I couldn't decide which coffee shop to feature so here's the first, Store Street Espresso. It's right round the corner from work and a great place to chill out at lunch time and get that kick for the afternoon. Compared with the other independent coffee shops in the area (Wild & Wood/Lantana/Tapped & Packed) the interior's minimal and light which is great. Anyway coffee's really good and so is the food.

Beautiful architecture and setting, ideal place for catching the latest art-house flick or to enjoy evening tea and a journal session. Friendly staff, ambient atmosphere and a wonderful crowd.

Some places are better to be left a secret. This one e.g.

A great club to see amazing performance from the funniest drag queens in the city. I have so much laugh and fun every time I am going.

I rediscovered this place recently having not been for years and now I keep returning. The geological galleries are my favourites.
