The Yard Kitchen. Brunswick Rd Penrith Cumbria UK

What a delightful place for a lunch/coffee break. Located on Brunswick Rd  alongside Morrisons Food Market. On arrival we were made very welcome by friendly helpful staff. The interior is rustic-industrial with a good range of comfortable seating in three different rooms upstairs. Including sofas and chairs in front of a log fire, very relaxing. There is also a tidy alfresco area. The cakes are fresh and quite mouth watering made on site, the coffee is from a local boutique supplier. We were very impressed and will visit again. 

Shape Chippy Cafe/Restaurant. Main Street Shape Cumbria

This popular, multi award winning, Fish & Chip Cafe-Restaurant is a total surprise to find, in Shape, a small village in Cumbria. Quality fish & chips, home made fish cakes, local Cumberland sausage, their own smoked food - halloumi fritters, haddock and Smokey Joe sausages.  We found the dishes we ordered were all excellent, the service could not be faulted, the table layout was good, and we were made to feel comfortable and welcome. The location of Shap Chippy is in the heart of Shap village, which is on the coast to coast route, on the A6 between Penrith and Kendal and just off the junction 39 of the M6. For the five of us we all enjoyed a wonderful dinner at this restaurant, all agreed will return.

CafeTroppo Whitmore Square Adelaide SA

We returned to Cafe Troppo this morning, our last visit was in 2014. The Cafe is still as popular as our last visit. The menus are very good and varied to cater for most tastes. The seating options are comfortable, with outside tables on the footpath. The service was friendly and efficient. I must admit on our last visit we  thought the coffee was excellent, but today the coffee was right up there with the best. If we lived closer this would become our Cafe of choice. Must return more often when in this area.

Original Food Co, Bakery, Gawler St Mt Barker South Australi

The Original Food Company Bakery, next door to the Red Cross Charity Store, Gawler St MtBarker. This bakery, has just won another award, Best Meat Pie in the Hills, we were not surprised. If you consider your self a pie gastronome this is the place, the range of fresh baked choices are excellent, through to a cabinet displaying mouth watering cakes. Lunch time is busy, but we have found the staff very helpful and friendly. There is a good range of seating options inside and outside along the foot path. The coffee is nice and smooth with a pleasant lingering after taste. News papers are provided for your leisure as you relax over a pleasant lunch.

Utzi Cafe Burnside Village Adelaide SA

Being regular visitors to the Utzi Cafe situated in the Burnside Village, shopping complex, Portrush Rd. We found this Cafe has recently changed owners, which to our mind is an improvement. The seating options, are very well arranged, all done out 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 modern appearance. We enjoyed a very nice coffee, along with a delicious snack while in the centre shopping. The service was excellent, with a well organised service team enabling you to be attended to with out a long wait. Due to the location being in the centre of the shopping area, across from Coles, this 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. Good Coffee, free papers, & WiFi.

The Levee Food Company. Seaport Launceston.

It is New Years Eve 2017. Eleven of us had a booking at the Levee Food Company Launceston down at the wharf. On arrival we were enthusiastically welcomed and seated in a comfortable modern open plan restaurant, with views across the wharf to boats that were moored, people walking across the decking. This was not a fixed menu, New Years Eve special. We had the choice of a full varied menu from, appetisers, entree, mains through to desserts, accompanied with an excellent wine list. Even though the restaurant was maxed out, we found all our orders were well presented, with out delay and found the service was excellent. Outside there was life music and just along the wharf a fireworks display at 9.30pm & Midnight. What a fantastic evening as we celebrated and danced to the music and watched the fire works. We will probably book again for next year for a repeat, an excellent night out.

Gracious Grace Cafe Lillydale Victoria Australia

Cafe, Catering, Functions This Modern spacious Cafe, on Castella street in Lillydale Victoria, with the Athenaeum next door, is very popular. We enjoyed dining and relaxing on the purpose built alfresco area, that over looks the Melba Park. Three of us with small children found the cafe a very comfortable place for brunch. The cafe is attached to the museum, so good for the children while we relaxed with a cake and coffee. We found the service good, with a free morning paper, free WiFi, with lots of seating options. A good call.
