They don't necessarily carry the full range of cuts you may find elsewhere, but if you're looking for some prepared meals that just require you to throw it on the BBQ, in the pan or into the oven, Webster's does a good selection of pies, roasts, baked packages and not to forget their sausages.

Its located in a part of Church St that you usually drive past without noticing so I'd never seen it before. Doesn't look much from the front but when you walk inside you can see that they have a large outdoor terrace at the back and inside is fitted out really well. There were plenty of brekkie options, the service was quick and friendly and the food was really fresh and full of flavour. The prices were also really reasonable and brekkie for 4 people was just over $60 with everyone getting a meal and a coffee of some type. The one thing that struck me as quite amusing is that there is a big 'halal' sign out the front yet several of the dishes come with bacon. So anyway I tried their halal bacon and damn it was good!

Slow service, around 20 minutes to prepare a sandwich and when it did arrive, the order was incorrect and not enjoyable - you don't toast salmon and capers to death! ( plus no chips or salad ) No excuse, as the cafe was not even close to being busy. It's a nice looking cafe and the staff were friendly, maybe I just caught them on a bad day, so might give it another chance.

I'm a regular at Harris Farm Lane Cove and always love it, but a recent experience with a team…read moremember named Zeron truly stood out. I was in a frantic rush to get to my daughter's school musical and had grabbed a gorgeous bunch of roses with coloured baby's breath. The flowers had been sitting in a jar of water and the bottom half was unwrapped -- and this mattered, because we were giving them to one of the leads in the show who wouldn't finish performing until 9pm. It was only 5:45pm, so the flowers needed to stay hydrated for over three hours before they'd even be received. The in-store florist had already finished for the day and I had no idea what to do. Zeron, who was near the cashiers, came straight outside to help. He grabbed a freezer bag from the fruit section, added water, wrapped the stems in tissue paper, secured it all with a rubber band, then finished the whole thing beautifully with florist paper and a decorative tie. It was creative, practical and looked wonderful. He was calm, quick and genuinely kind the whole time. We made it to the show on time and the flowers were still perfectly fresh when presented after the performance. Zeron is exactly the kind of person who makes a local shop feel like community.

They really focus on natural, organic, Hugh quality items - if you're from the US, think Whole Foods.

Well sure enough, on the north bound side of the station, past the gate and up the hill is indeed a little cafe. When I walked in here I was buffeted by delicious smells of bacon frying. Glad I ate at home so I could avoid the temptation, I sat down and ordered a dbl mac. "A what...??" Yeah... so they don't really tick the passion box, but serving Toby's Estate helps them out a lot. So what did I get? Well naturally it was over espressed. They only used one shot espressed twice... and there was a bit too much milk foam, but they got brownie points for not adding too much milk. All up, if you are running for the train and need a coffee, these guys won't do you wrong.

The English was reasonably priced but pretty basic and unfortunately did not feature the obligatory black pudding. Crepe was tasty and light.

Keep the coffee regular size to increase your chances of a reasonable strength brew.

One of a couple of business's that occupy the lot on the corner. What it is, is basically a warehouse full of alcohol. Like a Bunning's Warehouse of booze. It's huge. Wine's as far as the eye can see and a wide selection of beers and spirits. Ice is available in their freezers and bits and pieces necessary for a party are sold here as well. There is a parking lot out the front and trolley's are available should you be requiring a large amount of grog. While Amato's isn't the cheapest bottle shop, that's not to say that it's expensive, but it is not a discount retailer. Ideal for parties, when you're looking for a brand of beer or wine that is hard to get your hands on and when you're really really thirsty.

People…read moredriving past on their way to Haberfield and Five Dock may have noticed but have never been interested in what lies inside the building. Go past the brick wall and around the corner into Norton St and you come across the driveway and parking area for Amato's Liquor. Amato's is a large warehouse-sized (600 sq ft) liquor store that carries wines, spirits and beers from all over the world but apart for a huge range of Australia wine specialises in Italian wines. They have a wonderful selection at all price points so that anyone with an interest, be they novice or confident connoisseur can purchase a bottle of vino Italiano. However, the rest of the world hasn't been left out, 35% of their stock is imported. Like all other liquor stores, they have wine in the fridge, which on a Friday night comes in very handy as there are so many BYO restaurants in the area. They also have case deals for people who want to buy in bulk. A cool-room especially to keep the beer nice and cold is at the front and the spirits and liqueurs are in easy reach on the wall facing the front of the store. With thousands of products in store and over 250 beers, the store can be a little overwhelming but Franc, who owns the store has plenty of help and they are always ready to suggest a product if you're not too sure what to buy. There's parking for about a dozen cars at the front of the store which is handy as there's no street parking at that point in Norton St. Also available: * Panetone (at Christmas) * Ice * Wine Accessories * Pasta / Sauce / Oil * Soft drinks * Confectionary * Glass Hire

These guys do cakes and cookies... quiche and bread... a range of meat pies.... and (most importantly) it is all great value and delicious. The last time I came here I grabbed the baked cheesecake and a mac. The cheesecake was awesome. Best part was that as a single tart like serve, it was not too small or too large to munch through contentedly. The mac had too much froth for my liking, but once removed, the remainder of the mac was great. Only annoyance is that when removing some of the froth I lost some of the crema and coffee oil... So if you desire good coffee and cake and don't feel like paying $5+ for something sweet, then this place is for you.

For me, James' Cafe is more of a mid-morning hang out - especially if I'm going to catch a matinee at Roseville Cinema.
