Goldilocks

A quick drink in the beautiful late March sunshine before grabbing some pho and heading to the Shelf

Gorski and Jones

Not the best breakfast - maybe that explains why this place didn't show up in the Broadsheet search

My food was pretty tasty but didn't look very appetising and Reid's omelette didn't look so good and was lacking any flavour.  

There are also a lot fewer people here than I'd expected

New Gold Mountain

Stopped in for a night cap after seeing Wil Anderson, this place is really cool, dim lighting, casual service, easy listening music.

A guy proposed at the end of Wil's show - it was so sweet :-)

Dead Man Espresso

In South Melbourne for our semi regular visit to Chef Hat and the Market.

We're having breakfast at Dead Man Espresso, sitting on the balcony overlooking a little back street of South Melbourne.

The menu choices were pretty standard, but nicely presented. Reid had a variation of the big breakfast, which was alright. I had potato hash and fired egg - it was pretty good!

Carolina

The sign on the window says 'Invitacus Italian handmade shoes for men and children'. But inside is a very traditional Brunswick style cafe with the mid century furnishings, pressed tin ceiling and paint flaking off the brickwork. 

The food and coffee were pretty good - with some unusual touches. I had corn and jalapeño fritters and Reid had a baked eggs variation (eggs in a pan).
