I think it's clear where my bias lies..

[sarren]

BECAUSE THE TIME IS UPON US.

Valentino's

- Comfy
- Wide range of food
- Easy parking for people who don't care about the environment
- Northbridge quiet on a Sunday
- Toilets handy (hey, this important to ME if we're sitting around for several hours drinking alcohol coffee).
- Licensed
- BAD COFFEE (but other coffee places within walking distance)


That good coffee place in Forrest Chase - Bocelli's

- Excellent coffee
- Limited food range
- Right next to train station for tree-huggers
- Expensive to park
- City busy on Sunday
- Have to wander off to Myers for toilets
- Only supposed to be 18° with 'showers clearing', not very protected

Really not fussed - can deal with bad coffee ;) I figure that the stairs in Valentino's are almost a match for Myer. Also there is a wide range of desserty stuff at Bocelli's if not stupendous amounts of main fare etc.

(see my bias?)

*loves you*

You ticked the wrong box!! Bocelli's is the Forrest Place coffee shop.

Again with the bias, but if I'm going to be there 11-4 or whatever, I'm going to want a decent lunch and comfy warm seating. Having said that, if more people vote for Bocelli's I can always wander off to the food hall and get something substantial.

No i didn't want to tick the Bocelli's box... I wanted to indicate i was flexible and didn't have my heart set. But then wanted to match your bias :P

And yes - given the weather atm, I think Valentino's is the better choice :) But yes, I do love Bocelli's a lot.

The other place we could consider next time is Rifo's in Vic Park - it's right in front of a bus stop, or Maylands, that may be near the train... but they had great coffee (in Vic Park) and have great looking food too (though they were quite busy on Sunday).

The maylands one has good food, variable service and average coffee. It's two blocks walk from Maylands train station, and on guildford road for easy bus access.

OT: Have you or K tried/heard about the coffe at Epic in West Perth? OMG smoothest eva!

OOooh!! I will have to now :)

*love*

Thanks for the info!

I also like the idea of e`cuchina on the corner of hay and william (next to central park) in the city - it looks lovely and i've had decent coffee from there with cricketk before, also they're a restaurant which suggests a) toilets close at hand and b) range of food. Not sure of pricing though. Also this is a thought for the future and not for Sunday.

I don't think I'm going to make it, despite being one of the birthday people this month, as I'm hideously ill. And Sunday is my actual birthday, and my family seems to want my attention. And I have to go to a conference on Saturday, and will be shattered with exhaustion in addition to the illness.

*sigh*

Obviously I'm not coming but I vote for Valentino's - it's a lot nicer!

[mr-booboo.livejournal.com]

What did we tell you on Wednesday? Don't give people options.

Just pick Valentinos. Also, Northbridge is *not* quiet on Sundays. You're crazy. It's always busy on Sunday.

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Last time we went there for a meal at Valentinos on a Sunday morning there was a FESTIVAL and it still wasn't very busy!!!!


You also told Sinden I kill tv shows.

[ascetic-hedony.livejournal.com]

Both things are true ;)
Slight preference for Valentinos - May still show up with takeout coffee from elsewhere (or just have coffee before leaving home and milkshakes at the cafe).

[mr-booboo.livejournal.com]

You *do* kill TV shows.

Every time we go for Dim Sum on Sundays, it's always packed. No free parking after 10 am. I guess it's busy with Sunday shopping and lunch.

I just randomly guessed, to see what everyone else voted for. I don't mind either but I shall be late as I have a hockey match at 12, so please let Elaine know to stay late (I have her birthday present)
