Found a little gem in Melbourne the other day — quite by accident.

Whilst out and about taking photos for hours, my energy began to slump for a very simple reason. I had forgotten to eat lunch.

Bare Pear Cafe in Melbourne, Australia

This charming and ‘cheeky’ placard on the sidewalk caught my attention and we ducked inside for some hot food at the Bare Pear Cafe (148 Queen Street). The lunch was pleasant, but what really stood out was the quality of the coffee — organic fair-trade coffee.

Melbourne is usually known as the coffee capital of Australia, so good coffee, whether ‘normal’ or organic or fair trade, is in abundant supply. But honestly? That had to be one of the most flavour-filled cups that I have ever ingested.
