This is a review of the cafe at Bunnings Mile End. After…read morevisiting today where the cafe lady was busy working by herself, her service was amazing. Not only was the coffee she made me well made & competitive with other cafes, but she brought my take away coffee to where I was waiting which was so nice. She deserves a good recommendation for her lovely service.

Hardware heaven! I…read morehave to admit that tools aren't really my thing but if they were this would be the only place to go (or a Bunnings near you)! Gardening is my secret passion and Mile End has a brilliant range of plants and very competitive prices. But best of all they actually have people working for them that appear to enjoy their jobs!! I have been approached on numerous occasions by staff members answering my silent "damsel in distress" attempts to get pots off shelves, pick up heavy bags of potting mix or whatever strenuous tasks these guys make look easy. They will even carry stuff to your car if you need them too! OMG customer service circa 1970! Plus you can return anything even a pathetic dead (formerly living) plant purchased 11 months and 29 days previously if you have a receipt - absolutely exceptional!!!! Add to that the extremely knowledgeable hardware and gardening gurus who are willing to offer unsolicited advice on just about anything home handy person related and it's a match made in heaven!! True story - a friend arrived home at 4.00pm after a Sunday afternoon's shopping to find her partner had decided he had the skills to replace their 1950's toilet. He didn't and hadn't bought a new one. After 2 days without a toilet and no sign that he was going to admit that he was an idiot (surprise surprise) my friend went to Bunnings (Mile End) and got coached in how to do the job herself and supplied with everything she needed to do it! You go girl - courtesy of Bunnings!! Send any indignant complaints about sexism and gender stereotyping to Yelp ;-)

It's probably just as easy to go to Bunnings, but if you need to paint something and are looking…read morefor slightly cheaper prices and you live nearby, this Taubmans is worth a shot. A year or so ago, I set up a small gallery in the city with some friends. Over time, we've done renovations, and we've visited this store a few times. It's intended for trade professionals but is also open to the public. The staff are happy to help out with (dumb) questions. For example one of the renovations we did, was ripping up the carpet in the gallery space, sanding back the concrete glue with a professional concrete polisher and then sealing the concrete. The staff at Taubmans helped me find an appropriate concrete sealant, and it was pretty cheap too. You can also pick up standard painting tools - rollers, masking tape etc. Taubmans really only does paint and sealants - interior and exterior stuff. If you're doing any home renos on the cheap, it might be good to stop in here. They have a small range of discounted stuff near the front window.

Great service with lots of good products to purchase, I recommend a visit here. Regards George Wine…read moreValley Tours

Presentation is everything as my mother would say, and this gorgeous store's front gets top marks…read moreevery time. Now located a few shops down the Regent Arcade from their Renew Adelaide pop-up, the store has settled in and the Arcade's vibe suits it well. Stocking the hand poured Zuki & Boo soy candles in some truly delectable scents, this is my primary reason for swinging by. I'm a real lover of a 'natural' smelling candle (as opposed to the saccharine qualities many other scented candles give off) and this stock is top notch. Available is different glass jar sizes and also available poured in a tea cup (with the saucer to match), they make great presents for yourself or others. My current fave is Bergamot & Banksia but the Coffee Bean is just right to get your day started (I work night shift so burning candles after waking is perfectly acceptable at 6pm!). Check the candle 'menu' for some potential favourites and the staff can let you know when they become available (or pour some for you). The store also has a beautiful array of posies and floral arrangements with the ladies happy to create a floral arrangement to your colour palette or floral taste for an excellent price, however I can never go past the gorgeous bouquets often sitting in the store front (and often so cheap!). Succulents at various stages of growth and in an array of pots plus terrariums can be picked up and once again, all very reasonably priced. Other assorted soft furnishings are available, cushions and throws, as well as some stationery and assorted homewares. A great place to find a gift for yourself. I'm a fan.

Having had a good lurk of places to check out over yelp whilst killing time waiting for a car…read moreservice I decided to check this place off the list! It's like a florist for the young and funky where you can grab terrerium pieces planted into clever little pots, glasses, teapots and large jars. Being a fiend for cacti and succulents I went absolutely bananas over the place and was stoked the owner shared my enthusiasm for her awesome little shop! There was so much I wanted to buy but budget limitations meant I just left with a large jar with some little leafy babies inside for the bargain price of $45 (so little considering it has five little varieties included). VERY well priced and lovely woman I want to come back and grab a teapot with some scented candles next time I'm in town for sure so please leave me one haha... so make sure to check it out!
