The newest café in The Rocks is a happy place. Sit by the front windows of Creperie Suzette, with the morning sun shining on your table, with a steaming café au lait and you can’t help but pretend you’re in France. A fresh crepe arrives, bursting with sprinkles of sugar and lemon, and you’re officially...
Erika Geraerts knows good coffee. As a copywriter and directer at Willow & Blake the copywriting agency she spends her day drinking it. As a founder and director of frank body, the natural skin care brand she spends her time thinking about ways to scrub with it, and as part owner of LBSS the café in Abbotsford,...
The pursuit of happiness these days is as important as it’s ever been. People are doing happiness projects, going to happiness seminars, and reading about how to de-stress and harness their true potential. It’s a thing. And it’s a good thing. One outfit in Burnley has gone that extra step further with the opening of...
The north and the south sides of our fine city are two very different places. The cafes have a similar vibe to them depending on the side of the river that they pop up on, the staff and the clientele too. But Drugstore Espresso, which opened back in 2011, on Toorak Road in South Yarra...

Toast and coffee. Two of life’s most simple pleasures. While some of the health industry is trying to steer us away from carbs and gluten, it’s going to take a lot to make Australians completely abandon a time old tradition. Crompton Coffee on Victoria Street in Richmond and owners Nick Peters and Cameron Green are...
A corner space on the busy Johnston Street, just shy of Smith Street is the perfect location for a café, you agree, yes? Well, owners Greg Brassil and Joe Ventura who opened Addict Food & Coffee last year thought as much. It took them two years to find the space, but we think it was worth...
