The Flat White: Australia Versus New Zealand

Didn't realize this draft was finished! Just added some photos, so please enjoy my amateur coffee opinions from AUS and NZ!

If there’s one thing you must know about these two nations, it’s that they have a pretty strong rivalry. There are too many things they rival about to list here, but I want to focus on one in particular: The Flat White. I want to discuss a bit of its history and how it takes shape in the modern lives of Aussies and Kiwis. Continue reading The Flat White: Australia Versus New Zealand

Review: Patricia Coffee Brewers

Tucked in an alley, do be careful not to miss the turning. It has no visible signage and is beside a dumpster. Look out for a neuro diversity mural, people loitering with a takeaway coffee cup and the queues, and you know you are in the right place. A little tiny place artfully done, with plenty of staff to keep up with the queues. Friendly, cheerful and busy.

As a non-coffee drinker, you can’t pass judgment on them. If the queues are to be a good KPI, then yes, the coffee is good. Every other person who walks in besides you had come for just the coffee. A shame really, as their cardamom twist is amazing. Yet, you are also glad it is not very popular for its pastries yet, or you may have none to buy!

You plan to order 1 but for good measure get 2 instead. The lady passes it to you with some sparkling water to quench your thirst. You find a nice spot by the open window and enjoy the moment.

Eventually however, you decide a quieter place with a bench would fit you better when it comes to savouring the yummy bun.

Service: Tip-top despite the hectic business they do. They have adequate staffing for its popularity.

Taste: Think of a cinnamon bun but cardamom instead. Dense with a heft but not doughy and dry. The glaze is spiced, and you have nice crunchy bites of crystalised sugar and crushed cardamom. This is a stunner for lovers of spice and cinnamon buns.

Price: $6 for a bun.

Worth a re-visit: Definitely!

Took my cappuccino indoors at Patricia Coffee Brewers and talked flavors, cupping, beans, and more. They took pity on me and gave me two samples this time.

I genuinely have this blog on post alert/notifications bc it’s just so good, I love the way you think & the poems you choose - do you have any recommendations for poems about/relating to guilt? Hope that your day has been warm & sunny x

hi anon! i also have this blog on alert so i can remember to boost it with my personal, so that makes two (& likely only two) of us. i hope you enjoy reading these poems & that you are blessed with your favourite weather, wherever you are.

Patricia Kirkpatrick, “Survivor’s Guilt” | Sometimes, like love, the neurons just cross fire. / You don’t get everything back.

Kaveh Akbar, “Portrait of the Alcoholic Floating in Space with Severed Umbilicus” | now I regret / every drink I never took        all around          coffee grounds / and eggshells

William Brewer, “Resolution” | I know / that last night five thousand / blackbirds dropped dead / over an Arkansas suburb / and it wasn’t my fault.

Jennifer Chang, “Again a Solstice” | What does it even mean to write a poem? / It means today / I'm correcting my mistakes. / It means I don't want to be lonely.

Meghan O’Rourke, “Poem of Regret for an Old Friend” | A dream is the only way to breathe. / But you must / find a more useful way to live.

Marie Howe, “Magdalene—The Seven Devils” | And that I couldn’t stop hearing it—years later—grocery / shopping, crossing the street / —No, not the sound—it was   her body’s hunger / finally evident—what our mother had hidden all her life.

When in Rome, do what Romans do. When in Melbourne, go Café hopping

Melbourne’s café culture is famous – it has made avocado toast trendy worldwide and coffee drinkers enjoy their special go-to place that is not Starbucks, Costas, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf…you get the picture, there is enough non-international franchises to satisfy you.

Covid-19 had its lockdowns. The world stopped moving at one point. It had hurt the world in such a devastating continuous manner. BUT it had breather life to Melbourne’s café culture. More home-bakers popped up and a good number succeeded into beign a new addition to the café scene.

Part of your plan in Melbourne naturally is to check out the cafés. This goes beyond the brands known back home like Koko Black and Lune. Bibelot too is already an old-hand. Now its time to check out the ‘hipster ones’ that is new to YOU not to others.

But of course, it rains and rains the next day as well. You postponed your trip twice and on the 3rd day, you decided, its time to be a Melbourn-ite. Heck care to the weather, and go café hopping.

First stop, Bakemono Bakery. Reminiscent of a cute shop in a Japanese town, it has the vibes. You enter and you find out at 11.30am that all but the canelé which you have little care for is sold out. What’s worst, its famous garlic bread is no longer in production. The blasphemy!

You hate how your distaste for hyped up hippie places is made truer with this incident. Who sells out at 1130am!! It’s a common thing by the way, so like umm make more! But ok, to each his own. You may or may not, visit Bakemono Bakery to give it a fair rating one day. For now, its where Lune is on your list of go-tos. Not very high.

You now walk to the other end of Melbourne city for another hide-away. Even more articulately hidden, back alley, beside a dumpster…the queues however attest to its popularity. Patricia Coffee Brewers – famous for its coffee and indeed it seems like very ‘HOT’. The queues never stopped, the staff behind the little counter numerous to its size. Coffee after coffee is brewed.

You, however, are not here for coffee. You don’t drink coffee. Nope, you are here for its pastry. To be precise, cardamom twist. It has been a long time since you had cardamom flavoured bread – the last being in UK at a Finnish bakery. The staff is quick but friendly. They pass you your bread and offer you free sparkling water. You find a nice spot by the window, take some pictures, have a bite and look out at the neuro diversity mural on autism. Quite a nice mural, really. Educational and artful. You people watch, have you drink and then head to Flagstaff Gardens to polish off the rest of your bun. Its nice the shop, just well noisy.

Enjoying a cappuccino through a window in an alley, the way it was meant to be.

I plan to come back later to get a human-free version of that mural.
