I really love melbourne for its artsy and hidden gems, love trying new places and grateful for exploring and finding these places.... One that I have heard about for a long long time but never actually looked it up is Seven Seeds. I was surprised to find that it was just around the corner from Melbourne uni which I frequent regularly. So onto Berkley street it was... and if I did not have the address, I would have never found the place. Ordered my usual testing coffee... skinny latte. It was nice, not the best coffee I have ever had, unusually sweet roast, with not much of a nutty taste. Milk had a nice texture, not burnt and the coffee was well extracted and not burnt. Pair this up though with the awesome artsy atmosphere, I think it is still a wining combination. A place I would visit frequently if I lived in Melbourne.

the only signage indicating the shopfront.

bustling atmosphere inside, i counted 3 coffee machines each with 3 group heads. AWESOME...

4ONE Day-8-11JUN11

Waking up and staying awake has been such a struggle over these past few weeks. Thank goodness that when I have time, I can wake up, turn on my espresso machine, tamper some granules, extract some liquid gold, stretch some skim milk and have myself a wonderfully fulfilling cup of coffee. Smell of roasted coffee grounds wafts through the kitchen, smooth velvety milk washes over the tongue, creamy, nutty, coffee taste rolls tantalizes the tastebuds and the caffeine hits the AWAKE button in my brain. Just what I need to get ready for an intense day of revision.

Hope everyone has had a great Saturday. The weather has been miserable, but what better excuse to stay indoors, cuddle up with your favorite book or person and stay nice and warm. Thats what I would do if I wasnt studying... and back in Adelaide.

If out in Geelong, hit up Cafe GO for a great drop of coffee. The grind is great, milk is awesome and service is really really friendly. If you are hungry, even the food isnt too bad!
