Think retro funky.
I imagine myself as a young boy walking half on the hot footpath and half on the prickle filled grass to the Top Shop for a bag filled with lollies.
Flash forward to now. My desires are equally as strong but now coffee is my lure. I want it just as badly.
The Top Shop is a great little place we stumbled upon while exploring Byron Bay. I was still a little drawn but my experience at my brothers wedding and a good coffee would be all the difference between a good journey home or a crap one. We hedged out bets and Laurene went in to order our fixes.
She said that the staff where very lax and the general attitude was that of too cool for school. So the coffee had better be something to rave about. She returns much later with two white Bio Something or other cups filled with the object of our desire...
Wow. The Doppio was brilliant. The flavour was smooth, rich and full of life. A real sensation. I wish it didn't end. In fact it's almost worth driving back there for another.
Laurene loved her Latte also. Smooth and well rounded taste with the right balance of milk and espresso.
So, if your in Byron and you want a treat then I recommend the prickly walk, it's worth the pain.
