This is a cafe that seems to be going from strength to strength. To start with, it's more than a cafe - it is also a chocolate shop with a wide range of interesting and unusual chocolates and sweets on offer - great for gifts or just for your own sweet tooth. The coffee is good and the menu has gradually expanded so that now its a great place for breakfast, lunch or an any time of day snack. Worth a visit.

The nursery is pretty good, but didn't have quite the range I was expecting for such a large site. The pet shop and supermarket were a definite added bonus though.

I feel this business is overrated. The cakes and pastries look fantastic, but the looks are a lot better than the taste. Staff are reasonably friendly but always slow.

If you enjoy doing surveys for rewards this is one of the best sites - never had any problems with it and the amount of points given for time invested seems fair enough. You can earn extra points by shopping with their partners, reading emails etc - good if you do a lot of online shopping.

Well ..... too much hard sell on the products! The hairdresser I had was very competent but she didn't really listen to what I wanted. Also, I hate it when they are so busy that they don't even look at you before they wash your hair - it doesn't give me confidence that they care about what might suit your face and hair. I was a bit disappointed and it was expensive.

I had heard a lot about this little place before I visited, so I was expecting a lot. Overall it was great - the food was amazing, service impeccable. A bit pricey perhaps but definitely worth a visit.

You have to line up outside to get a table, but it is worth it. Outstanding Thai food, great value for money. Its always busy - you might have to wait to get in, but you won't be sorry.

Very, very scared of dentists! The dentist and all other staff I saw here were very confidence inspiring and friendly. Art on the walls and some decent music playing quite loud helped make this a much better experience than I expected. Recommended.
