MELBOURNE CBD
A coffee-only date at Patricia
Meet for a short weekday coffee at Patricia Coffee Brewers in the CBD. It’s standing-room-only, so choose a seated alternative if either of you needs a chair.
Why this one.
Coffee is the focus, with complimentary sparkling water and a highlighted Melbourne ‘magic’: a double ristretto with milk in a five-ounce cup. A good fit for a brief first meeting when you’re both happy to stand.
