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...

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.

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...

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.

Vertigo Cafe & Bar, Gold Coast, Australia

Mon, 14 May 2012 17:46:22 PDT

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.
