Sometimes when I visit a cafe, I find it hard to put my finger on exactly what it is that makes it special. Proud Mary is one of those places.
Once upon a time, there was bugger all good coffee to be had in this pocket of South Yarra. In fact Coffee Darling was probably the pick of a mediocre bunch and even that wasn’t amazing. Well now there are three excellent options nearby: Crue, Outpost and The Final Step.
I’d like to be able to tell you that I stumbled across Brood Box by combing the city’s laneways, but the truth of the matter is that I had my mind set on a coffee at Brother Baba Budan, when my friend Ross convinced me to go here instead.
What would you say if I told you that there was a new cafe on Carlisle Street serving vegetarian food that was named after the Indian monk who introduced Zen Buddhism to China? You’d be like wow, sounds heavy man.
