Brighton, VIC

Tucked in the heart of the famous Were St in Brighton, Balmain’s is an inviting and friendly oasis for locals to enjoy a superb coffee. These guys are a pedigree unto themselves, with the owner Zach being ex Racer and St Ali, and his beautiful Barista Ioalla (ex Ali and 7 Grams) smashing out amazing black gold nectar off the three group Synesso. They are currently using one of my favourites, Five Senses ‘Dark Horse’ and are doing it justice, I assure you. dark earthy tones and a caramely after taste it’s unmistakable. If you wander down to try this place, make sure you say hi to the team and welcome them to the family!

Welcome to Richmond Guys, it’s nice to find you nestled onChurch street just a stones throw from shopping on Bridge Road. A lot of love and energy has been invested in the revamp of Richmond’s historical old Barber shop that sees me now tapping my foot to classic tunes and a bamboo inspired fit out. They have set up Barber Shop 3 months in and pay homage to their heritage and are devoted to the caffeine craft, you will even spot an inspirational piece from local artist Catherine Abel as you enter. You cant resist a moment catching rays on the deck or soaking up the vibe inside listening to the soundtrack of your life as Danny and Tren t kick start your morning, lunch or afternoon with some quality food and passionate brews.

They host an exclusive Barber Shop blend from Genovese that is a powerful pleasure on the lips and all the way down. The guys here have a commitment to good quality coffee every time and an ever changing single origin to knock your socks off. To finish my visit today I am sipping on an Indian Balmadi Estate origin, a creamy mouthful with tones of star anise, malt and a pleasing sweet finish. Divine! Fine! Sublime! If you’re a local, you’ve probably already heard on the grapevine what I’m talking about and they may already know how you drink your coffee, if not, head over and say Hi from MCR!

Elsternwick, VIC
Vote for this cafe

As I crossed the road I wondered if there was a fire near by, but no,.. we have a bona fide roaster pumping it out smack in the middle of Elsternwick, and the aroma was good.

If you are an avid follower of our reviews you need to come on down as soon as you can and let these guys blow your mind. Lots of space, great for mums and suits alike and certainly a centre of excellent coffee worthy of Melbourne circa 2011. Try the Mexican Kassandra single origin if you like your coffee without moo juice, or just ask Jerome what’s good, but Clay is the man behind the roaster.

I hate it when we finish the Top 100 and another cafe pops up and blows my mind. Goathouse cafe raostery is such a place. I’m giving them two beans only because I want an excuse to come back and upgrade them. Amazing work lads.

We are talking a 4am start ladies and gents,..this is serious mum. I dragged myself out of bed, just before 4, and after a beautiful moment when I went to kiss Xenia (yes, I kissed Vance too, but he was in Ben 10 dream world) before I left, her arm reached out to automatically wrap itself around me and whisper ‘drive carefully daddy!’. My beautiful child. I was on the rd with traveller by 4.15am. and took a parting shot off the new phone.

Onwards over the Bolty (eery place Melbourne in the twilight zone between 3-5am I think!

Anyway, the k’s ticked away, I enjoyed constant connection to the internet and listened to digi radio all the way,.. and after a short breakfast in Benalla, I trundled into Albury.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. Coffee Mamma is an unassuming place, but as you get closer there is a sense that this is the eye of the coffee tornado in regional NSW/VIC. I ordered my long Macc, sorely required by now and immediately we hit the first hurdle. This ongoing issue of is the Long Macchiatto a long black with a dollop or a double shot with a dollop? Will the real Long Macchiatto please step forward.

I am a fan of the latter and only ad a bit of water to lengthen the journey so to speak. It’s not their fault, and my sense is that NSW it’s a long black approach and VIC a long macc (If I have lost you, sorry!). The nose was great, but back it went, which is a great test for customer service. If the staff/owner gets in a huff/snooty/short (or charges you for 2) then I have an issue. But no, the lady was perfectly delightful, confirmed what I was after and re-produced the coffee.

What arrived was a flavoursome, long Macchiatto, just as I like it, it was made meticulously and the chattery vibe of the place added to the experience. Surprisingly they only have a house blend for the cafe, but sell a single origin direct for home use (yes, I’ll be taking some home).

The strong latte arrives as a follow up,… its earthy, strong and creamy and flavoursome again. Is a gteat follow up to the Macc and I am in the zone baby!! If you are driving through on the holidays, stop here, mention MCR and grab a coffee for the rd.
