When my mocha arrived, it was clear these guys weren’t just brunch obsessed – the skilful latte art attested to coffee credentials. I noted, however, that despite the crisp rosette shape, the milk top looked a bit fluffy, rather than a silky surface indicating a smooth texture.

Flat White
I was at the airport, readying to board my first ever flight to Australia. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I noticed Google’s doodle for that day: a coffee cup with an artistic milk pattern on top – the Flat White!
It was meant to be…
Mount Cafe
My coffee arrived some 5min later and it was a joy to behold. Based on my experience so far I was all but certain it would be perfect – and it did not disappoint.
Milk Jug
The menu was pure breakfast and brunch with hearty and healthier options, finished off with a confidence-inducing drink selection (all the staples with a few brunchy extras)…
Chocolaterie de Monaco
For the grandeur of the city, the chocolaterie was rather underwhelming; I was expecting Willy Wonka excitement, but got an average-sized speciality shop. The cafe at the back was even more surprising – it looked like a recent afterthought, with just a few simple tables and little warmth to the decor.
Tanzanian Coffee
“If you have been following me for a while, you may recall I had mentioned not being a fan of African coffees because of their inherent taste profile: fruity and floral, making them more acidic… You can imagine my surprise then, when I took the first sip – and loved it!”
