Melbourne
May 2018
world-class coffee, well-curated independent bookstores
CBD
Manchester Press
Liked it so much we went twice! They have the best chai lattes here, and they've got some amazing bagels (gluten-free available yasss).
ChinChin
Queen Victoria Market
The market is divided into by food and goods.
We unfortunately ran into a gifted salesman in the goods section, who sold us two leather jackets that we weren't aware we had any intentions of buying.
South Melbourne Market
This was like an upscale Queen Victoria Market. I'd go to this one if you had to choose between the two.
Happy Place
Get the turmeric latte or coffee smoothie while listening to live music.
Fitzroy
Easey's Burgers
Three train cars on top of a building, 90s hip-hop, gluten-free buns.
St. Ali Coffee Roasters
Stopped in for an espresso and gluten-free toast (noticing any patterns...) and jam. All the coolest places in Melbourne don't have signage out front.
Rose Street Markets
Awesome place to buy local, well-made crafts, and nice to be able to talk to the makers themselves.
