jimsan Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 In Ballarat for a birthday and was introduced to L'Espreso by my girl. Great Coffee and spent some time and trawling through the rack there. Can't remember the last time I dropped a bag of money on discs but I couldn't help myself. An absolute gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Seems an interesting place to relax and listen to music, if you're in Ballarat. Not just coffee by the looks of it, a bar and restaurant too. http://www.ballarat.com/lespresso.htm It also has its own CD shop within the business: A list of some music they're into here: http://www.ballarat.com/blkswcds.htm In their own words "There are no top 40 or TV specials here. It's jazz, blues and the most interesting contemporary music available." Hmmm....if every restaurant, bar or cafe had CD shop operating within the premises, I can see it now, "honey how 'bout we go out for meal tonight?...." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbuzzardstubble Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Is that the coffee shop with all the jazz discs on the wall jimsan.? I was in that shop in about 1994. That coffee cost me over 60 bucks:-) Walked out with a couple of ECM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsan Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well she was eating while I was finding music! Great jazz, blues, soul and country selections, comfortably spent a few hundred dollars without blinking. Great vibe she said the food was great!

mrbuzzardstubble Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I've got vague recollections of going in there quite some years before '94,so they've been in business for a long time. Bar stools were placed along the wall where the cds were.- on the right as you walked in.By the looks of that picture they've beefed up their stock somewhat. Long may they survive.

Full Range Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Coffee should be categorised as a fresh food that spoils after 6 weeks or earlier Anyway what was the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
