This is a new cafe in a small shopping strip that is becoming increasingly popular for new cafes. I found the coffee acceptable though I had to send the first cup back because it was cold. The food is quite good but it was not exceptional. Had the smashed avocado and I enjoyed it but it wasn't memorable. The place itself has quite a nice vibe as long as it's not too busy. They also have an outside courtyard.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This new cafe/bar is open all day from breakfast. We went for lunch and they were pushing the shared plates. We decided not to share. I had the quinoa and goats cheese salad and it was delicious. My friend ate the sliders and lamb shank croquettes and said they were terrific.
Coffee was excellent and the service was friendly.
I thought the choices for lunch were somewhat limited but everything we ate was scrumptious so we will be back.
Prices were reasonable. My salad was $13.50

Dr Neil is a family counseling specialist. She is truly wonderful, compassionate and really professional in all her dealings. I would highly recommend her if you need help for anyone in your family. She is just wonderful.

We had breakfast here. The eggs were Ok. I was disappointed that the bread was ordinary supermarket style sliced bread. I think this always spoils a cafe breakfast. Overall, pretty average.

Approximate cost: $12

We had a week day Yum Cha here. The food was quite tasty and the place was very busy. I thought it lacked a bit of variety but overall we were quite happy with it. Not the cheapest in the area.

This is a quaint little place hidden down a back lane. It has some interesting vegan food choices. I did find that the staff had a bit of an attitude which didn't sit well with me so not sure if I would go back.

Approximate cost: $16

Elio does a very good job. He called back quickly when I left a message which is rare these days and he came when he said he would. He did a good job though at $35 an hour he was more expensive than my previous gardener.

Approximate cost: $35

The couple who run Bagdad Pottery are terrific. Helpful and talented. The name mugs i bought are gorgeous and of high quality. They will also ship your mugs to order so you don't have to be in Tasmania to enjoy their wares.

Not a very nice looking place, small, but the food is quite plentiful and tasty. The owners are friendly and attentive. Prices are not cheap but not too bad.

Nice family bistro. I had a very good salad. It's a bit like a La Porchetta but more friendly and homely. The manageress was particularly friendly and attentive.
