Twice a year you'll find this tucked away place holds a great sale, providing you with books that you pay not very much for. Sometimes, they offer you a box that you can fill up with books for a total of $40 regardless of what each book costs- bargain!

Approximate cost: $From $1 per book upto about $30 per book depending

Chocolate lovers- this place is divine! The most amazing hot chocolate and chocolate mousse ever. Hot chocolates made with real chocolate are the bomb- i love them. So rich, so smooth, so delicious. Dieters- avoid this place, not for the gym junkie, veer away from asap. For those who know we only live once and enjoy the occasional treat- do visit.

Approximate cost: $5.75 per hot chocolate

I have been going to this place for years. I love baking my own cakes but can't be bothered making the decorations for them- i make cakes for intimate weddings of friends and birthdays. The service has always been great and the offerings amazing- hire of cake tins you cannot buy, icings (in case you can't make your own), sugar decorations (amazing). Then, sadly the business was sold to an American lady who takes advantage of the fact that she is in a monopoly situation. It makes me sick to the stomach how bad the service is- the only thing keeping me going are her staff (and the fact that the place sells great stuff that you generally can't get anywhere else unless you want to drive to Heidelberg).

Approximate cost: $50 cents per sugar decoration to $5 - $50 for tin

The food and prices are good here. The ambience is great. It's similar to "Borders" here- as you walk in there is a book shop as well as a gift shop, towards the back is the cafe offering delights such as pastries and gourmet meals. The service is ok which seems to be the deal with most places now a days- i don't understand why that is but it just is.

Approximate cost: $20 for lunch

Rare Bears is typical of your play centre. I only ever go to these places when lots of people want to meet up there. The place is clean but i don't suggest going there on a hot day as it is a shed thus not a very cool place to go in. To charge something like $9 is ok but then to ask that you not bring in your food is to ask a bit much. The food is satisfactory but the prices a little high for what you are getting. The service is awful.

Approximate cost: $9 (without food)
