The menu just leaves me underwhelmed. Not because it isn't good our meals were decent (my vego sandwich - pumpkin, lentils, haloumi and rocket was a filling and reasonably healthy option for Saturday lunch). It's just that I feel the owner, one of Brisbane's most lauded chefs, could have taken more of a punt to bring together a menu that was bold and full of something more than a pasta dish, some hearty winter options (shanks) and open subs. I acknowledge this also could be what they're going for so that it is accessible to many. Perhaps as the weather warms and salads return to the menu this spot will truly shine. The prices are decent. $12-$14 for more subs and your most expensive mains being the lamb shanks at $24. Breakfast ranges from $10-$18 for their version of the big breakfast and there's a dedicated kids menu for breakfast and lunch. They'd run out of glasses on our visit and the service was a little patchy. From ordering to eating lunch there was a 45min wait for our meals (a rueben sandwich, a vege sandwich and a chicken salad to be brought to our table). And coffees that were ordered long after others were delivered first with us having to follow up on the others. Still, each time I've been at the home maker centre it's full. Which shows that it's a gem in a sea of hungry home shoppers wanting more than McDonalds and locals alike.

Both visits I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese roll with tomato chutney, which despite its small size is considerably filling (so good, I ordered it both times). We also sampled the biscuit with cream and jam which was dense but fluffy, warm and delicious. My husband loved his smashed avo on toast. The coffees are mild and well-crafted. Would definitely recommend for a relaxed breakfast or lunch.

Thankfully, Samarco 2 did not disappoint. Their spaghetti marinara was packed with flavour and was chock full of plump prawns and fresh mussels. The rest of the meal was equally good - especially dessert but you can't really go wrong with crème brulee. My only concern is that it's very expensive for a suburban Italian cafe - entrees and salads are around $15 -$20 and the mains range from $20- $35. For those prices, I would probably prefer to go into the city where I could get equally excellent food at a nicer venue.

We happened to be driving around Midde Park to put flyers for our business up (turns out, there are…read moreno places with billboards anymore), and noticed this new swanky shopping centre which used to be the daggy middle park shopping centre. Where on earth did this pop up from... and we live around this area. It seems a little out of place considering the surrounds and the general middle park area. Samarco 2 stood out like a sore thumb on the corner outside of the main shopping centre itself. So we thought it's hot, let's sit down in this nice looking alfresco restaurant. Don't know if it was because it was in the middle of the day, or they were a waiter short... not only were we shocked at menu prices for the location, but the place was a bit posh looking we chickened out and didn't just walk away. Big mistake. We waited to be served, I had to get up to ask if there was table service or not, then our food took forever to come out... but when it eventually did, it was very yummy. I ordered the Mexican Beef Salad (wasn't this an Italian Restaurant?) and noticed there were Szechwan Duck Spring Rolls and Nasi Goreng on there as well.... wasn't it spelt Szechuan? What are they doing putting asian food on the menu with italian pastas... oh no not again with the fusion. So the food was nice, but very expensive and they confuse me with their menu a little, mixing the original italian cuisine with a hodge podge of others I find... somehow cheapens the posh looking place... also they should spell check the menu. Try it out, but it's a little weird.

I have a soft spot for this little cafe in Jindalee. A year ago, this cafe was completely flooded…read morepast its ceiling. It was very sad to see this small business go through something so devastating. That is one of the reasons why I am passionate about supporting this cafe. That and because they make pretty good coffees and have a wonderful selection of cakes and lunch time fares. The lady who owns and runs Coffee Etc is really lovely. She has a great grasp on what good customer service is. You can have good conversations with her as she's so easy to get along with. The cafe itself is very cute. It has simple furnishings but with gorgeous little touches, like cushions on the corner of the chair. It has a great vibe and is very family friendly. If you come here, make sure you get one of their loyalty cards and take advantage of their 'one free cookie with the purchase of your 5th coffee' and 'one free small coffee with the purchase of your 10th coffee'. For anyone who was affected by the floods and in particular those in the Western suburbs of Brissy, I would strongly urge you to support and check out this lovely little cafe in Jindalee. When you do, you've got to try the macadamia and chocolate brownie! So good!

If it wasn't for the A Frame sign sitting on the road I would have missed it too. People can always do with a coffee... like me. So I walked my tiresome child strewn self in here to find the atmosphere a bit box-like (maybe because the store was a bit small) but the customer service excellent. Very friendly, chatty not not overly and the coffee to be good. I have tasted better coffee but this coffee was good. I had the Chai Latte and ordered a Cappacino for my husband. It wasn't 'oh my gosh this is so good' type coffee but it was definetely a 'very comforting' feeling coffee. There was a bit of constuction going on nearby so I can't say the atmosphere was the greatest but it's worth a check out.
