Along with lamingtons and pavlova we both lay claim this antipodean beverage, something I always took for granted as the most boring of the espresso-based creations. I never realised the flat white’s controversial origins, nor the fact that it would one day become the coffee of choice for hipsters from New York to London. But the flat white is not the reason I decided to visit Allpress’s flagship store in trendy Ponsonby, Auckland; frankly, I couldn’t care less about flat whites, miniscule coffees are more my scene. I’d been a fan of Allpress ever since I came accross it’s Sydney Roasterie in Zetland. When I first bloogged about them, I cited them as the Kiwi export I’d most like to call my own. So I was excited to check out their teensy Ponsonby store and see what’s what.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/01/cafe-review-allpress-espresso-ponsonby-auckland/feed/ 5
