This isn’t the 5 best in Melbourne, you understand - it’s simply the 5 I visit most regularly.
Parkers Cafe - Parkers Rd, ParkdaleBest coffee in this part of Melbourne. Food is also excellent. Open evenings, and free water for dogs.
Kafe@Chelsea - The Strand, ChelseaFinally, somewhere with decent coffee in Chelsea!
Coffee Traders - MorningtonWow. I’m not worthy. This place is up there with the best inner-city cafes. The coffee will rock your world, I guarantee it.
Espresso Hit - Charman Rd, CheltenhamNew mini cafe in Cheltenham that ticks all the right boxes.
Beach Box - Nepean Hwy, BonbeachNot as good as the others listed above, but 10 times better than the place next to it, making it the best cafe in Bonbeach. Very comfortable chairs, friendly service and drinkable coffee.

I’ve been thinking about writing a post about all the Russian music I’ve been discovering since I’ve started learning that language, but I’m not sure that anyone would read it. So if you are, please say so, or else it might not happen.

I am interested in Russian music. I would read the post if you have the time to write it.

kafe@chelsea was indeed a breath of fresh air. It took them two weeks to produce a decent cup but they’ve been consistent ever since. I’m installing a hotspot there soon for a trial run and it will be privately managed rather than one of those bigpond/optus/credit card affairs.
The trial run will most likely be 2 hours/80MB (whichever comes first) of internet access with a purchase. With any luck, kafe@chelsea will be one of the only cafes down the east side with a privately run hotspot, or even any hotspot for that matter (I don’t count Seaford milk bar opposite kananook creek, that’s just wierd … yes, they have a hotspot).

Hello,
I watch music from ORT Russian channel on the Astra satellite. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays show the best artists. My favourite is Alla Pugacheva. Good Russian rock groups are Nautilus Pompilus, Chaef and Aquarium. How about you?

Pete, I didn’t like the coffee as much as you did, but the service was good, the scones were great and the seats were very comfortable. And now there is no drinkable coffee in this suburb - very sad.

Russell, I notice those are old groups. I am mostly into the newer ones, such as Leningrad, Ya i Drug My Gruzovik and Lyube, to name a few. I do like Kino, though.
