This weekend we had our lovely friend Naomi come to paint our front window and it was an absolute blast. The atmosphere in the cafe was electric and everyone was super interested in her and her amazing work.
We chose the words “Take It Slow” to serve as a reminder to us (and hopefully the people who see it) to remember to breathe, slow down and not rush through the chaos of life. 💛💙
More of Naomi’s work can be found on her website here and follow her on Instagram here :-)
We now stock 250g bags of Prana Chai at Deakin St for you to make your own chai at home :-) We’ll let you know how to make it (without a coffee machine!) if you’re unsure.
A steaming hot chat is the perfect drink for those cold winter nights that are soon approaching..
Our lovely friends, Good Sense, sent us a box full of Korean chilies that they grew themselves so we can make a batch of our infamous chili jam... coming soon! Thank you Kota and Rie! We’ll send you some soon ;-)
We were interviewed for local magazine Aelde recently and had a great time chatting about life in Tokyo, Melbourne, our coffee stand and coffee-making as more of a ‘ritual’.
A good friend of Simon’s, Jean-Emmanuel Krieger aka Baïkonour, sent us his fantastic new record Everybody Knows This is Hardware which we’re proudly displaying in the cafe. It’s all the right types of noisy, we’re totally digging the sound!
Listen here on Spotify :-)
Oliver Sacks’ annotated books
From Bill Hayes:
Turns out, Oliver Sacks loved to write notes on the pages of books he was reading–thoughts, ideas, arguments with the author, diagrams. Well over 500 of these…. He even turned a book upside down, if he needed to continue his thought….
I’ve just become instantly obsessed with this movie.. Everything about it, from the author Kenji Miyazawa, to the animation style and the use of sound and music is just fascinating. Well worth your time.
Things that inspire us..
A fascinating video that focuses on the work of Kazuhiko Kudo from Hokkaido in Northern Japan. Tune in and drop out to his beautiful work..
On Tuesday we climbed Mt. Takao, just 50 minutes west of Tokyo. Such a beautiful mountain steeped in deep history. The weather was unrelentingly hot but it worked in our favour because there was practically no one climbing at the same time as us. We were able to enjoy the absolute silence that comes with being in the middle of jungle on the side of a mountain.
On Monday we went to visit our friend Naomi's first solo exhibition in Tokyo at UltraSuperNew Gallery in Harajuku.
She works under the moniker Survival Techniques and her pieces “[aim] to promote hope and optimism and bring a little light to people having a dark day”. Her style, typography and colour choice are all fantastic.
That was also a daaaamn fine bowl of ramen at Nogata Hope around the corner..

There is another aspect to our enjoyment of coffee, beyond its flavour attributes. Knowing where it came from, who produced it, and what sorts of substantive details lie behind the unique flavour profile and character of a coffee can jack up the amount of pleasure we can get from drinking it. There’s a world of flavour nuance to explore and understand, and direct trade opens a doorway to that.

Our small collection of ceramics from Yomiya Takashi. Asanijigama, his gallery & kiln, can be found in his hometown of Amakusa, in the Kumamoto prefecture of Japan.
