where? 240 Pakington Street, Geelong West, Geelong. Australia
how? train to Geelong and a cute walk up to Pakington street
my order: soy latte, prawn spaghetti
overall: 5/7
There is nothing cuter then saturday lunch's with my mum and sister, and lucky for us we got to do it at Three Little Figs! This place is just adorable after a morning of exploring the cute shops along Pakington street. The coffee is nothing to write home about but its cheap (mugs of soy for $4. Yes thanks!) The menu on the other had is to die for and I made a hard choice (everything looked fantastic) but was well rewarded. The colors are light, the people friendly and there is a water bowel for the more hairy members of your family. The only thing I would change would be speeding up the food a little but over all this place is perfect and I am already planning my next trip to Geelong just to try a few more menu items!

Little Henri
where? cr. dundus street/high street Thornbury. Melbourne. Australia.
how? 86 tram stop 42 (north)
my order: soy latte, breakfast bun.
overall: 4/7
Little Henri was a place I couldn't wait to visit because it's so close to my place that it's opening was a beacon of hot coffee on a hung over morning. The setting is wonderful, the style is amazing and the people are nice, but to my disappointment it has none of the heart I was hoping for. The coffee was good but you pay extra for soy (a horror in this part of town) and it's already pretty expensive. The food is much better, everything looks completely amazing, but again it's pricey and they don't take card. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not that fussy, coffee is fine, food is good but Little Henri is still lacking something that i cant quite put my finger on. Perhaps it was the music (very clubby and loud for a tuesday morning at 9am) and the fact that the space is huge so even when it was filled it felt empty. Overall i'll be back because time and coffee matters, but for lovely brunch with friends or family I'll be hunting for somewhere else with more life, heart, and smiles.

Large Soy Latte Please.
Coffee is one of life finest pleasures. I prefer mine with soy milk and a little foam but in the interest of the general reader i'll drink it any way it's being offered, hard life huh? Hopefully the blog will take me (or rather I will take it) around the world and right back home again, because im sure as long as there is some sunshine, a good book or two and a nice cup of coffee around I'm pretty much set.
