Sands

Love this place, lots of variety without too much, often free activities for the kids on a weekend and a fenced in playground for the kids to play on while you enjoy a warm cuppa from the French bakery.

Pretty much any type of dried fruit you could ask for. You can even get fresh peanut but crushed on the spot. However it's quite expensive.

Love love love this place. Great as a cafe but even better for a private function on the deck over looking the lush forest with fairy lights.

Great produce at a good price. Option of pre-packaged foods if that's your thing. Everything you generally need in a grocery shop.

Great fresh produce, always a competitive price. The staff are friendly and you even get offered a free newspaper at the checkout.

A quaint little bookshop amongst cafes and near the cinema. Limited range but some unique finds. Can be pricey but worth a look.

Pretty much one of my favourites when in Sydney. Easily accessible, plenty of space inside - limited outside, but a large menu and very accomodating for any requests. Staff are great and the coffee hits the nail on the head.

Well you certainly can't complain about the view. Food is tasty too and at a price relevant to the surroundings. Parking can be a pain but the perfect place for a pre/post swim bite to eat.

What a hidden little gem! Downstairs under the curtain shops you'll find a huge collection of second hand books. You can sit down and enjoy a cuppa and cake while browsing the vast collection.

A great feel and tasty food. A mature bar set up for a sophisticated drink after work. Good service and not over priced.
