Chase Chocolate Notes Cafe. Woodside SA

Very comfortable small boutique style cafe. As I wrote this review enjoying a very nice coffee. Comfortable table and chairs, with a display cabinet full of a good range of lunch options. The service from the owner operator was friendly and helpful. Papers are supplied to read. Really like this style of cafe for friendliness, coffee, with a relaxing ambience.

Folklore Cafe Studio, Port Adelaide

Probably the best Cafe in Port Adelaide. Absolutely fabulous situation, while seating out over the water of the harbour. Extremely relaxing enjoying a fine DeGroots Roasted fresh coffee. On offer is a small display of tempting food. I sat in a comfortable lounge chair, relaxing as I looked out across the water enjoying an excellent coffee. If this was Sydney it would be a multi million dollar restaurant. Enjoyed chatting with the owner, told him I will return.

Uraidla Republic Cafe & Bakery

Uraidla Republic and Bakery functions as a Cafe, Bakery, Brewery. The seating area is quite large, with tables & chairs and comfortable lounge suites. The design is modern and rustic, with a very interesting, imaginative, decor. Being a Bakery you have an excellent range of pastries, breads and rolls, with tempting cakes. The coffee is right up there with the best, and the service is excellent. For a relaxing drive into the Adelaide Hills this would be a great place to stop, relax and enjoy. Have decided we shall return soon.

Uraidla Hotel S.A.

When it comes to Australian Country Pubs, The Uraidla Hotel S.A. would have to be up there with the best. The whole set up from drinking at a bar, through to dining areas are a creative masterpiece. From staring at the light fittings, to using the toilets, wandering through the rooms, is a journey of suprise and discovery. We wined and dined last night to what would have to be a very memorable occasion. From entree, mains, a mouth watering Fish Pie, finishing with a dessert to die for, all made for a wonderful evening. The service was excellent, could not be faulted. We left very satisfied with a vow to repeat this experience again soon.
