Sweet Anticipation We’re going to venture a little further afield with this review. Pretend it’s EatDrinkGoldCoast, just for a moment. I just spent the weekend at the coast with my homeslice. We had been looking forward to relaxing, enjoying the warm weather, and spending quality time to[...]

Sugar and Spice Mini Review
And All Things Nice What are little Allys made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice, that’s what little Allys are made of. Well, in reality, I was sweaty, wearing old gym clothes, and probably didn’t smell that fantastic. But at that moment, sitting in Sugar and Spice in the city, I f[...]

Simpatico Review
Fast BreakI can be extremely grumpy of a weekday morning. I have been known to scowl at people when they try to talk to me. When people chirp “Good Morning!”, I grunt in return. I’m not one of those people who needs caffeine before they can function normally-I’m just always i[...]

The Boys Review
ChillaxingI have a few things that make me insanely happy. One is kittens. One is cracking a beer after moving the lawn. The other is trashy, trashy magazines, full of pretty pictures and celebrity gossip. Usually I am forced to indulge this habit at the doctor’s office, or the library. But I&[...]
Il Villagio Review
BakedThere are days when the leftover birthday cake in the office just isn’t going to cut it. Neither is Mr Cadbury and friends in the vending machine. And the pitiful little muffin you brought in from home, sweating in Glad Wrap? Forget about it. Sometimes you need a quality baked treat to hi[...]

Petro mini-review
Hidden DelightSometimes you feel like being a bit of a coffee snob. “Gloria Jeans? Starbucks? The Coffee Club? Pah! I want coffee from a unique, boutique cafe!” Get off your damn soapbox. Capitalism isn’t out to ruin you. I do agree though with the delight in a good brew that can o[...]
Babu Burgers & Grill Review
Quote Worthy We have another special guest reviewer this week! What, again? Are Nick and Ally not eating or something? Trust me, I am chowing down and I have the muffin top to prove it. But I digress-for now here’s Chris, another brave soul who answered our new writer call. Enjoy. A hamburger [...]

Vue Lounge Review
Effective Italian Vue Lounge sits in the Merthyr Village Shopping Complex in New Farm. It’s a stylish, straight forward Italian influenced café / lounge bar that could be considered a little snobbish, which is probably why the residents of New Farm make it a hang out of choice. It’s definitely [...]

3 Monkeys Review
Right. I’ll keep this short and simple. 3 Monkeys is a coffee and tea house in West End. I’d be very surprised if you haven’t heard of it. They’re open late (at least 11:30pm every night) which is in stark comparison with the rest of Brissy coffee shops. They’re popular; on a recent Wednes[...]
