I added a dash of low fat milk into this Long Black ($4.50). Patisserie G uses coffee beans from Liberty Coffee and has a lovely La Marzocco espresso machine to pull shots from.

I enjoyed this cuppa! Its full-bodied with a mild acidity and tasting notes of cocoa. Its not too strong and bitter, although there's a slight astringency to it. But overall really not bad and my caffeine craving has been quite satisfied. There is an array of delicious looking cakes and pastries in the window and a seating area where you can enjoy your drinks and food in peace (which might explain the price tag for such a small cup of coffee). I am loving OUE Downtown nowadays, its a peaceful oasis in the hubbub of the CBD.
