The coffee is good; not excellent, but good. What I do appreciate, however, is the friendliness of the staff. They are always so chipper and in good spirits that I immediately feel better about being on that scummy street. That is, until some madman approaches my table and starts muttering psychotic things right next to my face. I really do like this coffee shop, and the fact that it's the only one that bothers to stay open past 5 is a huge helping hand to me when I'm in need of caffeine. Just don't spend too long out on the street at the outdoor tables - you know how it is.

A good size and cheerfully made. Internet terminals. Useful as they are right next to the back packers. Toilets inside! A real plus. No tramping down a rainy back alley among oil cans and wheelie bins. Two big TVs which I guess would be really cool to watch a soccer match with back packers from next door. Big selection of cakes and a decent range on the menu. Flyers and posters for local events. Magazine rack. Large airy space and huge windows on two sides. This would be excellent for travel bloggers and diarists. I had the pancakes with lemon and sugar and they were no nonsense but fluffy and delicious.

I was genuinely intrigued by the atmosphere of this little…read morecafe at Mawson Lakes, it has a very interesting interior; a fireplace against the wall with cousy little sofas surrounding it and a small table for resting coffee on would tingle anyones interest in the establishment. I was quite captivated with some of the selection of cakes and deserts they had for sale, a variety of cakes were displayed for a reasonable price, however I couldn't find any pricing for cakes or cake slices on their given menu at that time. The actual cake and food quality looks OK, nothing extravagant, but nevertheless reasonable. What disappointed me the most about this lovely little cafe was the tasteless and extremely hot coffee that was served. The actual coffee was brewed way too fast; most likely rushed, I generally tasted the burnt coffee beans which also left an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth.

I was a little lack lustre about returning to Elephant Walk so soon, but with Eggless closed and a quick ring around of dessert bars at 11:40 on a Friday night it seemed they were the only choice open. After a few awkward moves to actually make it into the booths (they can be low down and a bit squishy) two out of our party of four decided on the peanut choc waffles. Ohhhhhh my. Elephant Walk gets onto my dessert bar favourites with these alone. I still wish they'd vamp up the rest of their menu, but at least now I have a favourite to keep coming back for.

A table out the back (eg. outside) was offered which took a little bit of convincing until the waiter mentioned the word 'heater'. Seated around our table under the stars, enjoying the radiant warmth of the gas heater, we certainly didn't feel like we were sitting in our 2nd option! The vegan menu was well-suited to my being lactose-free & the multitude of waffles/banana split/etc was indeed appreciated by the other three. I always love the multitude of tea options & the staff always serve everything with a smile. A great place to chill & wind down and leaving the previous dining establishment to enjoy dessert here invariably makes the night last longer!

So you can imagine the trepidation when I walked into Waffle's Waffle and it smelt of sugar, caramel and all that warming good stuff. But I am happy to report back I finished my half belgium waffle here with ice cream and strawberries minus the cray cray aftermath and sugar overload. It was so refreshing to have a dessert that wasn't smothered in cream, chocolate sauce and syrup but was instead light, fluffy and fresh. For $8 I received a generous serving of vanilla ice cream and fresh, juicy strawberries with enough chocolate sauce to ensure the waffle wasn't too dry or bland. The half serving was perfect for a morning tea sized snack. I'm really disappointed this place doesn't open later for weeknight desserts and that is the only reason for a loss of star. But it is definitely worth trying on a weekend or early Friday night after dinner at Cos or drinks at Udaberri across the road.

Beautiful cured and salted meats, plus some insanly high quality cuts of wagu and some Duck in there for good measure. So many choices, what to do?! Simple, get the ham! Not just any ham of course, the Serano Ham and Parma Ham are the only choices you need to consider. MEAT CANDY!

I have really enjoyed cooking up a rack of lamb from barossa fine foods and their diced lamb makes for a fantastic stew or curry. In addition to the entirely accessible, Barossa stocks some gourmet numbers which are perhaps a bit more risque, such as black pudding/blood saussage, emu posciutto and biltong (south african style dried beef). Try the kangaroo salami, it is really good and because kangaroos don't fart methane, it is good for the planet too.

I'm a big fan of their falafels which they get from Abdul's Kitchen but sometimes these are not as fresh as I would like. Even better is that this IGA has some of the friendliest staff around, particularly for check out chicks!

I preferred to do most of my shopping at the Central Markets, as it was vastly cheaper, but they aren't open every day. Which brings me to the big winning point of IGAs, including this one. Opening hours. Despite their slightly higher prices, they manage to compete by being open later at night on weekdays and weekends. Each IGA is slightly different, and this one is quite vastly different to the IGA at the other end of Hutt St. This one is on the up-market side, stocking a wide range of gourmet products. The City East deli stocks a range of cakes, pastas, salads, quiches and antipasto. In the fridges you can pick up pre-made meals from a range of local producers. I used to keep my eye on the discount fridge, where deli products went to die. The fruit and veg section isn't awful, but pricier than most. There is a rudimentary few aisles of basic home needs like toilet paper and light bulbs. Next to the regular tinned veg and pasta section is a little stand with fancier Italian products - nice sauces and egg pastas. In the icecream freezer you'll find the Maggie Beer range. Not a bad supermarket all round, and I'm sure it hits the target market of young professionals or wealthier types living in the city.
