There is a plenitude of coffee shops in Brisbane; you can get a cup of Genovese, Merlo, Di Bella or Lavazza on nearly every street corner. To have an experience that is unique and memorable however, specialty coffee is the way to go (and in Brisbane, you need to know where to look).
We love the design of this tiny cafe in New York. They have taken the idea of a library and turned it on its head- literally.
