I've made my way back to my list this time. And I'm finally halfway through this list. I think once I've finished this list I'll have to go back through and do a best of 2023 (as so many people keep telling me I should 😅)

Let's dive in:

  • Coffee look - 1
  • Coffee flavour - 0
  • Price - $5.50 = 1
  • Pram - 0.05
  • Atmosphere - 0.05
Total: 3/5



The coffee looked fantastic when it came out, but sadly it all goes downhill from there. I could smell no discernible coffee aroma. The froth though velvety and nice, took up almost a quarter of the cup. It wasn't very warm and even more sadly there was next to no flavour. Basically warm milk with a hint of coffee.

The price is its most redeeming quality.

The atmosphere is exceptionally loud and I had to ask for a menu after being seated for around 5 minutes. Not very impressed with that.

Also, really not pram friendly. At least not inside. There are a couple of tables on the pavement out front, weather permitting.

My overall impression is, don't bother.

Things are busy but good at home. Between everything the weeks keep flying by.

The only days time really stands still are Tuesday and Wednesday and only if I'm having a difficult day with our toddler.

She now pulls herself up to standing. Not all the time, but she can do it. She loves standing and to use me as a climbing pole.

My husband is considering heading back to Uni next year which is good.

Even I'm considering a bit of minor study to improve my career prospects in the future/if I've had enough of medical reception. I do love it, but it can wear you down after a while. But for now the job and hours suit me nicely.

Accreditation is next week, so I'll definitely be ready to celebrate on the weekend after that.

Until next time...

  For Change Café Bellfield 21/07/2023 Decided to take myself out for lunch after finishing work at 1pm since I have a Dr's appointment at 2:30pm, and couldn't be bothered going home yet. I'd have to go home have lunch, go to the clinic, go home for probably an hour or less and then pick our toddler up at 4pm. A big no thank you to that. Instead I decided to hit up one of the cafes on my list, have a relaxed lunch, go to the Dr and just pick our toddler up a bit earlier. Time for the review: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 1 Price - $5.50 = 1 Pram Friendly - 1 Atmosphere - 1 Total: 5/5 Holy crap it happened! A café has actually lived up to my slightly unrealistic expectations 😂 The coffee was very well presented in a beautiful cup. In my excitement I may have forgotten to sniff before tasting, but not a big deal because the flavour is there in spades. The foam was luxuriously velvety and a great precursor to the flavourful coffee underneath. The price is fantastic consi...

Mick's at Sweet by Nature (Sweet by Nature) 11/11/2023 The last few weeks have been zooming by with such force I decided to stop for a breather coffee and lunch after errands. I almost didn't because I feel like I'll have so much washing etc when I get home. But it can wait. Let's review: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 1 Price - $18.30 for meal, so $5.30 at a guess = 1 Pram friendly - 1 Atmosphere - 1 Total: 5/5 I'm not overly surprised they got such a good rating. I've been to Sweet by Nature many times over the years and their coffee and food has always been good. The café section is now a separate business called Mick's at Sweet by Nature. Thankfully the quality of everything is still excellent. When I took my first sniff I knew I was in for a good coffee. The froth was lusciously velvety and the perfect intro on what was to come. As I took my first sip I got a good hit of flavour. The coffee they use is excellent quality. In terms of the price that is ...

Aisle 17 14/08/2023 I've come to a random café straight after work because it's really convenient and I realised it's been a few weeks since my last review. I think I'll have to put a fortnightly/three weekly reminder in my phone since I keep almost forgetting. #mumbrain As you will see I've come for lunch as well. So lots to explore in today's review. Let's get into it: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 1 Price - $6 = 0.5  Pram friendly - 0.5 Atmosphere - 1 Total: 4/5 The coffee is well presented and not stingy on the all important choc dusting. The foam was a little thinner that I like, but not a deal breaker. The flavour is fantastic. For a decaf it packs a good punch and not too bitter or acidic. Definitely on the more expensive side at $6, but given the quality I could almost let that go. Almost. There are only a couple of tables you would consider bringing a pram to. It's not ridiculously cramped, but would be awkward with a pram further in. The atm...
