Melbourne has a lot of "instagrammable", "tweetworthy" cafes and bars.
It's reputation for it's hipsterdom is well known and in some cases many think it can go "too far."
But how far is too far?
For many it may be it's latest "Deconstructed coffee,"or it's cafes having you sit on pallets or logs rather than a regular comfy chair.
Mugs and glasses have been replaced by test tubes, milk bottles and jam jars.
Now begins a new trend... A latte served in a waffle ice cream cone.
The perfect winter treat pick me up? Or a hipster world gone mad?
You be the judge.
In the meantime i will sit here writing this in a cafe covered with ironic artwork and graffiti, sitting on a 1960's record player sipping my icecream cone latte (with almond milk) while eating my vegan eggs.
Why don't you catch up with me? No address unfortunately. You'll have to wait for a message with a map showing you the alleyway to walk down and behind some bins covered in graffiti there's an unmarked door.
If you can hear Tame Impala playing on the record player you've found it!
Welcome to Melbourne.
