Alice: the Caffeine Capital of the Outback!

Evidence of my scholarship
Well, at great hardship to myself, I have continued my quest to identify great coffee spots in Alice Springs. Initially I was surprised to find any decent coffee here, now I find myself overwhelmed by the task I have embarked upon. However, Dear Reader, I shall persevere and complete this selfless task which I pledged to carry out on your behalf.

Example #3 - Olive Pink, Botanical Gardens, Tuncks Road.


Set in the grounds of the arid botanical gardens the cafe has shaded tables set among bird-laden gardens. The food is simple and delicious. The coffee is good enough for a return before I go home. There are interesting walks among the plantings which are well signed. A 'goat track' winds up the hill at the back where you will be rewarded with excellent views (and an excuse for another coffee) after your exertion.

Chicken burger and latte.


This one has me considering moving here permanently. Best coffee so far, funky atmosphere, music, artwork and smiling staff. My local contact says this is the best place in town for breakfast. I can do nothing except concur!
Enough laneway chic to challenge Melbourne's reputation

Worth queueing for

I will revisit this one as often as I can to ensure the quality of the coffee, indeed of the whole establishment, does not decline. Furthermore,  I pledge when I am back in Alice later in the year, I will revisit numerous times just to keep them on their toes.
