Have you ever though that less a bar has more successful is. I mean when the furniture is cheap, benches and crates outside, leftovers from somewhere, and sofas from the Opshop, than people are more attracted by the place. Weird but in many cases the cafés are like that. Wall Two 80 is a typical example. This is not to say that food, coffee or service is cheap as well, both in quality and/or price, as indeed it is not the example for this café. Let's make clear one point, the latte is good, and you can spend easy a good part of the morning outside, seating on a bench, reading your newspaper, enjoying the people around. They have also a good choice of food, though not the best, not as good as
Las Chicas which is just across the road, so, if you feel hungry, just walk twenty meters more. What I really loved of this place is inside. The idea to keep some wall with windows inside the bar is very appealing, it was an architectural choice that costed to the bar, they could otherwise fit more table, but the end result pays back in my opinion, as it is quite unique. And you need to be unique in Melbourne, with so many cafes, especially in St.Kilda East, or better say Balaclava.
The crowd here is not as young as in the other places, 30s and 40s, and this makes somehow the place more interesting, and mostly not as loud as other cafes I have been. As end result, a really nice interior and average breakky. I would visit it again, yes, why not, I felt quite relaxed and you need that in a morning with hangover!!
