Five word coffee shop reviews #21: Melbourne, Balaclava, Clayton, Tamarama Beach

Eight reviews in this edition, starting in Carlisle St, then Clayton, then the CBD - and one in Sydney’s Tamarama Beach for good measure.

Good flavour, arcade setting. Recommended.

Competently done take away coffee

Ortigia, 443 Little Collins St, Melbourne
Very nice coffee and lasagna

And now we have one review from a coffee shop in Sydney’s beachside suburbs:

From Judy:
Tamarama Beach Cafe, Tamarama
Good quality, strong beachside coffee.

Where to go for edition 22? Fitzroy has a number of interesting cafes I haven’t tried yet. They even have a place called ‘Caffeine Dealers’. Arouses one’s curiosity, does it not?
