The Gold Standard

The recent excitement of getting a decent caffee latte in Yarraville was somewhat overwhlemed by the reminder of what lustrously smooth delights are found in the city's traditional outlets. A quick visit to Atmoica in Brunswick St restored my respect for a truly superb latte, complete with artisticly expressed froth and divine friand accompaniment. And the gold standard that exceeds even that of Atomica, Rays in Victoria St Brunswick, leaves me in awe and adoration of the barista's art. Coffee is not just a drink, it's an indulgent pleasure and one that can be heightened further by offering culinary options that match the caffeine seduction. That is what yarraville still lacks.

Melbourne's best sausages and mojitos are one thing, but neither of them are suitable companions to a creamy latte are they?
