Min Lokal @ Fitzroy

A happy discovery for a pedestrian...

You wouldn't thought there would be a cafe there, but not only there's a cafe but also a pretty good one, well known cafe for the local of fitzroy/collingwood (I always get confuse which suburb i am at when i am down that end of town...)

To avoid some random hustling people, whom I passed twice already, an alternative route that I never tried was taken to get down from Smith Street to the parallel Brunswick Street. Passed through suburban houses after houses, then i saw a happy couple with their a pup just sat at a table outside a house that seems to be a shop, the only shop at the block. Sort of tired and thirsty I actually turned back and have a look at this little shop that I expected to be a milk bar or sandwich bar of some sort but turns out to be a cozy little cafe - Min Lokal

The deco is quite minimal with a feature wall on the back of the counter. Plain white walls and wooden furniture and floor has create a chill and relax environment for the diners, which is great for a lazy start of a morning or in contrast, to start doing your work in such a quiet environment. Tho I heard this place can get rather busy earlier in the day for breakfast/brunch, especially for the limited space of this small cafe, which only have two communal tables, two window bunches and two tables outdoor on the pavement.

To add to the clean and plains style, little pot plants in glass jars  were placed around the cafe such as near the window and on the communal table. Some even have a tiny toy rabbit in it.

As I already had breakfast and wasn't that hungry to eat anything yet, I didn't order any food though the food they offered on their menu is quite tempting.

There was a choice of ordering a bottle juice or fresh juice or an organic lemonade, but how could you not order an iced latte when it is available on the menu and only $3.8. And conventional iced coffee as in the one with cream and/or ice-cream is also available.

The iced latte was smooth and rich and hasn't been weaken or water down cause of the ice. And the size of the glass is a relatively good size as it is slightly bigger than a normal latte glasses which allows some room of the ice.

Min Lokal is a cute little local cafe located away from the busy main street and sit well in the residential side of collinwood/fitzory area. However, the standard of the coffee they provided is greater than a small local cafe would usually offer, I guess after all it is resided at a suburb with a hugh competition of cafes  and eateries.

Couldn't find a business card, the lovely barista wrote their address and number on a piece of sticker note for me, which i reconfirm all the contact detail with the aid of our good friend Google.
