Brother Baba Budan's multitudinous fans know one thing for sure; the coffee here is Jackson Pollock's bollocks. Weekdays are often full of 9-to-5ers enjoying some of the Brother's amazing coffee goodness under a perplexing canopy of hanging wooden chairs.
For me, it’s the obsessive attention to detail that makes Patricia Coffee Brewers. Everywhere you turn in the tiny space you can see evidence of proprietor Bowen Holden’s obsession.
Scuderia Ferrari’s Formula One drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa served a special Shell V-Power Caffè Veloce to Ferrari fans today at Brunetti café in Carlton, Melbourne.
With a queue of people waiting behind you at the door, grappling for a table, there’s no need to be friendly for goodness sake!! I was happy to discover this was not the case at Coin Laundry.
Fitzrovia has managed to brilliantly bridge the gap between cafe and restaurant. This collaboration between chef Paul Jewson and his long time partner Marco Pugnalioni combines excellent front of house service with a spectacular menu.
Kinfolk has become my “go-to†café when I’m looking for a lunch that’s just a little out of the ordinary.
My God, it’s impossible to keep up with what’s cool. One day it’s converted warehouses in industrial suburbs with tattooed baristas and a roaster our the back; the next it’s…Kew? What the hell is going on?
I knew I was really going to love Penny Farthing when one of the waitresses noticed I was reading Marieke Hardy’s book and engaged me in a conversation about her. As I was there on my own, it was really lovely to have this sort of extended interaction with the wait staff. And then my coffee arrived.
The thing I love most about Pure Italian? That it’s jammed right up next to a Pizza Hut. Oh the irony.
Despite the rave-worthy sandwiches, it is also very important to leave room for dessert. The display cabinet of cakes is filled with yummy homemade items such as brownies and woopie pies. We took home a brioche donut with sour cream and lemon glaze and a lamington. Both were excellent.
It’s sophisticated, a great racounteur with fabulous taste, and just a bit minxy and mischevious.
