Coffee Shop - Aix Café

This hole-in-the-wall creperie, named after the city of Aix-en-Provence in France, is one of many Melbourne laneway secrets worth uncovering. Look for the queue waiting expectantly for consistently good coffee and crepes. Colourful French-accented artwork, posters and provisions line the cherry-coloured walls, creating a cosseting vibe. If you’re lucky enough to snare one of the precious tables, sit back and drink in the aromas of crepes and freshly ground Aurora coffee. Easy-going staff know just how to perk up jaded city workers – with a hit of caffeine. An espresso will be fragrant with musk and fruit, its finish lingering and zesty, while a caffe latte will be a liquid shot of toffee and vanilla.
