James, this one’s for you: critiques of coffee joints in Melbourne. Sprinkled with foul language and lovely still shots of the espresso cups. Love it. Some Advice too:
TIP #1 when unsure of whether or not a cafe will be good, here are some general guidelines that I follow:1. If you see a middle aged owner and a 15 year old waitress, RUN. this will end up being one of the WORST cafe experiences you will ever have. I’m not naming any names, but you know who you are Dundas & Faucette in Albert park.
2. If you see bikes out the front and or hipsters, there will be a solid chance that the coffee is GOOD. I don’t know why but good coffee comes hand in hand with moustache bearing hipsters and tight tights wearing bikesters.
I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that this isn’t just a Melbourne thing.
Love how angry people get in Melbourne about coffee… It’s because they don’t have anything else in their city to distract them from looking into the bottom of their coffee cups. ; )
