The European opened its doors in Kingston on Tuesday, replacing Artespresso. I was greeted warmly and had my pick of tables. I was also immediately asked if I’d like a coffee to start with. Tick.

Because it is an espresso bar, it only offers coffee and a few pastries – croissants, muffins and danishes (today […] Read more…
During my weekend in Sydney, I was strolling through Potts Point in the morning when I noticed a rather busy cafe on Challis Street with outdoor diners enjoying the sunshine.
