Hands-down one of the best coffees in Melbourne, pour-over miso soup, ochazuke. A breakfast to be reckoned with.I love you, 279 Victoria St. Onigiri/musubi with mackerel and spring onion, and with mustard greens and sesame. Throw in what I think is hands-down one of the best coffees in Melbourne plus pour-over miso soup and ochazuke and you’ve got a breakfast to be reckoned with.
