The cafe: Located at the rear of Prahran market, Market Lane is candy store for grown-up coffee lovers. With Fleur, the daughter of Australian cheese legend Will Studd at it's helm, this coffee roastery and cafe is one seriously cool establishment. And being an off-shoot of Melbourne Coffee Merchants, it has some of the best beans in town too. Impeccably clean, colourful and comfortable, Market Lane is not just about drinking...it's a total coffee experience. With quality blends and single origins available to try, an amazing selection of coffee paraphernalia to purchase and a great take-home selection to boot, its no wonder Market Lane is a coffee crowd favourite. All sorts of people can be found waiting patiently for their coffee goodness here. At busy times, a little patience may be required...but all good things come to those who wait!The coffee: This blend was made up of beans sourced from two different places in Brazil and one place in Rwanda. There was a small poster at the front counter detailing the blend. On the nose there are clean smokey, roasted and wafer biscuit aromas. The palate is silky smooth and beautifully balanced. A very creamy texture and medium+ body with hints of light chocolate, raisins and nuts coated in honey. Perfect liquid to milk ratio. A short mac than can be enjoyed equally by those who prefer light and those who prefer heavy styled coffee. A must try for any serious short mac fiend. $3.50. Score 9/10.
