Veneziano - Preliminary review. Many more to come!














Hello Brisbane Coffee fans! 

Veneziano Coffee at 369 Montague Rd, West End - www.venezianocoffee.com.au - they have made our list of top coffee spots in Brisbane. In fairness we haven't yet developed our criteria for judging each establishment with any across the board consistency, so for now we will call this a preliminary review.

Veneziano are a specialty roaster from Melbourne. Home to some of the best Baristas in Australia (and yes even the world) they have set a high standard in all things coffee.

When we visited we had a single shot latte each and a single espresso. Since this experience was a little bit lacking in coffee flavour (what serious coffee drinker has singles in a drink as large as a latte) I have decided to change the review process from now on to a standard drink order. That being said, the drinks we had were well made, and Veneziano's blends and single origins really are of the highest standards.

The standard drink order will now be:

A latte/flat white/cappuccino/whatever milk based drink you want in an acf tulip cup (or similar size) made on a double and a doppio ristretto as the drinks of choice for review purposes and so that some standards are in place.

In the future we will be opening up the blog (with some moderation of course) for people to be able to put comments in, and tell us of their own experiences of any of the places which we review.

Who is the 'we' that does the reviews? Do you need someone who can be like 'average coffee drinker' person?
