Aside from a pretty cool name, The Grounds of Alexandria could just be my new favourite spot in Sydney. I mentioned my visit briefly on Monday, but had to give you a full idea of the place, should you find yourself in the area. It seems wrong to know about this jewel in the heart of Sydney's industrial suburb and not share it with you (even though I secretly want to keep it to myself…) I get the feeling The… Read more »
I mentioned my recent cafe hop around Brisbane and the sheer luck I had stumbling upon brand spanking new cafe, Two Trees in glorious West End, the heart of Brisbane's bohemia. The first day we saw it, the young guy yelled out to us that it was their grand opening the next day and we should come back then. So we did. We had a great coffee at Two Trees on their grand opening day. It's exactly what you would… Read more »
As I mentioned last week, my time in Brisbane is becoming synonymous with cafe hopping – what else do you do when catching up with friends? I am going to warn you, although I've tried to keep each recap brief, the quantity of cafe's visited has resulted in a pretty large post. If you live in Brisbane or ever spend time there, this could be pretty helpful though! My list is purely the order in which I drank the coffee… Read more »
If you know me at all, you know that when I discover something, I want to share it with…EVERYBODY. I get excited about things easily and I think that other people would benefit from the knowledge of said things. My latest thing, however, probably won't benefit you unless you live in or regularly visit my hood (my apologies, in advance). Bean Drinking in Crows Nest (North Sydney) is my new favourite coffee haunt. To say that it is out of… Read more »
While I was in Brisbane, Dad and I decided it would be the perfect time to check out the latest cafe hotspot in Brisbane – Dandelion and Driftwood. It was recently rewarded 'best cafe in Brisbane' over a number of our favourite coffee places and so we braved the terrible Sydney-like weather and dragged my mum along for brunch. Even though I could barely make out the place through the sheets of rain, I immediately knew that I was going… Read more »
I feel most lost in my life when I'm not actively following my dreams or when, instinctively, I'm heading off course and my goals are no longer relevant to my current circumstances. I know that probably comes off sounding totally nerdy, but from my experience, when I write down or distinguish clearly defined dreams and goals, stuff starts happening for me in freaky ways. It makes me sad when people I care about want things and don't think it will… Read more »
To say that I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time in café’s would be no exaggeration. I love everything about a good cafe – probably due to my intense desire to one day live in Paris and spend my day doing little else than sitting in one, drinking coffee and eating pain au chocolat…Also, I will probably be very fat, but I'll be so happy. A good café, in my opinion, can be one of the most inviting places –… Read more »
