Nectar owner, Kris Miles is more than your average beer drinker. He's obsessed. What's more - the man loves to cook, knows good wine and his beer shop even stocks chocolate beer. Nectar joined West End's Boundary Street buzz 2 months ago, pulling the cap right off on the best beers from allover the world and landing right on the demand for more variety in beer in our fair city.
More than just your average bakery, the Bulimba Bakery offers speciality breads, deluxe sweet treats, gourmet sandwiches, Di Bella coffee and organic softdrinks. Yep, it's all pumpkin sourdough this and French macaroon that. The best cupcakes are the old-school, simply-iced butter cake style - however there are also the coma-inducing, whole candy-store stuck on top ones for a very special treat.
What do James Brown, Lil Miss Piggy, Madam Butterfly and a green apple have in common? They are all cupcakes! … well at Cupcake Parlour they are. This house of fluff and cream transforms almost anyone/thing into buttery delectable morsels of whipped air and sugar – add some fine chocolate, marachino cherries, fairy floss or bubblegum and you’ve got every cupcake lovers dream all in one glassed cabinet.
Another Easter come and gone. More likely than not you pigged out on choccies, drained the cellar and rocked up to work thanking God it was only a four-day week. (Pardon the blasphemy.) So if you're considering making a few lifestyle changes, don't worry, there's no need to call your old friend Jenny Craig just yet.
The Tea Centre is pretty much the nemesis the bustling café - it's serenity, sweet smells and real time pace are the antithesis of the acrid smell of coffee and the Saturday morning hustle of many a café. Adorned from floor to ceiling with intricately decorated tins containing over 185 different types of tea from all over the world it's the ideal place to buy grandmas presents.
