After Brisbane, I took a Virgin Blue flight to Sydney. The weather couldn’t have been more different – from hot and sticky in Brisbane to chilly and wet in Sydney. Oh well, lucky for me the weather cleared up by the second day.
I was taken to Toby’s for my first breakfast in Sydney. Their coffee was very delicious and actually, I just wanted to share this art I encountered on top of my flat white (Australian term for a coffee and milk combo similar to a latte)!
They also serve some nice sandwiches and baked goods but their coffee is the thing to have.

I’m going to Sydney Wednesday night. I’ll be heading to Woolloomooloo, too … I want to visit ‘Harry’s Café de Wheels’ and do an article about it.
But, I’ll probably look into Toby’s, too, now!

I have a photo of Harry’s Cafe but we were too full to have any pies! I can’t wait to read your article!

Oh no, flat whites and lattes are very very different. Looks great. I love that area, and up into Potts Point, esp Yellow Bistro.
Great that you got to the Fish Market – very Sydney.

VegeYum: Does a flat white have more coffee than a latte?

Yeah a flat white is has less milk to it then a latte and it isn’t quite as foamy as a cappucino or latte. I hadn’t realised that they weren’t called flat whites elsewhere but now that I think about it I haven’t seen them elsewhere myself.

Darren: A number of Australian coffee shops have now popped up around London and they’re serving flat whites galore!
