt service, easy-to-use website (great to be able to do it over the Internet), good quality. Would be good if they were open on weekends too.
The most popular kebab joint on Sydney Rd Coburg and there's a reason for that. Very yummy kebabs, the ladies who work there are so onto it, my order has always been taken promptly and they always get it right. Not so nice for eating in because it's so tiny, cramped, and busy. But that's OK we always get it for takeaways anyway
Have eaten here a couple of times, in the back restaurant and in the pub restaurant part. Unfailingly, the food has been delicious, the service excellent, and the surroundings cosy and comfortable. Just how your local pub should be.
Coburg library is small yet has a surprisingly good range of books, CDs, DVDs. Reserves are now free (I think they used to be $1) which means that anything from any Moreland Council libraries can be reserved and brought to the library for you. This is great for popular/recent things that are always on loan. Staff there are always friendly and helpful and there is also free wi-fi, printing services, and work spaces.
Thanks to womo I have discovered some great local businesses that I wouldn't have found out about otherwise. It's a great way to hear about other peoples' experiences
