I purchased my beautiful little puppy from Puppy Pad in November 2017 (signed a contract and paid…read more$1700 for him). He was advertised as a toy poodle x miniature schnauzer (his picture and ad is still on their Facebook Page). My dog is now 9 months old, weighing 14kgs and with a height of 450mm to the shoulders. Concerned that my puppy keeps getting larger and larger, I contacted the owner (male) of Puppy Pad at Loganholme and suggested that my puppy was much larger than I would have expected a toy poodle x miniature schnauzer to be. The owner of this business responded with: "was I able to guarantee what my children would look like?" (assuming he meant my human children) and " there is no guarantee when buying livestock". The owner was extremely rude throughout his telephone conversation and then continued to hang up. I would like to make it clear that I was not seeking any financial compensation for my puppy as we love him and he is part of our family now. My concern is the owner was rude and would not acknowledge my query. Also, if I was purchasing what I understood to be a toy poodle x miniature schnauzer from Puppy Pad at Loganholme for an elderly person, they would not be able to manage or be able to care for a similar puppy once it is fully grown. I am incredibly disappointed in this business false advertising their puppies and not taking any responsibility for their error.

This cafe, awkwardly positioned in a pocket of Pickering Road, might seem familiar. Their interior…read morehas been done before - mismatched plates and cups, famous people as table numbers, kitsch china figurines and oddly, many lifesize jars of Nutella. But give it a chance. What gives this spot a point of difference, in my opinion, is their choose-your-own-adventure style breakfast menu. They give you the base (eggs and toast - $8.90) and the rest is up to you. Pulled pork (china town style, hoisin meets char siu and dances with soy), vegetable fritter, Haloumi, mushroom, hollandaise? The list is seemingly endless. I arrived to try it all out at 11:30ish on a Friday. It's not overly busy but noisy. You've been warned. The concrete shell of this store means sound proofing isn't an option. Their specialty drink appears to be a cappucino (Genovese beans) with weird and wonderful flavours like nutella or such mixed through. I stick with a flat white that's easy to drink but lacking any oomph. I had read a review previous to going that said ask for a double-shot if you prefer a real coffee kick and I'm inclined to agree. As tempted as I was by the sides menu, I opted for a 6-in Steak & Philly Sub ($10). I've never had a philly steak before but when my plate is served I'm a little lost as what to do with the second slice of baguette. Served as an open sandwich, I'd happily pay a little less for not having the lonesome slice of bread or pay a little extra to have more topping to use on the other slice. I'd actually also love to know if I could have swapped the baguette out for it all served on a bed of spinach. I quite like what's going on at Hansell & Gretel. It's not new but it is a new take on breakfast for this particular area which (and they're directly across the road from iconic Grub Street) I think makes it an interesting game of play for locals! I liked that it wasn't stuffy or pretentious, just familiar food done reasonably well.

Hansell & Gretel is a fairly new spot in Gaythorne, open for breakfasts and lunches every day of…read morethe week. It's small, unpretentious but a bit quirky, and does good food and coffee with friendly service and reasonable prices. The menu selection has some interesting things on there (each has a fairytale-themed name - cute), with a mix of savoury and sweet options, but what is excellent is the long list of extras that means you can tailor your meal to suit. I like being able to add avocado and haloumi to everything! There is also a small, slightly more lunch-focused section of the menu which has things like a burger, philly cheese steak sub, and banh mi. I'm told the philly cheese steak sub is good, it definitely is big! I haven't tried any of the sweet menu options yet, but so far the savoury things I've tried have been yum. They have a decent looking selection of cakes/muffins/etc, many of which are gluten-free or dairy-free (or both). Hansell & Gretel is right next to train (Gaythorne station) and bus (390), but free street parking is also available down nearby side-streets. Seating is both inside and outside, I just wish the outside seats got sunshine in winter! It should be a cooler outdoor spot in summer though to make up for it. Latest update: something has changed, and it's more than the refreshed menu with higher prices (that now exceed the value for money tipping point in my opinion - I know the Woodchopper's Breakfast is huge but it's also $28 and for breakfast I just can't bring myself to pay that). I can't quite put my finger on it but H&G is definitely not as great as it used to be, unfortunately. The coffee is still good, they still play good music, and the sweet treats cabinet still rates highly, but my brunch devotion has waned in favour of other places in the area.

There were only two other people in the cafe but there was only one person working and she was a bit stressed. There was quite a wait for our coffees and breakfast but it was nice to relax outside on the couch and enjoy the sunshine. The meals arrived and only had one egg, which was disappointing given the menu listed eggs, plural. But given the price and the fact that the egg was perfectly poached it was enjoyable.
