It’s not every day a café’s burger draws you in
to try their coffee but with our latest Coffee Club venture that is exactly
what happened.
A couple of weeks ago one of my work besties
brought a takeaway burger for lunch and offered me a piece. If I could describe
the feeling when I first tasted it, it would be that bit in The Wizard of Oz where everything is
black and white and then she wakes up in Oz and it’s all colourful and amazing.
That is how good it was. And as a Fat Kid, that means a lot.
So when I found out they also open up early, I
thought why not give it a try. Latitude33 is located on uber-cool Bree Street.
So I’m not gonna lie I was expecting a whole bunch of the so-hip-it-hurts crowd
but perhaps we got there a little too early. Or maybe they’ve already moved on,
they’re that cool. The crowd was actually nice and mixed and we sat next to a
group of businessmen who always have a breakfast date there every Friday. It’s
like a grownup version of coffee club.
Anyway back to the coffee. We ordered some
lattes, some Americanos and a soy latte. The feedback was mixed. I enjoyed my
latte but those having the Americano and soy latte were not as pleased.
The décor on the other hand we all agreed was
awesome. If you like laid-back and comfy this is a the place. If you like
surfing, this is your mecca. The café has a massive Bali influence and there’s so
much more upstairs. That’s right, there’s an upstairs area that sells clothes
and art.
If you wanna go and try the coffee and report
back, please let me know. I’m hoping it was just an off day. If you wanna go
and have a burger, please call me. I will not hesitate.
