It's a sad day that gets too hot for coffee, but I hope, like me, you managed to sneak one or two in this morning.
I'm currently conducting very scientific experiments to see whether I can taste the difference between skim and full cream milk. It involves changing my order every time I have a coffee so that both my local baristas and I are never quite sure what I ordered that day. If I can't guess, I win.
Today, however, I couldn't stir. No teaspoon. A word on Redfern cafes: it's possible their employees are on drugs. At least they're the friendly kind. They just need a little prompting.
Does anyone else think that Franz Ferdinand's Do You Want To sounds awefully like "Well Tia, Tia TiaJuana!" and nothing like the Received Pronunciation its title is purporting to speak?!
And a note to Miss Barista, the cafe you're thinking of is Varga Bar Expresso, at 100 Wilson Street, Newtown. I'll be reviewing more Newtown cafes shortly, and will be sure to include that one!
In addition, the distinction between types of coffee will certainly be getting more airtime - respect the different species!!!
Thanks also to Mythtery, could I assume that is Doppio Expresso at 284 Pitt Street? Not so much atmosphere, guess it's more a take-away choice. (which are just as important for those of us with busy lives!)
I just want to leave you with something unrelated and bizarre. Because, well, I can. Get into it!
Here's a parallel universe for you to visit
