I do my main fruit and veg shop here on a weekly basis. I buy what I need and enjoy the discounts that they have. I don't buy everything every week, just what I need for the week and what is in season. Such as avocados, oranges, apples, cabbage, leeks, potatoes, corn, grapes, onions, eggplant, mushrooms, capsicum. Some can be a hit and miss so just be careful of the freshness, hence the heavily discounted prices sometimes.

There is also a good range of nuts, dried spices, eggs and herbs.

Although this is not my usual grocery store, I usually go in there to get what I need and go out. Their service is consistent to all the other Coles stores that I visit.

Highlights:
Staff always happy and friendly
Speedy check out
Sausages

Hit and misses:
Could do with more fruit, veg, meat

I only go here if I absolutely need to bulk up with the discounts they have. I prefer to go on Sunday mornings rather than Saturday mornings where it's chockablock! At most times, there's not enough check out people so 90% of people are lining up a the express lanes so you could lining up for ages!

Highlights:
Big mark downs on post easter and christmas period
I like the grapes in here
Great selection of deli choices
Marinated chicken is really good
Sausages
Bakery products

Hit and misses:
Could do with more check out people
Some fruit and veg could do with top ups

Since upgrading to Gold many years ago using my points, you can never go back to the normal level. I always go to check the new reward partners and remember to shop via that. Points take awhile to accumulate if you don't shop, so if you are a patient person, then this is for you.

The banking bit has changed a lot, I wished that you can bank your 25,000 for longer than the 3 months. My Opinions is linked up with it so more points, yay!

This review is for Fusion 360 Restaurant And Cafe, Sunnybank QLD

I see this place more of a social gatherings of friends coming together. I think the menu is trying to be more fancier than their other restaurant Coffee Square at Market Square, hence the prices reflect the "fusion" of cultural flavours, I see that there's quite a few Japanese style dishes. The prices are slightly more expensive than the usual fare you get at the usual Sunnybank restaurants and the coffee could seriously be improved (yes I am a coffee snob!).

Great coffee if you prefer Campos coffee over Veneziano coffee, this is the place for you! Although I was here for their pastries, my friend had the ham and cheese croissant and I had the bread thing with pine nuts, spinach and feta cheese. I really liked it because it's not oily as some bakeries.

Was going to get a pie but they looked rather "blonde" as in the pastry didn't not look as appealing to my eyes. All the other pastry and bread items looked really good to eat.

Known for their Veneziano coffee, you can also order a "wayne" size cup of 4 espresso shots (not for the faint hearted!). Went here for their coffee which I really do enjoy. The coffee could be a bit hotter but there's a balance there of not burning the coffee. Nice litte area to enjoy your coffee and food as well.

On the corner of the intersection it's a pretty cool bakery eatery. Had a really nice coffee and a pastry. Nice display of other yummy looking food, would come here again if it was closer to work.

This review is for Jam Jar, West End QLD

The courtyard has an interesting mix of decor, mainly sourced from second hand materials, very much influenced by the alternative style that West End is known for. Cosy atmosphere with tasty entrees, although some of the entree items where off the menu.

The mains were nice, I had the mussels in an Asian style with yummy sour dough bread and my friend had the risotto with beet root and other yummy bits.

The views are the highlights the lowlights is the food is pretty ordinary and the coffee is on par with the not so good. If you are dying for a good coffee, I recommend the cafe at the botanical gardens.
