The Summer Hot List
Posted on
It’s shaping up to be a hot summer. Here’s what should be on your to-do list.
Eat
Church Neighbourhood Goods
With the tagline of “coffee, skate, kitchen”, Church will see Odgers Lane—in the centre of the Melbourne Building—come to life once more. Opening in the space formerly occupied by Meadow, Church will be cooking up a “seasonal menu and serving specialty coffee” while supporting local clothing brands and artists by selling their wares in-store, hence the name. With airy and quiet outdoor seating, everyone will be going to Church this summer.

What can’t you drink at Braddon Brew? With a café, bar, coffee roastery and brewery, this Lonsdale Street establishment is able to be all things to all people (and give people the choice of coffee at night and beer at lunchtime). There will even be the opportunity to roast your own coffee (yes, really) with the Braddon Brew team believing that “it’s the passion and love that we put into the world that will move us forward.”
