The weekend: I was supposed to lock myself inside; away from the food temptations I oh-so-very-muchly wanted to try out - but alas my appetite had other ideas...
SATURDAY - the day of semi-productivity.
A asked me to give him a lift to uni, as reluctant as I was, I agreed under the previso that I'd get atleast two hours study in before meeting my grandma for brunch. Alas, A's tummy had other thoughts on how to spend the morning. A detour to Seven Seeds was in order. Seven Seeds is the new buzz coffee place in the city - this was reinforced to us on Saturday morning when we couldn't get a table! We've been going there because the coffee is good and because its just a hop, skip and a jump away from the law building at uni. But apparently that guy from Top Chef (is that what it's called?) mentioned it in The Age over the weekend, so they were packed! The lovely Irish waitress explained how hectic it had been, I get the impression they're not exactly thrilled about all the mainstream press they've been getting.
We waited ten minutes for a seat, squeezed between an obnoxious law student impressing his date and a nice middle aged couple. A and I each ordered a coffee (they do lovely little teapots of special black coffee-yummy!) and the avocado and seeds on toast.
Despite how busy they were, the food and coffees came out quickly and everyone waiting managed to get a table. I can see why its so popular - the interior design is bright and industrial looking, perfect for the little laneway its built into. The food, yes I can also see why its becoming popular- and the coffee... well its like a wine bar - a place where coffee enthusiasts can go and comment on the underlying notes present in the beans!
