It is a marvelous shop that has been around in excess of 12 years. The store itself is quaint and sweet with wooden shelves stocked up with all the candy you can imagine. The pricing is fantastic and much cheaper than I am used to shopping at major shopping centres. The shop also seemed to have a bigger range of flavours in lollies than major chains so I stocked up on a lot of my favourite varieties. As well as lollies there were also cans of Dr. Pepper at $3 amongst a variety of soft drink in a little bar fridge. In one corner was a display of soft toys and the top shelves were adorned with all sorts of confectionary related objects. In one corner were lollie-dispensing machines - very tempting indeed. The staff member in this shop was just lovely and shared a story about how Mountain of Sweets always gets mixed up with the other lolly shop in Olinda. She was so welcoming that I couldn't resist buying some Wonka Nerds before heading home. The store is open from 11-5 Monday to Friday and 10-5.30 on weekends.

Peter has the locals smiling when shopping at his little store, and his fruit & vegetables are always at a comparable price. Best of all, his produce is fresh, and safe form sprays and chemicals you'll get on your food at any of the large supermarket chains. Aswell as fresh fruit and vegies, this fruit shop also stock a selection of gourmet sauces and pastas, mostly of the Maggie Beers collection. Fresh flowers are also available every day of the week, and the footpath outside the store always breathes some colour into your day. Although it may be odd to review a fruit and vegetable store, they are all different. The simple addition of good customer service is enough to rate this store and give it a shout out to all you Yelpers.

Cute little bakery with delicious baked goods and simple dishes (sandwiches, quiches, salad, etc)…read more Everything was fresh and seemed pretty healthy. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, altho indoor seating was a bit limited (especially for tables; plenty of bar/stool seating). Free still & sparkling tap water available. This place is perfect for a bite after a rigorous bike ride or hike. Service staff is friendly (like all of Aus that I've encountered). Not open everyday so check the hours before you go! Ordered the spinach, ricotta and feta pie with a side of daily salad (green bean and a bunch of other veggies in vinaigrette dressing). The pie came with a side of homemade chutney and the serving size was pretty big (for a pie). Even though it was filled with cheese, it didn't feel heavy in the stomach. My partner ordered the sausage apple roll (made from free-range Victorian Pork) and it was the biggest sausage roll I've seen. Jam packed with quality meat and also served with a side of homemade chutney.

It can be cheesy, and corny; but hey, it goes with it. German signs, German costumes, German food, drinks, decor, architecture. Everywhere you look, it's German inspired. There is even a photo opt with the world's largest cuckoo clock. Of course, it would be here. So the food wasn't to die for; but it wasn't awful either. Average is probably the word I'd go with. Because it's a buffet, I go in with a plan. A little bit of everything to try, and if I have room, then I make my way for seconds. I do wish if they had a bigger range of bratwurst, or if they had red cabbage, or maybe even potato pancakes, or crisp apple strudel... But the desserts were tasty, I really did like the chocolate mousse. And kudos for the music, it transformed your dining experience into a bit of a show and audience interactive. Just brace yourself to meet the von Trapp family singers! For all things German, as corny as it is, I thought it was a good experience and was happy that I came, I saw, and I ate.

At Cream you're able to sample every single item sold using sticks or dipping crackers into delicious dips. All the products sold are Australian, many of which are local and within the state. They're fantastic. They are also very expensive. I can rarely afford luxuries so it makes it difficult to purchase $10 jams, some preserve jars can go up to almost $20, mind you I haven't looked at every single price. It's nice to treat yourself so I like their sodas. $4.50 a small bottle, I make sure I enjoy every drop. The price is the reason I haven't given it 5 stars - that's fault on b
