Local Area Spotlight – Lane Cove West Shops

Figtree

Lane Cove West is a fabulous suburban satellite shopping area.  It is located at Burns Bay Road (just after the River Road West and Centennial intersection).

It’s easy to find a park and there is something for everyone.  If you love gourmet foods, these shops are a must visit.  It’s also pet central. Here is a rundown of the shops you will love.

Hummerstons Gourmet Meats

The boys at Hummerstons have a real following. If you are time poor, they have some brilliant easy to cook meals (which even come with their own baking dish). Their slow roast lamb is legendary. This butcher shop is so popular that the last time the Pope was in Sydney they supplied all the meat. The Pope and his entourage chomped through 30 shanks, 30 chicken breasts, 8kg of turkey breast, about 10kg of pork fillets and about 3kg of mince. If you have not tried Hummerstons, do yourself a favour and pop in and see the boys.

Fink Chocolate Cafe

Fink Chocolate Cafe is the place to go if you like a good cup of coffee or an extravagant hot chocolate (swiss or dark). They also have some very tasty sandwiches, burgers and salads. In winter, their soups are sublime (and in fact made our list of tasty soups in Lane Cove)

The Beautician

The Beautician is one of In the Cove’s Foundation Sponsors. Zena and her team are very skilled beauticians. They offer a full range of services and their St Tropez Spray Tan is very popular. You can choose from three types of tans:

Classic Bronzing Mist  – whatever your skin type this is the most natural looking, ultimate tan.
Express Bronzing Mist   is St Tropez’s most revolutionary tan yet. It lets you select how dark you want to go by choosing when you shower. The formulation contains fast-acting ingredients that absorb quickly into the skin allowing you to select your depth of colour; For a light, sunkissed glow – shower after 1 hour. For a golden-bronze tan – leave on for 2 hours. For a deeper, darker result – wait 3 hours or more.  After showering your skin is left smooth and silky.
Dark Bronzing Mist – For a spray tan which gives the wow factor leaving you with a deep bronzed look.
Their brands include Sothys, St Tropez, OPI, Clear Start and Becca.

 

 

Infinity Hair

Infinity Hair is another ITC Foundation Sponsor. You can walk into Infinity hair with frizzy fly away hair and walk out looking fabulous. Nothing is too much hassle at Infinity. They stock a wide range of retail products such as Moroccan Oil, GHD and De Lorenzo.
