Melbourne has stacks of great walking tours. The winding laneways make for great 'discoveries'. One of the oldest tours is the 'Melbourne Coffee Tour', which I'm showing off here:
I did this tour, along with the Chocolate tour, in 2007, with my friend Gath from I Want That Flight.

Melbourne Coffee Detective - One Latte at a time
The search for a great coffee (not perfect, that is ridiculous) takes me all through the CBD. I'd like to say that I have ventured out to the suburbs to see what they have to offer - but alas, my laziness wins out over my loveoflatte.
Some of my favourite places are:
Postal Cafe: Corner Lt. Collins and Russell st. This place has been around for ages, and the best thing they have going for them is the staff. Friendly and very fast. If you need a pickmeup and you are in a hurry, then you cannot go wrong here. A bit on the pricier side, though.
Brother Baba Budan: 359 Little Bourke Street. Great place to pick up beans as well as a their blend of the day. They take their coffee seriously here, and get their goods from Seven Seeds.
Captains of Industry: Level 1, 2 Somerset Pl. Strictly for hipsters, there - you've been warned. So if you've spent all winter growing a beard, this is the perfect place to show it off. They shaves, suits, and also make great coffee.
