So, I’m just not ordering it much anymore around these parts. ![]() ![]() While these beautiful local coffee shops often have good coffee, the vast majority of the time they don’t have good hot chocolate. Now my hot chocolate sits alone in the bag because Rich (unlike me sadly) has many an option to satisfy his caffeine cravings (and he is as picky with his coffees as I am with my hot chocolate). When we first moved to Australia and went on road trips, Rich would usually bring his little Italian coffee maker with coffee from home and I my hot chocolate of choice. There are really interesting and unique options that could make it into the pages of a travel/food magazine or go viral on an Instagram feed across this beautiful country. Sure, they aren’t always good (neither are the ones in the city), but there are options. Even smaller towns far, far away from the city will have an impressive selection of coffee shops. This Australian right isn’t limited to city folks. While these coffee shops are all tiny, collectively they had the power to fight off a giant. At least that is the impression I get (and I’m sticking with it). You may have to get in your car to drive to the supermarket, the doctor or school, but everyone in Australia has the right to be within walking distance of at least one coffee shop. There are excellent coffee shops everywhere. There is a reason why Starbucks never took off in Australia (none at all in Western Australia).
