Thoroughly enjoyed their pizza, quite cheap too, considering the size of the pizzas.Wouldn't like to eat there though as it is quite small. They also have a bakery next door which does delious fresh bread.

Approximate cost: $15

Nice enough cafe, sort of like a bakery, cakes, pies, biscuits. A little cramped, but a great place to take mum or grandma for a coffee and a scone.

Approximate cost: $10

Nice central takeaway store, reasonably priced, friendly staff. Great for a quick, cheap inner city bite to eat.

This review is for Tolhurst's Downunder Book Shop, Hobart TAS

I'm not really a fan of this store. Their prices are a little high for second hand, however they do offer a 50% buyback scheme. While their stock is in great condition, they don't really have a great range.
If not looking for anything specific, this store is fine as a time filler. However I wouldn't bother if you were after a book you've been searching for.

I adore this store. It always reminds me off the bookshop from BlackBooks. Books are piled all over the place, most with a sign saying $2 each, which for a bookworm is heaven. I'm not saying the place is chaotic, just homely. They have incredibly large selection of books, which has attributed largely to the vast amount of books I have at home. They also have stock dvd, videos, tapes, cd and vinyls, many at discounted prices. If they don't have it in stock, they will even order it off amazon for you! All in all a fantastic second hand bookstore that is well worth a look in your lunch break.

This review is for Beauty & The Bees, Hobart TAS

When our son was born we got given some nappy rash cream from Beauty & The Bees and it is the only thing we have used since. Their products are all natural and really quite reasonably priced. Their store its self is a little cramped, but the quality of their products is astounding.

This review is for China Diner, Moonah TAS

Overall I don't mind this place. The food isn't very warm and doesn't give the impression of being very fresh, but I guess that can be said about all buffet restaurants. The decor is nice enough, however it felt to me that a lot more could be done.
It is quite a large place and they have utilsed the space well, but it still feels cheap and unwelcoming.
When it comes to getting takeaway, all they do is take a container and walk around the buffet with you.. Not entirely how I feel about that..$14 for all you can eat is good value, but you get what you pay for.

Approximate cost: $14

This review is for Kingston Locksmiths, Kingston TAS

verified email - 27 Apr 2012

I snapped the key to my car in the lock and took the two pieces in to them. 2 minutes and 8 dollars later I had a brand new key. Outstanding. Absolutely Outstanding. There's a wide selection of gifts and nick-nacks, and they offer shoe repair and engraving as well. All which is lovely, but I can not give enough praise to the locksmith side of their business.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for The Last Bite Takeaway, South Hobart TAS

verified email - 27 Apr 2012

The last bite is literary your last chance to grab a bite to eat before connecting on to the Southern Outlet (if you're able to get a parking space). Standard sort of takeaway food, fish and chips and cold drinks. Very friendly staff and really quite good value. Perfect place to bribe the kids with food before heading up to the Huon Valley.

This review is for Mykonos Takeaway, Sandy Bay TAS

verified email - 27 Apr 2012

Great takeaway shop! I find there's nothing worse than ordering fish and chips and standing awkwardly in the store while the food is cooking. Mykonos has solved this by having a vast amount of bizarre nic-nacks on the walls (plush tigers with sunglasses, elvis pictures, etc, etc). Being open pretty much all the time, save for a couple of hours before dawn, is great for shift workers and uni-students alike.

Approximate cost: $8
