One of the joys of working in and around Melbourne and Victoria are the amazing places you come across quite serendipitously. This morning I took a new path to work and found the most delightful cafe ‘George Street Cafe’. With a blustery wind that felt like Antarctica had floated into Port Phillip Bay, I ventured inside for respite for a morning heart starter latte. I was greeted by the lovely Adam and Jonty who were busily making coffees and serving customers. Listening to the cafe ‘chit chat’ it was clear this was a regular for many of the diners. As my hands warmed around my latte, I flipped through a newspaper but really was delightfully distracted by the warm and cosy atmosphere that exudes from this little place. It represented the essence of a community that enjoys and appreciates consistency in the known and friendliness from those they’ve come to hand over their culinary taste to. I watched a few breakfasts being served, all of which looked tantalisingly. The cakes, slices and sweet treats were tempting but alas, I had a breakfast meeting today otherwise the banana cake would’ve been coming with me. Highly recommend George Street Cafe is on your list if nothing more than to see how a good cafe is run. Thank you.
