When I first stepped in, the staff had greater me but recognised I was new so he showed me around the place (so I know where everything is) before seating me in the upstairs area. The interior is very modern and funky with a nice, welcoming feeling. As it's a cold day I ordered the waffles and a cap. The cappuccino is delicious with a lot of attention to the detail. The waffles are home made and reasonably priced, not many places do their own waffles but these ones were lightly crisp and moist, great with strawberries and ice cream. This place is great, especially for ex Melbournites like me, so give them a try :)

The panna cotta's - one with tangy burnt lemon and the other with caramel and Amaretto biscuit - were a very tasty finish to a perfect meal.

This supermarket could get away with doing a lot less than it does. It sells a range of…read moreinternational and gourmet products that it could easily get away with not stocking. How many people know what Irn-Bru is, let alone demands it? (it's a Scottish soft drink, which they say is "made from girders") They have an excellent selection of local products, that are unavailable in Melbourne. The arcade the supermarket is in, well, it's a bit sad, with two bottleshops, a butcher and a giftshop, but Maxi makes up for it. There's underground parking, but we've never needed it, as there's a good amount of off-street parking.

I'm surprised to have had such an amazingly delicious vegan dish in Bendigo. I'm not a mushroom person but these roasted mushrooms were just amazing (so much flavour). I enjoyed eating this. Wish I could find this dish was in Melbourne so I could have it every weekend! Also had a soy matcha latte (bit on the pricier side) and it also surprisingly good - it wasn't sweetened, just pure matcha powder (I assume) - which is great. I'm giving the dish 5 stars but the arrogance and attitude from staff on a Wednesday morning was disappointing, hence the 4 star review.

Aside from feeling as though you've done a good deed, the produce from Castlemaine Fresh always tastes and looks better. The difference in price from the big supermarket in town really isn't that much and is well worth paying.

Of course you can opt for a donut without jam filling but why deny that extra sugary hit?!
