Selling clothes and accessories for babies and kids up to about five years of age, this place is so overpriced, you could go to Chanel and have your kid decked out in designer gear for around the same cost. It's not only that, the sales staff are rude, the store is forever closed at inconvenient and random times and the sales prices are an insult to parents intelligence. And in my opinion the apparel is not so nice you'd want to pay in excess of $80 +. Definitely not my cup of tea.

The design store sits here, and sells a range of handmade kids clothes, blankets and other crafts.

Fashionable, quality and adorable kids clothes at thrifty prices is always a great but difficult…read morefind for any mother. For the first time last week I managed to have enough time before grocery shopping to have a wander around Happy Angels, an eye catching store for littlies. Often I am let down on closer inspection of kids clothes at the quality or the expense. So I was rapt and my two children overly spoiled by my new found discovery. Offering the adorable collections you can find at outlets such as Pumpkin Patch but at half the price in some cases Happy Angels made my grocery day unusually worthwhile. Grabbing bargains such as a dark denim jean/white dress shirt/pinstripe vest combo for my one year old boy for just $30 and a beautiful floral springtime dress for my daughter for $20 made me one happy mummy (don't know about angel!) indeed. And there were no pushy sales staff trying to sell me 30cm of fabric for $99, trying to convince me it's such great value at the same time. I was able to look around myself, make my selections and then have a nice chat about what I'd decided on when finalising my purchases. Happy Angels = happy grocery days!

I'm just starting to discover the beauty of Moonee Ponds and the abundance it offers in the forms…read moreof retail therapy, hair and beauty and nightlife. It has become one of my fave new suburbs to explore, and of course I started off at the place called Moonee Ponds Central!! (Where else would you go?) Situated at the corner of the junction, spanning over three spacious buildings from Hall street to Puckle street, and less than ten minutes walk from the train station, MPC shopping centre has everything you need, contained in an easy to navigate facility. Don't get me wrong, it's not the sort of place you'd forsake Highpoint, Chadstone or DFO for, but if you're in the area or new to it it's a great little find. Containing those evil necessary giants Kmart and Coles, the big banks NAB, Commonwealth and St George, a First Choice Liquor Store and a great variety of cafes, fresh food, beauty services, a 24 hour gym and fashion for the whole family. Even a division of Kangan TAFE is here!! As a mother with two young children, I find MPC has everything I need, plus the extras I enjoy in a convenient centre that's easy to navigate with a pram.

Shara's review was absolutely right on the money!…read more Moonee Ponds Central is a great little shopping centre about the same size as Barkly Square in Brunswick or Northcote Plaza in Northcote, except it has a few little bonuses that those two shopping centres dont have too! The most useful thing about MPC is the undercover car park!!! And its free parking too!!!! (the one next to Coles anyway - in the original MPC building). Not sure if the one under kmart is free or not. The undercover parking is perfect for supermarket shopping in wet weather. The centre also contains some other useful additions, including Michel's Pattiserie which gives away its pies and spinach rolls very cheap towards the end of the day and a very good chicken shop just outside the door of the northern building. The centre covers 3 buildings on the 3 streets parallel to and including Puckle Street and they contain clothing stores, food shops, kmart, Coles, a lolly shop and various shopping centre rides for the kids. In the old days, if you parked in the Coles carpark, then the walk to Puckle Street was boring, but now you have the centre to walk through and there are all sorts of interesting things in the shops to look at on the 2 minute walk to Puckle Street!!! As for the atmosphere, you wont find as many cool funky people here as you will in Barkly Square or Northcote Plaza (you will find some though - including myself!), but you wont find it a boring place full of bogans and suburbanites either. Its a bit of both. It is very down to earth and the shop keepers and checkout chicks always take the time to have a chat to the customers - which is a really nice touch! If you live anywhere near the area and havnt been in here, definitely come for a look - especially if it is raining!
