Coffees Fourth Wave - Designer Coffee Created Naturally

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Flavoured coffee has been around for years and was probably most popularised by the likes of Starbucks and other fast-food style coffee chains who use sickly sweet flavouring as a way to disguise their poor quality coffee product, in my opinion. Personally I cannot understand why people would want to flavour their coffee; however there are very ..

The Cart, Hanoi, Vietnam

Thu, 17 May 2012 02:44:19 PDT

Location: Hanoi, Vietnam Fantastic little watch the world go by neighbourhood place - might be handy if your're staying in the nearby Intercontinental or Sheraton Hotels as it is located literally between the two of them. I had a very decent latte - they use Punto Italia coffee. I love the Vietnamese coffee but sometimes you crave those Italian beans. Also, get this, they do wonderful...


Coffee To Go (AS), Aix-en-Provence, France

Thu, 17 May 2012 01:08:09 PDT

Location: Aix-en-Provence, France Sometimes it’s nice to have a taste of home when you’ve been on holidays for a while. After a month on the road we’ve been craving great Australian style coffee. Don’t get me wrong though… I enjoyed a few frappes in Greece and an espresso or two in Italy, but there’s no place like home. This morning we discovered a great little cafe in Aix called “Coffee to...

Youeni Foodstore - Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia

Wed, 16 May 2012 19:10:36 PDT

Location: Sydney, Australia Just opened this week, and pretty close to their other store - but it seems to be working for them. Pretty incredible looking food and fresh baked pastries everyday - they're making everything in house, and apparently roasting their own beans too. The service was sharp and a little old-school (just maybe the good-old-fashioned-service has returned?!). While I waited...


Almina Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

Telescope, Paris, France

Tue, 15 May 2012 11:38:03 PDT

Location: Paris, France Just up from Palais Royal and the Louvre, this bright little cafe served me a stunning, thick, creamy macchiato to go. With amazing coffee hard to find in Paris, I'll definitely be making a beeline for this cafe again, and will make the time to take a seat and grab a cake too. Shame I was on the go!!


Vertigo Cafe & Bar, Gold Coast, Australia

Mon, 14 May 2012 17:46:22 PDT

Location: Gold Coast, Australia A Quiet little cafe with hide away seating below street level which is pretty funky!! Their New Espresso Botero Coffee is the best I'm yet to find in Coolangatta!! We had their gourmet sandwiches and a coffee for lunch and it was the best we have had in a very long time will be back for sure.
