Dukes Coffee Roasters

Random Chapel Street wandering saw me stumble across this lovely cafe around brunch time.

Strong Soy Latte


Straight up I was given water (love this small attention to detail in cafes) and I ordered a strong soy latte, and damn, it was excellent. Without wanting to sound like a coffee wanker, it did taste like smoky cigars and chocolate wrapped up in a soft fluffy blanket. Yep. Fantastic coffee.

 I sat near a large, gorgeous recycled timber wall with shelves on it holding various coffee packets and coffee making paraphernalia. The whole back area is lovely and light, aided by a skylight cut into the roof near the exposed wooden beams. 


Bolstered by caffeine energy, I ordered the bircher museli for a healthy injection to my day.

This was great - yogurt covered oats and dried fruit, slivered almonds for crunch, and long, thin slices of apple on top. The addition of little bits of chewy, honey-filled granola on top was inspired, it was really delicious.

Bircher Museli
 A second strong soy latte was equally as excellent as the first, served by the friendly yet laidback staff.

A wonderful experience, I'll certainly be back for more of this excellent coffee.
