This growing chain of cafes, the first of which popped up in Melbourne's CBD in 2004, still has a boutique vibe and plenty of character. Each space is different, with none of the mass branding or soulless, generic atmosphere the word "chain" usually entails. The food changes often and from cafe to cafe, but usually includes hot mains as well as lunch staples like ciabattas (the pastrami, artichoke and brie is a favourite), Turkish breads (the 15 hour roast pork shoulder, provolone and chili oil salami, artichoke, buffalo mozzarella and pesto is the "special" Turkish - you'll see why), baguettes, roti, piadino, and award-winning open sandwiches (how about the pan-fired field mushrooms with thyme, chilli and garlic layered between multigrain toast with provolone cheese and a fried egg? Or the grilled chorizo sausage, hummus, baby spinach and fried haloumi on toasted Turkish bread?). Breakfasts are a cut well above the usual city cafe fare too, and the coffees are made by some of Melbourne's finest baristas (also award winners). A chain with a point of difference indeed.
