Coffee in Left Bank

Bloody Superfino does not seem to be opening up on Saturdays any more. Thought it was just a new-year-slowness-and-so-many-public-holidays-until-early-Feb thing but they were not open today. So we tried somewhere else very local, kind of a crazy hippie place in Left Bank but the cafes and satay places up there are always jam packed. Offbeat Originals. It’s got lots of 70’s orange and brown furniture and those orange glass vases and bottles everywhere and they do coffee and burgers and toasted sandwhiches and smoothies and jars of bikkies and milkshakes (which the Mister couldn’t resist, especially as someone told us a couple of years ago that they made the best). Coffee was good enough to drink the whole cup – tasted a bit Illy-like, so not a local fresh roast. Turns out it was Sublime – some Nelson-based place I’ve just discovered. Why not go Wellington? Anyway, the Mister is determined that we’ll be going back for a burger for dinner sometime. Yeah. I really like burgers.
