Rochelle Adonis Cakes and Confections

Rochelle Adonis Cakes and Confections

Queen of all things sweet, Rochelle Adonis was on my must visit list last weekend. Yes I’d heard about the high teas and the drool worthy desert degustations. I knew I’d never get a last-minute booking for a seat at one of her ever popular high teas but knowing I could walk in and order […]

Piccolos Corner

Piccolos Corner

Piccolo’s Corner is a local gem hidden amongst residential leafy West Leederville. I was catching up with a friend and was terribly late as my car battery had decided to die when I needed it most! After some quick phone calls I made it and was delighted to stumble upon this great cafe. Serving freshly […]

Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon

Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon

I love Afternoon Tea. I even had Afternoon Tea at the Ritz for my London Hen party some years ago. And a  holiday in London is not complete without Afternoon Tea hence our reservation at Fortnum and Mason’s Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon (formerly St James’s Restaurant) on the 4th floor.  Of course we arrived early […]

Lucy’s Tearooms

Lucy’s Tearooms

It’s late afternoon and we’ve arrived at Stow in the Wold in the Cotswolds. After a wander through the town centre  we’re feeling rather peckish and eye off the very cute Lucy’s Tearooms with pretty hanging baskets in full bloom and white wrought iron furniture out the front. It’s busy inside but a waitress smiles […]

Milk Bar

Milk Bar

So we’ve been back in London for only a day and I’m already keen for a decent coffee. I drag everyone over to Milk Bar in Soho after eating lunch nearby. (I was a big fan of Flat White its sister cafe a few streets away.) We enter to a very warm welcome and our […]

The Berry Farm

The Berry Farm

Anyone who knows my hubby, knows he has a rather sweet tooth. Especially for berry inspired products. So it was of no surprise that we found ourselves at The Berry Farm in Margaret River. The cellar door is packed full of delicious produce, all available for tasting – my hubby was like a kid in […]

Cafe Denada

Cafe Denada

I’d hit that mid afternoon slump so decided to take my son and I to the park via a ‘slight’ detour past a local cafe to get a fix of caffeine to perk me up. Upon arrival, I noticed several tables were busy with mature ladies deep in gossipy conversation over coffee and young children […]

Daisies of Cottesloe

Daisies of Cottesloe

Daisies of Cottesloe has been a stalwart institution for as long as I can remember, bustling with locals and their beloved four-legged friends. But today it’s a sea of police officers and construction workers from nearby building sites. Not to be deterred we stumble inside the cluttered, worn looking deli and place our order for […]

Little Cupcakes

Little Cupcakes

After a morning of retail therapy, I can’t think of anything better than a chance to indulge in a sugar fix before heading out for round 2 of the shops in the afternoon. My friend Mara and I are on a girls weekend in Melbourne and we make our obligatory visit to Degraves St. We […]
