Now I've moved on to the pizzas. So many tasty combinations of flavors for such a little store! (and all served on a little tray with a frilly little paper doylie thingy!) The whole experience oozes that old country town charm, even though you're only minutes from the freeway. The coffee's not bad either.

We used to visit the Heathfield Deli (as it was known) back when we were kids to grab bags of…read morelollies, soft drink and the occassional pie on the way home from school. Now we go there for milk, the paper and a gourmet hot dog or foccacia. The Deli was bought up and re-done by a young family a few years ago. Now it caters not only for passing school kids (the lollies are still there) and local hills residents, but for the recently landed cosmopolitan gentry in the hills. You don't need to fly down the freeway for a good coffee anymore, or even make the short trek to Stirling when you live around the corner from the Gourmet General Store. Regular general store products (milk, bread, toilet roll and other domestic necessities) are supplemented here by the 'gourmet' menu and products on offer. It's a bit schizophrenic as far as setups go, but the prices aren't prohibitive and it works. It seems odd to find a 'gourmet' general store tucked away on semi-rural Longwood Road in the Adelaide Hills. Indeed, it's odd to see the adjective 'gourmet' in front of the phrase general store, but there it is.

I came across Dimi's completely by chance one day when the local cafe I was heading to was closed…read more This place is a little delight, and its simplicity is reminiscent of the old traditional sandwich shop that no longer seems to flourish an age controlled by chain stores. Dimi's isn't fancy, and you're not going to receive anything spectacular; but it's a nice, quiet little cafe that does some darn good lunch items. The chicken schnitzel baguette is badass - any time chicken schnitzel is incorporated into some sort of sandwich, I can't help but get excited! The coffee's pretty good too, so you can get all of your essentials in the one place. The Kent Town area is relatively quiet and makes for a very quaint experience. It's a wonderful spot to go if you're in the mood for a quiet one. The service is exceptional and the owners are incredibly friendly, and makes Dimi's a special little shop.

There is evidence that some effort went into the redesign of the deli, but it feels unfinished and has done for many months. The staff, with a few exceptions, seem preoccupied and easily confused. The menu is quite good for a small shop, and I've had a few good meals here but they'll need to improve on consistency to compete with the many tasty and often cheaper options just down the road in Stirling. Another important lesson yet to be learnt by the Crafers Gourmet Deli is that having "Gourmet" in your name does not mean you can charge a dollar more per pastry item (especially when you're selling the same Villi's and Balfours range as everyone else) Good for coffee, not much else. I look forward to seeing this business develop into the excellent deli it could be.

Naturally, as a convenience store, you do pay a little more for 'convenience' - but you can dart in, get what you need, and be on your way in nothing flat. There's no minimum orders, and everything's fresh. They also make a great hotdog here, and do a roaring trade to tradies grabbing breakfasts and lunch. Old fashioned service with a smile - well recommended.

They offer a variety of fresh and delicious items, such as cakes, biscuits, pizza, pastries, coffee, bread, and more. Everything we've tasted has been delightful. Make sure to take a ticket when you get there to prevent any mix-ups. Avoid standing in the doorway. Dress warmly during the colder months since you might have to wait outside in line. I will keep coming back. Excellent and courteous customer service.

That won't happen again, forget the franchised bakeries and coffee shops near by, the breads here are amazing! And cheap! $1.90 for a panini loaf, fresh dough, huge slices of Pizza and continental cakes, cannoli, and eclairs, great coffee. The place was buzzing with happy customers today, and me, well I'm glad the carpark in the shopping centre was full, so I wandered across to this gem. This is a DESTINATION, well worth a visit

It is a really odd mix of chairs, tables, wood, metal and black and white stenciled writing, which I am sure many would see as a complete mess, but for me it works a treat. I admit, my eyes were SCREAMING by the end of my coffee break, and I was nearing a seizure, but otherwise I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I agree with Jo B that the Coffee was not the best I have ever tasted, and is really the only reason I haven't given it 5 stars....that and they don't serve beer. I probably would have stayed all day if there was beer! Don't worry about finding the joint....just keep walking until you see the one shop that looks completely out of place and pull up a stool!

The walls and ceilings are stenciled with their name and decorative coffee sacks. All the cute little chairs and tables are full, so I get my coffee take away. Their food cabinet is appropriately themed for the Christmas season, so everything is red and green and very, very sugary. The two women running the shop are friendly and efficient, and help support the fun and positive atmosphere of this little room. It's nice to come across something so individual in the midst of all the typical franchises in this centre. Sadly though, the coffee is mild to the point of blandness, with no real flavour. I appreciate that it isn't made to hot, so it can be drunk almost immediately without burning, yet without the flavour and the hit of coffee, it is a disappointment.

The front half is an Asian take away, while the back is an Asian supermarket. I have to say I admire the owners for mixing these two ideas. Then again, maybe they just couldn't agree on what they wanted, restaurant or supermarket. The take away food is nice, but it's only available from 11AM onwards. When you think about it, this makes sense as it works out to a bit before lunch time anyway. Like all Asian grocers they offer a slightly different variety of stock to the other places. I'm just happy I now have somewhere local to buy Choco Pies. If you've never had these Korean delicacies before then you must buy them. So that's Queen Phoenix.
