Day 2 of public transporting it and its still going well! No complaints yet!
Darby and I trekked over to North Melbourne where we were meeting cousin Kate and Laura for a coffee. Kate has been a tremendous supporter of my blog so far , so as an out of towner she wanted to go to one of the coffee places I had written about. So after some research on Friday I decided upon a new place I had not heard of and actually not on my MCR list that reportedly made very good coffee: Maison Ama Lurra http://www.amalurra.com.au/ in Howard St, North Melbourne.
I should have been worried when we arrived. The owner had a very concerned look on his face and seemed reluctant to come and serve us. When we were greeted by the waitress we were told some VERY VERY bad news! I think she actually phrased it as interesting news not as devastating as I found it. The coffee machine had broken down! OMG!!!
She obviously didn't have the same obsession for coffee as I did and I was greatly offended when she offered me the tea list.... As if!
The only coffee they did have available was filtered coffee called the Trifecta, Kate and I decided to give it a go! I don't think I have ever ordered a long black, so this would be an experience. To be honest though it did not rock my world, nor did it have the effect I thought it would have- I always imagine after drinking long blacks you were left buzzing on a caffeine high! None of that buzzing felt here!
The food was also interesting and certainly not for every ones taste and they may need to find their niche to get them off the ground, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and come back and try their coffee, lets hope next time their machine is in top form! I might just call ahead to check!

| Seven Seeds - 10 out of 10 |
I couldn't let Kate think I was terrible at picking my places for coffee and we were still in desperate need for a good cup of Java. So we wandered down a few blocks to a new favorite of mine Seven Seeds http://www.sevenseeds.com.au/, surely that couldn't fail us and I knew they had a plethora of coffee machines! One specially there to make Take Aways too! Perfect! ...
Of the two times I have been, I have found Seven Seeds hard to locate, it really is tucked away in a side street and my map reading skills need a little work!!!!!
We ordered our coffees and a biscuit for Darby and managed to snatch some vacant seats so we could enjoy the coffee experience there. From a quick head count it looked like there were about 4 or 5 Barista's making coffees, pretty extraordinary really. This place takes their coffee making very seriously. And we all enjoyed our coffees, I think I have converted Laura and Kate to come back.. I certainly will be.....
And so after a rocky start to the morning my coffee obsession continues...... Still 80 or so more to go.. but who's counting!
Until Next time, enjoy your coffee xxx
Of those times there it is always filled to the brim with people. Word of Mouth Advertisement really speaks volumes here with no signs needed out the front! They even have a very handy indoor bike parking, which seems in vogue for all the cool cafes i have been to lately! Might have to get myself a bike so I fit the bill!!
