In recent decades, Australian coffee culture has become one of the most recognised and celebrated globally, and Aussies have inspired many café trends around the world.       The biggest difference between our Aussie cafes and those that operate off our shores? We don’t just go to cafes for coffee and a croissant. We go to see friends, for work catch-ups, first dates, to study, to have difficult conversations... For us, cafes provide much-needed spaces for socialising and relationship-building.   We have pretty high expectations of our coffee, and atmosphere and aesthetics are everything when choosing where to get brunch so that we can snap up the perfect Insta shot.   So, how did we get to the point where we are happy to spend $30 on a...

Read on for the broad common characteristics found in each of them, so that you can choose the right fit.  ...

However, the constantly increasing demand means that the list of alternatives has been on a never-ending incline, and now it’s almost impossible to keep track of what’s on the market.  So, we decided to break it down. First, it’s important to know the options that exist. To name a few:  Soy   Almond   Oat  Coconut Macadamia Rice Cashew Hemp Quinoa Pea (it's a thing!)  However, it’s simply not realistic to source and supply every single option out there. When...
