Dude, this is the best resource on the web. Can you review some down the Mornington Peninsula for me?
Keep up the good work. It’s a great excuse to drink more coffee anyway…

Unfortunately I don’t head down that way very often nowadays. I know you must have a couple of faves, though.
One tricky thing about this is remembering the names of the coffee shops. Reviews aren’t too helpful if they’re about, erm, that place, you know, that one on the main street …
I’ve tried the yellow pages but many of em don’t come up under “cafes” for some reason.
Still, I reckon there’s a couple more reviews up my sleeve. Watch this space!

Thanks for that Steve. I didn’t know about that place, but I’ll have to check it out. I’ll add it to the main list.
