Who would have thought that the floral plates and mugs I remember using at my aunts place back in the late 70′s would be considered vintage today and turn up as sugar containers at a café? They may not be the same ones but Belljar Coffee in Newtown has brought back quite a few memories of tearing around the streets [...]

Ever since making the move from apartment life in Pyrmont to buying a house in Erko five years ago, the choice of dining options changed from local cafs & Japanese on the peninsula to sticking around the traps of the Inner West. Heading over to Darlinghurst or Surry Hills doesn’t happen as often as I’d like [...]

If someone was to ask who had a penchant for pastry I’d whip my hand up so fast I’d come close to dislocating my shoulder. I love the stuff. I don’t give a toss how much butter or lard it contains, all that matters to me is the flavour and texture and the fact that it’s generally used as a vehicle [...]

Reuben sandwich definition: layered hot corned beef or pastrami with sauerkraut, cheese and Russian dressing toasted between slices of rye bread. I’m sure I’m not the only person to have noticed the quiet and gradual invasion of the mighty Reuben around our fair city. My very first taste of this American classic was almost two [...]

It’s funny how your plans can change in a split-second. There I am minding my own business sipping on a coffee at a café by Rockdale Station when I look up and see a familiar face. This person seemed a little preoccupied and was looking for something herself and when she asked if I wanted to [...]

When I recently learned that a new business had moved into the space of the former Cafe Scrumptious in Erskineville I couldn’t help but get a little curious. Not by the notion of it being just another cafe in my neighbourhood but by the name the new owner chose to use. Straits Kaffe. By the spelling [...]

In 2002 Campos Coffee opened the door to its tiny cafe in a Newtown backstreet with one thing in mind – serving consistently good coffee to its customers. This simple philosophy has made the business grow to the point at which it is today. Recently Campos opened a wholesale and retail store in Melbourne and a cafe in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley two yeas ago, [...]
