Regardless of the quality of their coffee, its fair to assume they have a sense of humour. At least, that was my logic the first time I tried to go to Whole Bean, on a Saturday, but the joke was on me as at that point, they weren’t open Saturdays (they are now), so I added them to my list for sometime soon. ‘Sometime soon’ came sooner than I thought, as one gorgeous day last week I headed there with my partner in coffee and in life to try the second best coffee in Marrickville. Whole Bean is housed in a Marrickville Warehouse just off Victoria Road, and comprised of a coffee roaster, syphon bar and more edison light bulbs than you can poke a stick at, not to mention recycled coffee sacks and velvet curtains. It’s a cavernous space, and one you can rent out for functions, should you be so inclined. The space is large and there’s plenty of seating, another benefit of many cafes in this part of town. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/08/cafe-review-whole-bean-espresso-bar/feed/ 7 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/05/cafe-review%e2%80%93miss-petty-cash-marrickville/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/05/cafe-review%e2%80%93miss-petty-cash-marrickville/#comments Mon, 30 May 2011 21:54:31 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=1705 Who doesn’t love the inner west? With its rockabilly, gritty aesthetic, it’s mostly-gentrified streets, its plethora of ethnic restaurants. There’s always something to do, something to see. Every day is a photo opp for one of those clichéd photographic exhibitions City of Sydney puts on in Hyde Park about the real/dark side of/contrasting Sydney – a nun smiling arm in arm with a drag queen, a beaming Italian man out the front of his bakery next door to a brothel. It’s a Sydney that may or may not exist, depending on where you are and who you talk to.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2011/05/cafe-review%e2%80%93miss-petty-cash-marrickville/feed/ 12
