Start from Outpost, the St Ali family's newest member which has received so many accolades from coffee geeks it is mildly hysterical.Down a relatively obscure alleyway next to the railway tracks, the place is actually tiny. While the barista in charge can come off as cocky, the chef is an absolute gem. They will not mind you getting what I think is the best seat in the place - near the siphon machine, cold drip filter and wee kitchen which serves a tasty dish of the day.
Next, try out Crue, a brother of Sweet Agora which has taken a small spot on Toorak Road near the South Yarra train station and on the same side as Ganache Chocolates. While I must admit that the barista had no luck with me the day I went as I am no fan of beans from Zimbabwe or El Salvador in a single origin form, I think this place still has decent potential.
Grab a couple of chocolates (and homemade ice cream) at Ganache. Then, for an old favourite, Pound is down an alleyway near Bloom Cosmetics off Chapel Street, and still serves a decent caffe latte & lemon tart.
Want more? That is the next round of coffees for us :)
