Local perspective
A city that takes its coffee seriously
Melburnians will cross town for the right flat white and debate it on the tram home. Footscray's Vietnamese kitchens, Lygon Street's Italian cafés, Box Hill's dumpling houses and the stalls of Queen Victoria Market all have loyal regulars, and our lists respect those loyalties.
