These chocolates are to die for, absolutely delectable. I particularly like the Australian influence in flavors such as lemon myrtle and wattle, and they also have more traditional flavors. I buy these for a real special treat.
Excellent coffee and beautiful and delectable treats. The quiches are also delightful and the salad with them is fresh and tasty. Lovely atmosphere under the big tree.
This is a great and unique shop, full of really clever and wonderful things that make life easier while looking after the planet we live on. I love the natural and toxin free options, but more than that, I get absorbed browsing around this fascinating shop with all the interesting and beautiful things.
Excellent coffee and service. Freshly roasted beans give a really great full bodied coffee and all the food is made in house. This is the way coffee is meant to be. A little secret treasure in Brisbane.
A lovely location overlooking the Bulimba ferry terminal, this cafe has a modern and vibrant atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the food exceptional. The menu changes occasionally too, so you can keep going back and try something new.
I have awful hair, it is so fine, but the very talented and friendly hairdressers at B hair can make any type of hair look amazing. They help you to work out what will work for you. Such a friendly and welcoming team as well makes it such a lovely experience.
Are you stick of the same boring menu items at every cafe? Then try the Jam Pantry. No ordering off a stock standard menu, the menu is written on blackboard and change to reflect seasonal produce. Really unique different combinations, the chef is truly a creative genius. That is topped off with really friendly service and relaxing atmosphere.

Matt provides an excellent massage targeted to your particular needs and clearly cares about improving the wellbeing of his clients. I have been receiving treatment from Matt for about a year now.
I have also started using the airpod (hyperbaric oxygen treatment) for treatment of fibromyalgia with outstanding results. After just two sessions in the airpod, I started noticing a reduction in fatigue. Then, after about 4 sessions the benefits were quite dramatic, with a significant "lightening" of the "heavy body" fatigue. I found it easier to move and didn't tire as quickly. I wondered to myself, "is this what it is like to feel normal?". This would last for about a day or so after the session. But after just a few more sessions, about 8 in total, I noticed that my symptoms were not returning as severely in between the sessions either. There is a definite improvement, particularly in reducing that debilitating heavy body fatigue. I can do so much more, live more.

There were many cheaper options overseas, but I decided to support local business; a decision I regret in this case. Instead of taking a matter of weeks as claimed on the website it took over 4 months to get my book published, despite me getting proof edits back to them in a matter of days. I had to resubmit files several times because they hadn't bothered to download them, and there were so many delays the book was not published in time for the exhibition I had planned to release it at. Then after sending books around australia and overseas the pages started falling out, and when I enquired they saidit was an isue wit the glue. It took a great deal of effort to get them to agree to reprint some of the books, they claimed it was past the two weeks for returns, I had to resort to chasing up what there legal obligations and they finally had to agree to reprint the faulty books. Surely, if you make a product you know to be faulty you would just replace it? Apparently not if you are "Love of Books" - letting pages fall out does not speak of love to me! They were also supposed to refund me a small sum of money for the postage I was out of pocket, but now a year later I am sick of hasseling them for it. I guess that was their plan all along.
I have eaten several times at the restaurant now, and each time it has been magnificent. The food is mouth watering; definitely try the feasting lamb, it is delectable, and even the sides are all very special, no boring old vegetables or salads here. The service and atmosphere are also top notch, the perfect place for a special meal out.
