We had takeaway from here & were very disapointed. The meals we around $10 each, and there was plenty of pasta, but hardly any sauce. I could have, and should have made a better pasta at home!
Approximate cost: $10
A gorgeous little shop, filled with quirky and different items - which can be amazing presents. Mostly for females / older girls. I buy a lot of my Birthday presents from here, and you can find something thats different and not mainstream, in all the shops. The ladies who work behind the counter are very lovely and always willing to have a chat.
They do tea, coffee and scones but I have not had the opportunity to stop and try.
I love this cafe! It's husband and wife owned and operated, and in an ideal location in Mannum - easier to get a park, as it's near the Shearer Carpark and also opposite the Pretoria.
I have not had a meal from here, but coffee and cake - and it's amazing! It all appears to be homemade, and they have organic options (Which I opt for over anything!) and they sell a small selection of Organic Pasta and local produce.
They have a court next door to the cafe, which on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine & view of Mannum. Also room inside to sit down.
I did a tour of the Shearer B&B which is also part of it, and this is a very nice, clean and tidy B&B.
Very well run - and credit goes to the owners who run it by themselves. Their positive outlook makes me go back!
Aside from not enough tellers open, I cannot fault these guys. I have dealt with ANZ for 27 years, and hope to be a Murray Bridge customer for a long time to come!
There are the general complaints about fees and charges, but the superior customer service from the staff is what keeps me coming back!
Since doing their revamp and changing the store around, there is not much extra room - but it feels like there is so much extra stuff! This is how it should have been set up all along. The range is not massive, but very good for a target country.
The staff are nice and friendly and helpful.. Overall a nice little shop!
I believe this Coles never has enough checkouts open. There have been numerous times when I have strongly thought about leaving my trolley / basket of shopping because the wait is too long.
The checkout operators are very nice most of the time, however some lack customer service and the ability to pack a bag properly!
I don't like how many of the products are not local and are made overseas. I would much prefer to support the opposite - made in Australia and local.
I don't like their deli section as the range is not very big. The fruit and veg is the same. Neither of them have that "freshness" appeal about them!
To me, the whole store feels like it needs to be taken apart and scrubbed with bleach top to bottom, needs a sparkle and shine and not a negative dirty feeling.
I like supporting the little people, more than the big chains like coles and woolworths. The store is small, and parking can be difficult - but the service sure makes up for this. On Easter, I was trying to find a candy Easter Egg - and the man I got on the phone, saved my time by calling all the other stores to see if he could find one. Was very amazed, as you don't get service like this anymore!
The specials are amazing, and the range of local / Australian goods is far higher than coles/woolworths.
For around $10 per meal, you get enough for 2 meals! The servings that fit inside the boxes are very generous! The food is amazing though, and seems to be rather healthy.
Not a great place to probably go out and have a meal, but definitely take away - all the way!
Service is reasonable.

I started coming here, and using Mount Barker Radio Rentals, when my own local Radio Rentels was too bad to keep using!
For the first 12 months, I dealt with the same person. He was amazing. As a small business, we put in orders frequently for multiple items at a time. I was offered top service, and a rewarding small discount for our continued support.
Unfortunately he now seems to no longer work there, and the person I dealt with last has terrible customer service skills. There was no incentive to go back again, so I will now seek another store. Very disappointing.
These guys are great! Buying in bulk has never been so easy! I liked the fact the customer service is fantastic! Nothing seems to be too hard for these guys. They have even helped me carry out to the car, when I get too carried away.
Sometimes I call them in advance to check they have what I want - and it's always a positive experience! Especially when I don't always know what I am talking about! A while back I wanted the containers like what they put chinese in when you get take away! And the lady answering the phone was very helpful and polite in assisting me!
I would happily reccommend this business. I wish they had an online shop, and I could pick up my orders before I went into the store, it might stop me sppending so much!
