Coffee
has become a way of life for us here in Melbourne. I
could not get through even a couple of hours of work
in the morning without one. Luckily there are just
about an infinite number of independent coffee shops
within a 5 minute walk from the office. The problem
with having so many choices is that it can make you
indecisive, but one that we found recently called
LB2 had me quit all other coffee shops in the
vicinity. Located in the CBD, close to Southern
Cross station, this is yet another coffee shop
located in a laneway (aka alley).
The coffee is fantastic here. Even though Melbourne has an abundance of coffee shops, I really can taste a significant difference between one served here and one served across the street. Not only is the coffee good (they have a lot of variety and consistently bring in new roasts to try), they have great people here too. While this place is located in the heart of corporate Melbourne (a lot of lawyers, accountants and consultants come here), Veng and Emily have become familiar faces to me now but they know their coffee inside and out and they help to create a laid back atmosphere to the whole joint. Anyway, talk is talk but they serve some fantastic coffee here. It is places like this that make me sad when I think about the options back in Vancouver. L B 2
