You've only got to spend a couple of hours in Melbourne to note just how much Melbournians love coffee and its not like they enjoy coffee, no no no... they LOVE coffee. Melbourne is obsessed with coffee,so much so that they are playing host to the international coffee expo this year. Every second shop on the street is a coffee shop. No big coffee chains here but rather cool, chic and trendy independently owned stores, each with their own individual flare when it comes to interior decor. And most importantly everyone has their own favorite shop and coffee blend. Something you'll find out very soon after starting work in Melbourne is that a lot of meetings are held over a coffee so be prepared for the heinous task of walking outside in the glorious sunshine before ducking into an awesome little coffee shop to try out one of their many many blends of coffee.
This article from Weekend Notes gives some interesting info on the types of coffee shops around. From those that do just the traditional 'black' and 'white' to those that offer all the trimmings and flavours known to man!
We need a month of Sundays to explore the different cafes just in St Kilda but we have three more weeks here and we're damn sure going to try!
