Pu’er Coffee

 My Adelaide journey is coming to an end, and today I want to share the café that served as my “grand finale.” It’s Leisurely Coffee , located at 219 Gilbert St, Adelaide SA 5000. Interestingly, Leisurely wasn’t even on my original café list. While I was in Adelaide, a follower recommended it in the comments. Once again, the wisdom of the crowd proved right. I looked it up and saw how popular it was — and more importantly, I noticed that Leisurely regularly features beans roasted by ONA Coffee . At that moment, I thought: Well, doesn’t this perfectly make up for my decision not to visit Canberra? If you’re a coffee lover in Australia, ONA needs no introduction. Choosing their beans as a house staple is simply a smart move. Like most Australian cafés, Leisurely opens early and closes around 2 p.m. Australians flock to cafés in the morning and around lunchtime, and this place was absolutely packed — nearly every seat taken. A Community Café with History The Gilbert Street locati...

Because I love coffee, I find myself filled with extra motivation and a quiet kind of joy. That passion pushes me to go farther, to explore more places, and to discover those hidden, small-but-beautiful gems. What is the meaning of travel, really? I think everyone has their own answer. For me, I simply enjoy living for a while in a place where no one knows me—wandering through unfamiliar streets on my way to yet another café. Along the way, you encounter moments that can feel even more beautiful than the scenery itself. It’s not that I insist on leaving the city center and traveling all that way by train. It’s just that the roastery I want to visit can only exist somewhere a little more tucked away. And honestly, that’s part of the charm. Today’s café isn’t your typical first pick for casual coffee drinkers. Its location makes it clear: it either serves the surrounding community or it’s a true destination café. Far from downtown and removed from the usual tourist attractions, it’s the ...

 Before I realized it, a full week had already passed since I arrived in Brisbane. Honestly, when it comes to the lively core of the CBD, you can get the hang of it in just three days. A friend of mine who lives in Spain once told me that lying on the grass is a “mandatory course” here. So I did—sitting on the lawn with a bit of middle-aged rebellion that definitely doesn’t belong to the stereotypical “blue-haired retiree.” Around me, people were zoning out, reading books, or lying down scrolling on their phones. Living under the open sky, using the earth as your floor and the heavens as your roof—this kind of carefree ease feels like a form of self-kindness. The unspoken rule? Nobody’s allowed to make me work. And yet, in the end, between sightseeing on public transport and fully committing to lawn-mode, I chose a third option: heading back to the hotel to grab my laptop, then making my way to the State Library to use the Wi-Fi and write. Yes—this very article was written inside ...

 The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops ranking is often regarded as the “Michelin Guide” of the global coffee industry. In the 2025 list, Australia once again secured an impressive number of spots. Among the cafés that made it into the top ten, Toby’s Estate in Sydney claimed the No. 1 position, while Proud Mary—my very first stop after landing in Melbourne—ranked fourth. Today, I want to talk about the café that took eighth place : Coffee Anthology , located at 155 Charlotte St, Brisbane City QLD 4000 . If you’re planning a trip to Brisbane and you genuinely love coffee, this is an absolute must-visit. A CBD Icon with a Multi-Roaster Philosophy Coffee Anthology sits right in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD. It’s best known for its multi-roaster collaboration model , offering a rotating selection of beans from both Australian and international roasters. On top of that, the café serves excellent food and pastries, making it a true one-stop destination for both coffee and dining. They op...
