Mick’s Nuts on Vulture Street stands as the mecca of places to visit whilst in West End. Perhaps it is the nostalgia it strikes for many. If you ask someone local in the area, they will tell you Mick’s Nuts was around ages ago… in the 70s. This was when the area was not so trendy, yet the store front remains the same.

If you get a chance, go in and have a chat to the ladies in the store and try out some of their produce.
Mick’s Nuts Address: 31 Hardgrave Rd, West End QLD 4101
