The uncharted territory for MCR is the northern and western suburbs. The last few years there has been a frenzy of cafe developments including coffee dens, and local kitchen type cafe. Fine and Dandy Foodstuffs would be my personal kitchen if I lived near by. The aroma of fresh cooked food wafts over me as I type and tuck into my long macchiato.

The team here is friendly, attentive and the PBS music wafts over the place like a favorite blanket. If you are anywhere near by, lucky you, if not, jump in your car and make you way here. say hi to Sue and the girls.

One of my pet topics is cafes as work spaces. Of course it’s my own experiences in using cafes as my office that compels me to talk about this but it’s true. I type this in the beautiful Velvet Bar Café in Bay Street of the beloved Port Melbourne, scene of everything Melbourne including a few underbelly hits. I like this place because it’s exactly the workspace that is inviting for people in my situation, including a few powerpoints and internet access. Whether it’s by accident or design but Georgia’s team here glide through the café delivering great coffee and picking up after us without interrupting the business deals going on. All that’s missing is a printer and maybe a bigger screen to use.
