A lot of though, creativity & passion has been poured into these establishments so take your time when you drop in Bella & Bello!

Inside there is gourmet groceries (which I love), a gelato stand, fresh rolls and lots of delicious Italian pastries.

I feel a bit torn writing this review! I feel like the food was good enough to warrant a 4 (maybe…read moreeven a 4.5) but the service was... meh. I stopped in here with my husband for breakfast before catching an early train. We each grabbed some mango coconut banana bread, and I had an avocado banana smoothie, and my husband got a cappuccino. Both the food and the smoothie were great. Like really, really good. My husband was satisfied with his coffee as well. Another plus was the location (literally across the street from the North Wollongong train station, how can you beat that? Especially right before a long train trip!). In terms of looks and decor, the place was average. The place itself is quite small, but I suppose most people just come here to grab food before their commute and that they don't actually need a lot of space to sit or anything. But yeah, the service was definitely lacking. I couldn't say they were outright rude, but I put a high value on good customer service, and I'd label theirs as passable but not really pleasant. When I stepped up to order, I saw some smoothie flavours on the menu that were blocked from view before, so I stopped in the middle of my order & asked for a sec to check those flavours (which is good cos I ended up ordering that really good smoothie!). I swear it took all of 15 seconds for me to look it over and decide on something, but the guy at the till acted like it was the BIGGEST inconvenience in all the world, even though there was only 1 other customer in the cafe. All 3 of the staff there seemed tense and kind of negative; the atmosphere inside was not very pleasant. Just not very friendly or welcoming at all. That said, I would go back here again and suffer the glare of the unfriendly staff for more of that mango coconut banana bread. It's a place worth going to :)

You know this particular saying, 'There comes a time where a young man will grow up to be... an…read moreolder version of himself.' Okay, that might not have been accurate, but the idea is there. Kitchen Garden at Rodneys felt like a cafe that started humbly and grew to this fantastic experience that we know today. With its fantastic outdoor seating, amazing food and a beautiful garden store, Rodneys is a fantastic place to sit down, ogle with your special someone, and eat brunch. Then, after you've done absorbing each other's presence -- this got weird -- then you can transition your existence to the garden store and buy you and your special someone a plant... or two. Before this review gets any weirder -- I've just looked at the clock at its 10:23pm, and I'm exhausted -- the bottom line is fundamentally this: Kitchen Garden at Rodneys is a fantastic place to fill the senses. From its delicacies through to its merchandise, I am certain that you will find everything that they have to offer tasty, beautiful, and affordable.

The ploughmans was the right size for the right price, no feeling of being ripped off with tiny portions, the juice was gorgeously presented and delicious.

The separate dining area in the nursery for parents with kids to have room to run around is a stroke of genius too.

Plenty of the stuff for a good serving of wedges. Coffee was decent, but I wouldn't go there just for coffee if in a hurry, seemed to be more of a dining area rather than to go, but they do take away orders and were quite quick with the coffee. I hate having to navigate tables to get in and out, so rather a coffee shop.

One thing you can guarantee on a family road trip is that there will be a lot of pies consumed. The…read morepie is ideal road trip food - fast, portable and can be eaten one handed at the wheel if necessary (make sure it's not super hot inside before attempting this - a mouthful of lava while speeding down the highway can pose some challenges in staying on the road, especially when the lava leaking from the bitten pie starts to run down your arm and fall into your lap). A bad pie is pretty bad. The service station 4n20 is one of the worst eating experiences ever. Fortunately pretty much every country town you pass through will have a bakery that either makes pies on site or at the very least has something better in the pie warmer than the luke warm, soggy 4n20 in a plastic bag on offer at the servo. Today, the lunchtime hunger pangs struck just out of Goulburn. A quick search turned up Bryant's bakery. Apparently a local legend for quality pies. We pulled off the main drag, walked in and grabbed ourselves a few. And you know what? They are pretty good. I had pepper steak and an apple pie to finish. Others had steak and mushroom, apple and loganberry, sausage rolls and curried lamb. They were all good. The apple pie was a standout though. Really nice pastry. We washed them down with milkshakes. Best milkshakes I have had in a very long time. The sort you used to get as a kid - a huge metal cup filled to the brim with frothy milk and thickened with a huge quantity of ice-cream. Fantastic. If you are passing through Goulburn and need lunch on the run, this is the place to go.
