  Hawkeye's Kitchen 24/11/2023 Eeek, 1 month until Christmas! Good thing I'm about half done with my present shopping 😎 I've gone out for lunch for my lunch break to a local cafĂ©/burger joint which has only been open about 2 months. I came to this cafĂ© around a fortnight ago and the food was excellent. Some of the cafes I was going to review have since closed so decided to come back for more food and to give the coffee a go. Let's review: Coffee look - 1 Coffee flavour - 0.5 Price - $5.50 = 1 Pram friendly - 1 Atmosphere - 0.5 Total: 4/5 It's hard to make take away coffee look good, but they've done well.  I got a lovely aroma when I went in for a sniff. The flavour is definitely there but could be a touch strong. Good quality coffee. At $5.50 there is nothing to complain about price wise. There is one step up in the front and one step down to the main seating area which would be fairly easy to navigate with a pram. There is plenty of room to get a pram to a ta...

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 ...

  Misha's CafĂ© (Formerly Proud Mamma) 03/11/2023 I'm doing something a little different today. I'm starting off by going to Degani for lunch and then another cafĂ© after. I've got a Dr's appointment at 2pm to go over recent bloods, but she tends to check my blood pressure most visits. Believe it or not decaf can put your blood pressure up a bit so I decided not to risk it. I've already reviewed Degani so not much point re-doing that. One of the other cafĂ©s I visited in January has changed hands so I thought I'd do a review of them. My bloods were all good, Dr happy with blood pressure and weight but glad I waited until after to grab coffee. I went into Misha's cafĂ© at 2:40pm to be told they were doing take away only, so I guess they must close at 3pm. As far as I can tell they have only been open 1 week. The man was lovely and very apologetic so I accepted the take away option. I've already reviewed the physical store before so not a big deal. I then ...
