A couple of demotions off our Hotshot list.

Our beloved Pellegrini’s, while you do a great spag, your coffee has not cut it for a while. I know it’s irony, but the world has moved on my old friends and we expect better. You are like the old Barry Manalow song Copacabana:

“Her name was lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more? “

Well, we could and we do! We’ll check in again but so long for now.

Also, so long to Dream Cakes Cafe in Oakleigh. This place had a moment a few years ago, but lost their way. Let me snippet a message I got recently which says it all!

[Quote begin]: Dream Cakes
Message just a suggestion.
I have been there a few times but it seems to get worse every time. Staff sit out the front smoking, forget your order. Shout across the room to one another.

Do yourself a favour and close the place down if you don’t want to compete with the other cafes[Quote end]
