How do I like to spend my mornings in Melbourne?
Making my way through alley ways, with the hope of finding a good cup of coffee.
The sun was up, and the sky blue. A rare and beautiful 23 degrees as my legs took me right to Somerset Pl.



Drawn by the contemporary jazz music playing from inside, and the friendly waitress that wished me a good morning as she prepared fresh breakfast rolls.

Exactly what my morning needed.
I sat myself comfortably along the bar.

 
 

This is a bike shop, that is also a coffee shop. I admire the walls decorated with bicycles, while trying to find the connection between mules, bikes and coffee.



My coffee arrived; a long mac.
The first sip, made me smile. This is a good cup of coffee, I said to myself. I look at the small menu and noticed that it is actually a supreme south blend – a dry spice aroma with low acidity finishing with strong notes of malt and chocolate.
I’m not a coffee expert, I usually just go by what my taste buds perceive as “oh, this is good” and “oh, not to my taste”.

I actually did not intend to order food while I was here; hoping to save my stomach for when I meet a friend a little later on in the day.
But as I heard the words, “pulled pork sandwich” float through the air,
my eyes automatically caught the waitress preparing the bread on a plate and mounting it with just cooked, steam still wavering up, shredded pork.
I said to her, “that looks good”. And she commented back that it really is. And just like that, I was convinced and got one.



No regrets.
The generous sandwich also came with salted crisps and a gherkin.

food: 4.2 Choos.
drink: 4.2 Choos, coffee.
service: 4 Choos.
feel: 4 Choos out of 5.

Overall, a great find.
