You’ll find it on the ground floor or the iconic Strand Arcade on Sydney’s Pitt and George Streets. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/cafe-review-gumption-by-coffee-alchemy-sydney-cbd/feed/ 9 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/11/patricia-coffee-brewers-melbourne/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/11/patricia-coffee-brewers-melbourne/#comments Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:27:51 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=6003 When someone, anyone, waxes lyrical about cafes in Melbourne, their raving can generally be taken with a grain of salt. But mention Patricia Coffee Brewers and your barista’s eyes will take on a dreamy sheen. It’s the kind of place that every coffee pro dreams of opening.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/11/patricia-coffee-brewers-melbourne/feed/ 5 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/07/3-linger-worthy-cbd-cafes/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/07/3-linger-worthy-cbd-cafes/#comments Fri, 12 Jul 2013 04:51:34 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5591 When it comes to coffee, the Sydney CBD is a great place to grab-and-go. Following on from my list of 3 great hole-in-the-wall cafés, I thought I’d share a few places in the city where you can sit down and savour your caffeine hit, rather than slamming it down on the way to another of your high-flying business meetings. Here are three cafés that, in the midst of the rat race, are more than happy bring you your coffee in a ceramic cup.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/07/3-linger-worthy-cbd-cafes/feed/ 8 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/cafe-review-naked-espresso-melbourne-cbd/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/cafe-review-naked-espresso-melbourne-cbd/#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:37:03 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=5117 The last couple of times I was in the Melbourne CBD, I made a beeline for Naked Espresso, a cute and well known place on Little Bourke Street. These guys use naked portafilters for their espresso (hence their name) but they also tick the specialty coffee box with their selection of ‘new brew’ techniques such as aeropress and pourover. This place is a coffee nerd’s paradise; their blackboards list the day’s brews complete with tasting notes, and they sell enough different beans, gadgets and paraphernalia to keep the caffeine-obsessed happy for yonks. The coffee menu changes often, with appearances from the likes of Market Lane, Axil Coffee Roasters and even Naked’s own house blend. On my most recent visit, there were couple of Market lane single O’s on offer for syphon/pourover/aeropress, the house blend for espresso-based coffees and an Axil single origin as their guest coffee.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/02/cafe-review-naked-espresso-melbourne-cbd/feed/ 7
