Pave Cafe, The Parade Norwood SA
This modern open plan Cafe is beside the Norwood Cycle retailer, on The Parade Norwood. The inside has a cycle theme with cycle memorabilia on the walls. Long wooden tables make it great for groups, with the Cafe spilling out onto the street, making seating selection easy. The coffee is well made by an excellent barista. The service was friendly and welcoming, the menu has a good range of fresh prepared choices. For me it was friendly, accommodating, with a good ambience. Enjoyed a very nice relaxing lunch, will return for breakfast next visit.

Cibo Rundle Mall Adelaide SA
Needed to met a client for coffee in the busy Rundle Mall. Spotted "Cibo" with their distinguishable Red Style Chairs and tables along the pedestrian area on the Mall, knowing that the coffee is consistently good, decided this would be the place. Being lunch time they were busy, I found the service friendly, with very little delay. Enjoyed the coffee as we talked business, watched a busker, very relaxing. Will do this again.

CIBO Expresso Stirling
With over 20 outlets in the Adelaide area, CIBO have to be doing something right. On checking out the new CIBO Espresso Stirling I was impressed. First, the coffee was right up there with the best, secondly, the service was excellent. Being a new Cafe the layout is modern and stylish, with an alfresco area on the entrance to the Stirling Shopping Centre with red table and chairs, which tends to be a CIBO signature.

Colin & Co Rundle Place Adelaide SA
The Logo reads "Modern & Healthy" We found this to be true. The food cabinets had a great variety of fresh delicious food options. The coffee did not disappoint, smooth and very well made, not at all leaving a bitter after taste. This Cafe is opposite the busy bus stop on Grenfell Street, at the Coles outlet. Inside it is well laid out, slate grey tile floor, with comfortable bench seats along one side, with good comfortable black chairs, and marble tables, smart and modern. The coffee machine is a winner, expensive but delivers. Great coffee snack break while near the bus
Nespresso Outlet Rundle Mall Adelaide SA
Nespresso: When it comes to service this business, for us excelled. This is a supermarket for Nespresso coffee outlet. The range is impressive, the coffee choices we have made has been good. Lots of traffic in this store, but you can always enjoy a well made coffee while you wait, no charge, friendly staff. Coles & Woolworths could take note of this business, may improve their service.

The Stirling Hotel SA
The Stirling Hotel in the Adelaide Hills on Market Day is packed. When it comes to having a coffee and perhaps a bowl of fries, to enjoying the making of your decision from their extensive menu, including specials, this Boutique Hotel ticks all the boxes. We along with many other market shoppers enjoyed a couple of well made large coffees, and enjoyed the pancake specials. The service was good, our pancakes were delicious. This hotel is family friendly, with a purpose built large alfresco decked area, over looking the main st. Great morning coffee, breakfast choice.

The Haus Hahndorf SA
The Haus Bar & Kitchen is spacious, but because it is divided into very separate zones, is not cavernous. Very European in style, it has vaulted timber ceilings, large beams and huge linen light shades hung in groups, There is an assortment of table groupings throughout. Exposed brick walls are stencilled with murals depicting Hahndorf's historical German past. One space can be completely closed off for private functions, and outside is a delightful alfresco area over looking Hahndorf's main street.
We ordered from the wide ranging menu, that included specialised German Dishes and delectable Pizzas, A premium Wagyu schnitzel lightly crumbed with sage and onion served with salad, beer battered chips & Dianne sauce. A prosciutto wrapped chicken breast, served with white wine and cream mushroom risotto, sundried tomato pesto & spring onions. Both dishes were of a generous size, prepared and presented to a very high standard and as expected, delicious. The local wine suggested, Sidewood Adelaide Hills Savignon Blanc, perfect. We skipped the dessert menu and opted for cakes from the large display cabinet, accompanied by coffee. The service was faultless, the atmosphere was buzzing, a very satisfying dining experience.

Coffee Club Adelaide Central Plaza
We have found over a lengthy period of time, there are definitely some good advantages, patronising the Coffee Club in Adelaide's Central City Mall as a regular. The food options keep changing, but the coffee is very consistent, the service is always good, even when crowded there is very little delay. First you can become a member of the VIP programme, which will save you hard earned money, they also have periodical offers that are well worth your free entry. This year they were offering to a lucky participant, who swipes their card $100 cash voucher, "YES" I ended up winning the $100 cash voucher. What with Free Wifi, morning papers, good coffee, a discount through the VIP Club, plus entering their promotions, make this a great coffee stop, when in the City.

Utzi Cafe Burnside Village Glenside SA
When ever you are in the Burnside Village, Portrush Rd, you will walk around or past the Utzi Espresso Cafe. This Cafe has very well arranged seating options. All done out in with white tables, comfortable chairs that are white with black backs. The counter is a white granite with black service areas, all creating a clean tidy appearance. We enjoyed a very nice coffee, along with a delicious snack while in the centre shopping. We found the service excellent, with a well organised service team enabling you to be attended to with out a long wait. Due to the location in the centre of the shopping area, across from Coles, the cafe is very busy. But we could not fault the service or food options. The coffee was smooth warm, with a pleasant lingering after taste. Well worth the visit.

Hahndorf Inn S.A
Hahndorf Inn is situated midway on the Main Street of Hahndorf. The advert reads "This is the South Australia taste of Germany" The building is Barn style, large wooden beams, with an inviting main bar made from bolted slabs of timber. The setting is rustic, with a large alfresco area along the street frontage. Just walking past, with German live music playing, diners enjoying their meals, eating outside made me feel hungry. Decided on a German Experience lunch. After all Hahndorf is a German town, so a Herman lunch it is, I chose from the menu, Cheese Kransky, deluxe Vienna Bockwurst, with a German potato salad, Hahndorf pretzel and German mustard. Huge meal, very well prepared. The service was good, without an overdue delay. Finished off with a genuine German beer, which had me leaving very comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost of my meal $14.90 and available all day. This popular establishment is well worth checking out.
The Haus Restaurant Cafe Hahndorf S.A.
When in Hahndorf, we consistently make a stop at the Haus Bar and Kitchen. The use of the word consistent is very appropriate for this restaurant cafe, consistent good coffee, consistent excellent menu choices, consistent attentive service, further more consistently busy. The outside alfresco area has sun umbrellas, along with good seating options. Inside flows through from the alfresco area, offering comfortable large seating options, a generous size service area, with a large cabinet displaying, mouth watering cakes. The ambience is very relaxing, not loud, with good background music. For us, The Haus ticks all the boxes.
Millies Bakery Cafe Mt Barker S.A.
Millie's Bakery Cafe is a very popular outlet, always busy, particularly around lunch time. The tiled cream floor area, blond wooden chairs and matching tables give the place a clean tidy feel. Outside they have added on a large decked, shaded alfresco area, with sliding door access into the cafe. The range of bakery options are plentiful, from a large selection of wraps, rolls and tempting cakes, through to a very good coffee, which contribute to the buzz of the place. The service is good, when you consider how popular this Cafe is. I noted behind the counter staff numbered eight persons, full table service, including free Wifi, national and local newspapers, loyalty cards. The locals are onto this place, so if you are visiting MtBarker feel like a snack or coffee, this could well be the place for you.
