(Flinders Lane entrance, rear of Intercontinental hotel)

Melbourne VIC 3000

Get ready, put your sunnies on, don’t look straight into the light, otherwise you will truly be blinded by the pure beauty and raw power of one of Melbourne’s latest and greatest additions, ECLIPSE!

More than a cafe, it is a coffee revolution, that has to be experienced to be believed, a coffee innovation that is the brainchild of the highly caffeinated and totally Cafenatic Joseph Haddad, the king of CBD Coffee. Located at the rear of the Intercontinental Hotel, you can access this cool and buzzing little bean bordello, which is sure to provide the weary pilgrim with a happy ending, as long as it’s caffeination that you are after, shame on you if you thought I was talking about anything else , either through the Collins St entrance or via the back door on Flinders Lane, either way you have hit paydirt upon entry. SYNESSO, MAZZER, beans, latte art champions, smiling faces, ahhhhhh the CaFFiend thinks he’s died and gone to heaven……..

My ristretto is divine, pure nectar of some deity that has me addicted to this blissful syrup, while my piccolo cafe latte, which is incidentally adorned with a 6 leaf fern (WOW, thanks Will!) is a fusion of espresso and milk that is as good if not better than anything I have sampled near or far! This is the ONE!! 3 Beans, pure bliss and a BIG YES from the CaFFiend, you have ticked every box and turned an otherwise drab morning into something inspirational and sublime and for that I thank you.

Yes it’s true COFEE is THAT important!

Go down and say g’day, tell ‘em the CaFFiend sent you, till next time, keep on caffeining on!!

Coffee: ECLIPSE
