I have just read lots of threads on similar subjects, but as businesses change all the time I thought I should ask again. Besides, the only one I saw mentioned in the CBD is Brother Baba Budan (this was news to me :
will certainly try them out next time Im in town, which isnt that often.)
Im expecting some cyber friends from Canada. They are coming on a cruise and are only here for a day. I asked them what they would like to see, sent them some links, and they chose a shortened version of this: http://tinyurl.com/34d9ma They (surprisingly ;D) dont want to go on a cruise and as they have to get back on board their ship by 6pm, no evening activities either. They also said that they will get force fed on board the ship, so wont want to eat much. I thought (having parked the car at Crown) Id take them up the Eureka Towers and have a stroll on Southbank, etc. then perhaps get on the City Circle Tram (it will be a Monday, so no Vic Market) and get off when they show interest in something. So, I need some recommendations of good cafes along (more or less) that route. Having found them on Google and checking in Melways, Brother Baba Budan is a bit out of the way. Besides, it would be handy to know a few, so that I can take them to one whenever the urge for a coffee beckons. We are supposed to be famous for our good coffee, I wouldnt want to take them somewhere where they serve dishwater. ;D The website also suggests eating a pie at the Bourke St Mall, but not being a connoisseur of pies, I wouldnt know where to buy an edible one of those, either. :-)
Any help would be appreciated
