That snow-white courtyard is all cosy'd with a lineage of heaters, and the coffee reins have been hijacked by the yellow-clad caffeine disciples at Niccolo Coffee. If you classify yourself a coff connoisseur in this city and haven’t yet encountered their brew, you should get stalking like your best friend’s prospective relationship depended on it. Smooth-talking baristas churning out even smoother blends? Just what every Melburnian wants on their morning latte crawl.

And while forfeiting bed and your dog’s second-hand body warmth may seem close to impossible on any sub-zero-celsius morning, the fare here is worth it. Don your best Eskimo attire and snuggle up on an STE seat. The staff will proceed to laud you like the page boys on Meghan Markle’s Givenchy gown.

From the new additions, you’ll be pining over a few hundred more helpings of the Naked Challah French Toast. A truly devilish stack, this one is riddled with charred apple, seasonal fruit surprises at each layer, mascarpone, Tim Tam crumb (!!!!!), whiskey-infused maple syrup (because they can) and a garnish of gold for an outrageous yet regal touch.

Whether your brunch motives comprise of a food porn fix, a wholesome feed or a cup of No BS coffee, Street Talk deserves a drive-by. From humble beginnings in 2009, these guys have really put a jewel in the crown of Armadale’s food scene. And for that, we salute them.
