Boxa bar, hurstville Schibello coffee. Concrete floor inside, pavers outside with a few extra seats: a pleasant spot for a coffee, if you can get past the widescreen TV on the wall that is always broadcasting sport. Coffee takes a while, the large coffee is very large. Not too bad, though the first sip is …

Size matters, Wynyard
Size matters, wynyard Merlo coffee. Corner of kent st and erskine st.

Sidetracked cart, circular quay Schibello coffee. George st, sydney. Just a cart against the wall of an office building, but there’s usually a queue of people out front, so I thought I’d investigate further.

Salty dog seafood café and gallery, coolongolook
Salty dog seafood café and gallery, coolongolook Segafredo coffee. For kilometres heading north there are signs detailing the menu of this converted church on the pacific highway.
