my favourite things…

Posted on by

I have decided to post in honour of my favourite coffee shop in Victoria which I will not be able to enjoy for a long time now.
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting Mirage Coffee. Previously, there was just the one shop on Blanshard but now there is a second one on Government close to the inner harbour. I still like the one on Blanshard better but I can never find it. In addition to being beautiful, it also tastes good… and they never think I’m crazy for asking for a soy mocha. Mmmm.
