speaking of melbourne inspired cafes... i have been meaning to post about manchester press since my close friends and i had breakfast there during my last visit. kathleen had heard about it (she is very in the know when it comes to cool and different places to go for good coffee!) and so we all ventured into the city one morning to gather for coffee and of course to do the sunday paper quiz (the only time i ever do it is with these guys!). manchester press is in rankins lane and is one i'd never been too as i think its still fairly unknown. i approached the lane way from one end and my friend angus approached it from the other. we both had our heads down, following the map on our iphones, which i thought was a pretty funny sight when i looked up and spotted him doing the exact same thing as me! once we had successfully located it, i instantly loved it. it's the kind of place that makes you feel like you are... well in the know, cool and different! from memory they had lots of bagels on the menu, which i am still deciding whether or not i am a fan of. our coffee's came out with the coolest crema art though... gentlemen with curly moustaches and ladies with big bosoms! although i didn't get long with my beloved friends, it was lovely to catch up with them for an early breakfast like old times. and it was a good thing we met so early as it was quite busy by the time we left!
