Great guys who know there work and will tell you if something is worth fixing ,not just take your money .their engraving is lovely .had a mug done for a present and cost was reasonable just over $20 for 7 letters and a date. They cut keys ,fix shoes and are polite and funny. Very handy position too

Love this store to find something special when I need it. The sizes are great and can sometimes find a bargain. Have found a lovely orange summery top with lace inserts last week for $25 and fits so well. Change rooms are good and not squashed. Lovely ladies who chat when paying for purchases makes you feel comfortable. Parking is a plenty outside in the huge car park. Store lay out is good with everything to be seen at a glance. Open 7 days

Great little store with a lot,of customer care and staff who listen to your needs and show you what could interest you at a good price amd work deals for you. Purchased a lovely little lady bug key ring with a bit of bling on it for less than I expected . Bright store so you can see items clearly. Staff know their stones which is good. Situated on the corner next to the back towards coles . Check it out for bargains

Not bad for a basic lawn mowing job. Lawns and edges done but no care taken sometimes as one of my little pots of herbs ended up shredded to bits and denied the did it. Told me am i deaf and did I listen. No need to speak to people like that . Hope they have nicer staff. Close to home but only a small plot to mow here . Good luck with that attitude I say.

Brand new store open next to the cinemas on the boardwalk.
Bright store interior lighting.nice wooden tables and display counter. Doors open right up for an open shop front to look out to the boardwalk.
We tried this last night after the movies ,was open at 9 pm still.
The menu is rather tasty looking and extensive .beautiful sounding chicken,pork,lamb,beef or veggie choices in sandwiches and breads and sides.
I chose a sunday roost. Chicken with herb stuffing,king island bree,cherry toms,buttercrunch lettuce and cranberry jam. Very innovative menu lots of different things to try. This sandwich was absolutley delicious! The jam gave it such sweetness. $14.80 exe yes but so much on it.breads are so fresh. My friend had sheep thrills lol slow cooked roast lamb indian carrot salad and tikka masala sauce ,$13.80 she was drooling lol.they have kids meals . Yummy looking salads congo potato,spiced carrot and Israeli couscous. Sides of potato chips,and extras which i think is a bit exe of $4 on top of an already exe sandwich.
They also have ice cream,delectable lindt choc with caramelised marshamllows. Sounds heavenly.
Won't make a habit of if but would like to try a few more things on this lovely fresh menu.
Worth a look people and try it. Staff were lovely and helpful making the sandwiches asking q and making convo.

After listening to the hype about how good this place is ,we decided to try it fri night.
Its a nice clean bright shop,big kitchen area,tables to sit down and eat inside or a small table n chairs outside the door. Drinks fridge but why are 1.5 lt bottles so bloody exe $5 here!
3 orders in front of us,they also do deliveries.
Lots of different choices to other places on their pizza menu so we chose a medium golden beach,prawn mush bacon and pine and a container to share of a pasta dish surfrider with prawns bacon pine tomato and parsley.
Cost us more on the receipt than the actual prices kn the menu. Partner didnt notice that till i looked at the docket the next day. We couldnt figure out what the extra $5 was for.
The pizza for a medium could have been classed as small elsewhere. The pastry didn't stand up to the topping,pastry was soft and a bit soggy and you couldn't pick it up without dropping stuff off it.
The order took 25 min with only a few in front of us and 9 people working there which I thought was
Way too long to wait. No deliveries went out in the time we waited ,only pickups put aside so don't know why it took ages.
The prawns they use were absolutely beautiful, thick tasty and full. Pizza topping was nice but as i said the pastry is a let down. The pasta dish was quite nice even tho we didn't find any tomatoes pine or parsley in it. Was a cream sauce that was Salty from the prawns and had a nice taste but about 1/4 cup left after it was finished . Had a hint of garlic. Id go back again to try something else tho .wasn't that disappointing but didnt live up to the hype. Staff were just ok nothing out of the ordinary. Try it tho its worth the effort .

Decided to give this place a go on the long weekend.
Situated in the currimundi marketplace.plenty of parking. Clean small shop.
Staff took our order ,no chit chat,shop wasn't busy about 2 others waiting.cant say they were friendly.
The prices i found were a bit high. Over $10 for a works burger it had want to be enormous for that. Almost $8 for a small piece of cod i had.large calamari was $9:50 ,its more expensive than a lot of places we have been. We ordered fish n chips for 2 and 2 bottles of drink,buderim ginger beer and a portello . Almost $30 cost. The fish was small for the price and I hate fish that still has the skin on it on both sides as well. Fish was about 6 in long and 2 inches wide. I Didn't find it appetising at all. The crumb was nice on it and wasnt overly greasy. Chips were crispy ,partner enjoyed it . I won't give it a second try

Place was packed on a public holiday and I can see why. We only wanted gelato this time but they have sit down eating,gelato,deli and a cheese room. Open and bright.bit cramped at the counter on weekends lol
We bought 2 flavour cup gelatos. I had cherry rioe which was absolutely divine and blood orange which tasted citrusy. Partner had passionfruit cheescake which I had a taste and damn it was good ,had the passionfruit tang and was like eating the fruit and He had banana with galliano which was very smooth and had a full taste of banana. Cost was $6:60 each. Drinks fridge has lots of different drinks. The cheese room at the front of store looked amazing with all dofferent varieties. The guys and girls serving were friendly . Place is very clean.parking outside on the street is hard to find but there is a parking area down the alley at the back ,entrance from the st at side of store. Will go back and try other things .

When this place decides to open at the times displayed ,its a good food spot in a prime position .walking distance from the beach. But don't go expecting to find it open at the times it says. It closes at odd hours during peak times in school hols and weekends. Bit odd.
When we do manage to catch it open their seafood is cooked lovely. Lots of different drinks and gelatos are a must. Plenty of seating inside in open areas looking out to the rd or go for a wander 5 min to the beach. Burgers are pretty good. Prices start from $6 for cod. I like their fish and seafood sticks. The serve coffee and tea only gripe is that they open when they feel,like it

Out of the way beautiful seafood by the water.
Prices are reasonable.next to the caravan park across the rd from bbqs and picnic tables. We get a seafood basket for $13 which is great value, 2 whiting,chips,prawns,seafood button,calamari is cooked oerfectly and so are the brilliant potatos scallops for only $1:20
The seafood is great,cooked well,crispy batter or crumbed we prefer. The salt and pepper calamari is cooked to perfection and they know how to do a potato scallop. We have tried the burgers but they need to up their game on that one. Buns are too small for the burgers and it all falls out and the taste isn't much. Clean neat and the service is fast. They have the convenience items for holiday makers staying in the caravan park next door. Closed for a few hours in the arvo but open till like 7:30 most nights. Fish is big and thick and not greasy. Good job guys
