The [Coffee] Hit List

One of the best things about Melbourne is the cafe culture! We have an abundance of fantastic coffee served in the best cafes!

And, as Jane so eloquently put it over at espressomelbourne.com:

One of the best by-products of Melbourne’s endless café boom is that you become a tourist in your own city. You follow the coffee aroma smoke signals to some nuggetty little pocket of town that isn’t on your train line and bam! There near the dusty IGA and the old-school pharmacy, you’ll find some java magic. (from the review of The Premises, espressomelbourne.com)

So, this page is dedicated to the exploration of the best of the coffee that this city has to offer!
